A politician by instinct, US Ambassador Timothy J. Roemer continues to play to the gallery as he tries to reach out from beyond the high walls of Roosevelt House.
Unlike career practitioners of diplomacy, Roemer, a former Indiana Congressman, loves to talk a lot and reach out to people, shaking hands and cracking jokes as as he did on his trip to Nizamuddin Basti. He drove a cycle rickshaw during his latest journey to Bihar.
A dedicated foodie, he had proudly flaunted a heavy pan of chicken jambalaya at a festival of southern US food a few months ago.
