After Independence of India I was the only Latin-American in the country. I felt privileged and every day after my studies I used to go to the Prime Ministers residence for my daily Spanish class to Señora Gandhi. After we finished she offered me a cup of tea and then I left until the next day. I must say that she ALREADY new some Spanish. After so many lessons she learned splendidly. So when she used to go on holidays with her children she used to write to me in Spanish. Later when I went back to Mexico I published one of the letters in Spanish that she had sent to me in India.".Obey of Gosse's daughter is named Debora Indira after Mgrs. Gandhi.
