Mother Teresa
by Ranga
 THE
winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, Mother Teresa, who was described
during her lifetime as "the most powerful woman in the world"
and who dedicated her life to serving "the poorest of the
poor" was in Delhi in 1990. I happened to meet her there at a
function organised in her honour.
She got down from the
car and as she was proceeding to the venue of the function, I confronted
her with a sketch of her that I had hurriedly made. She took it, moved
towards one of the tables and started writing ‘God bless you’ before
she affixed her signature.
The people who had gathered to have a
glimpse of her insisted that they wanted to take a look at the picture
and so she held it high so that all could have a look at it and returned
it to me with a smile and the words "God bless you... Thank
you".
