Indian PM visit

John,

I hear that the VP is doing an event w/ PM Modi; I am now doing the kind of embarrassing thing of checking in on an invite for myself.  There are not many Indian Americans running DC organizations; we hosted Kerry at CAP before his India trip and we've launched this India 2020 program so it would be a tad embarrassing to not get an invite.  But you never know so I'm checking in.

Can you let me know what I should do here?  I hate to put you in any kind of awkward spot, so just let me know. 

Thanks!

Neera
