3rd,4,5,6 and 7th Nov.


7th
Visited IIPA. In the Supreme court in the afternoon.
6th
Venita drove back to VV in the afternoon from Vikaspuri after about a week.
Attended interaction with H.E. Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, Chairman and H.E.Maqsoud Kruse, Executive Director, of the Steering Board of Hedayah, International  Centre of Excellence for Countering Violent Extremism (a NGO,established in Abu Dhabi in Dec.2012 ) at IIC along with other members of Policy Perspective Foundation, a local think tank. Hedayah professes control of extremism by debate. It says that a bad idea cannot be destroyed/dusted under the carpet. It can be won/changed only by a superior idea and till we have such a superior idea, we should continue to debate. It was refreshing to hear such a logic for a change from a NGO of the Middle East.
5th

4th
Held detailed discussion with Shri Rana ,who is reprinting Late Sharad Chandra Varma's book on Guru Nanak. Shri Rana's daughter is a University student.
