Solid desi vibes
From morning greetings with photos of gulmohar and amaltas trees at his residence to taking Hindi lessons from Bollywood films, the British High Commissioner Alex Ellis keeps sharing glimpses of everything he loves in and about India. We love your love for all things desi, dear High Commissioner!
Filmi dreams
From meeting SRK, SS Rajamouli and Kamal Haasan to exploring the culinary culture of various Indian cities, the US Ambassador Eric Garcetti has been chronicling his travel tales in India by sharing pictures and anecdotes, food experiences and more on his social media handles with the hashtag #AmbExploresIndia. Amb-fluencer, we say!
#TravelGoals alert
The Japanese Ambassador Hiroshi Suzuki recently explored Mumbai. He gorged on vada pav and misal pav, shopped at local markets, travelled on the local train and also met Aamir Khan at his residence. “Maine jo pehli Bollywood movie dekhi thi woh 3 Idiots thi,” said the
ambassador, leaving the actor in awe of his Hindi-speaking skills. Those are some #TravelGoals there, sir Suzuki!
Who’s got the moves?
The Korean Ambassador Chang Jae-bok is quite active in taking part in offbeat activities organised by the Korean Embassy, and his social media profile is proof enough. His recent ‘DRRReam come true’ post with Ram Charan and dance on Naatu Naatu took Twitter by storm. He’s got some moves, and everyone approves! Chiranjeevi even hosted a high tea for him. In a social media post, the veteran actor said, “Was looking forward to meet you since the time you matched the Naatu Naatu steps with Ram Charan (sic)”
Aam-bassador alert!
The German Ambassador Philipp Ackermann’s recent #MangoDiaries are a hit online. Not just in Delhi, wherever the ambassador goes, he makes sure to try local mango varieties. He has become quite the authority on the topic and has made it his go-to conversation starter these days. This love for aams ain’t that aam!
Cultural best
Search ‘Emmanuel Lenain Portfolio’ on Instagram and you will discover India through the French Ambassador Emmanuel Lenain’s lens. At a recent event, he told us, “I find social media to be a lively space... I like to engage with people and I could do more of it actually.” He clicks buildings, people and “not so obvious frames” for his gram, and trust us, they are fab!
