New Delhi, Nov 30 (IANS) Less than five months into the job, US Ambassador Timothy J. Roemer has learnt one of the basic tenets of Indian culture - respect for the mother-in-law.
Speaking to reporters, Roemer recalled that he shared President Barack Obama’s table with his mother-in-law Mary Jonston at the state banquet in honour of the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh.
“As you can see, I’ve already adapted quite easily to Indian culture, bringing my mother-in-law to dinner…” he said, in a lighter vein.
