Settling into a new home was always a challenge to a Mysurean like myself, though I had lived in several foreign countries over the years. It was no different when I went to Bad Godesberg, Bonn, West Germany, when my husband, A. Madhavan, was posted as Ambassador to FRG (the Federal Republic of Germany) from 1988 to 1991. We witnessed a historical event during this tenure; the re-unification of East and West Germany. Madhavan found himself envoy to a larger country when FRG and GDR (the German Democratic Republic) merged into one.
