Bill clinton birthday: On hearing the name of Bill Clinton, I miss America’s politics, the White House and his tenure. But perhaps you will be surprised to know that he has a special relationship with Jabrauli, a small village in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. Which was called his second home.

The year was 2000, when Bill Clinton visited India as US President. His visit included big cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Hyderabad. But during this time there was a turn which connected Jabrauli village in Lucknow directly to the White House.
