Barcelona beckoned. First thing on the itinerary? Of course, the grand La Sagrada Familia Basilica, the life work of architect Gaudi. Its giant Basilica has been under construction since 1882, and it is still incomplete. We were told that it may take another 10 years. Even so, it is one of the most magnificent buildings I have seen. I could only describe it in three words: Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram. This description of the almighty was what I wrote in the visitors’ book. While there, I was happy to meet the honorary consul-general of India in Barcelona, Luis Valeriano Gonzalez Perez. He made our visit extremely memorable by his warm hospitality. Now 93, he was appointed consul-general by the maharaja of Jaipur 60 years ago. He took us to another Indian restaurant here, called Rangoli. It is nice to see Indian cuisine being appreciated in different parts of the world.
