PM Modi gifts handcrafted pair of bookends to David Cameron

London, Nov 13 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday presented British Prime Minister David Cameron a specially handcrafted pair of bookends made of wood, marble and silver.
The centerpiece of each of these bookends is a silver bell, an object of rich symbolism relating to inner wisdom and tidings, which has a verse from the Bhagavad Gita etched in Sanskrit, along with its English meaning along the inside rim. 
 
Taken from Chapter 13 of the Bhagavad Gita, these verses (15-16) describe the ultimate underlying reality. Each bell has one verse etched on it.
 
In addition, in view of Prime Minister Cameron’s fondness for Robert Graves’ work on World War I Goodbye to All That, PM Modi also presented to him David Omissi’s Indian Voices of the Great War.
 
For the First Lady, the Prime Minister presented Aranmula metal mirror, a unique GI protected handicraft from Kerala, and some pashmina stoles.
