Anjani Kumar Sahay was recently appointed as the Ambassador of India to the Republic of Mali. Upon his new appointment, the Indian diplomat shared a brief video, which gives a rare peek into the life of a diplomat.
As anyone can imagine, unpacking things and setting up in a new residence can be a tiresome task. Even a diplomat doesn't escape from that ordeal. But Sahay has a positive outlook on his transfer and looks at the ordeal of setting up in his new residence as an opportunity to create a "home", make new friends and grow together.
The video shared by Sahay shows a truck unloading the belongings of the diplomat at his new residence. He writes, "An integral part of Diplomat's life. Our household effects from New York reached Bamako, after 85 days. We'll again convert our 'house' into a welcoming 'home'. We'll again forget the 'transience' of tenure. We'll again find new friends & grow together till.... JAI HIND."
