In India , Guests are like God- we need to treat them with utmost respect . As the saying goes 'Athithi devo bhava' . Obama is in Mumbai. What the government could not do for years- Obama has done it with his 3 day visit- Got the streets cleaned up! Traffic is to the maximum in certain junctions- since some roads have been blocked- to allow Obama and his black cars to move around in a quiet city- since they are not used to the hustle bustle of India and crowded city of Mumbai.
I went to get a preview of Obama when he came to Mani bhavan but alas- after having walked a kilometer to the special place- was told that we could even enter the street going to Mani Bhavan. The people who stayed opposite Mani Bhavan also could not see him.
The news channels are flooded with news all about him - and the fact that he did not mention the 'P' word - as soon as he set foot in India. Our scriptwriter did not send Obama the right speech - so it is not his fault he faulted.
A meeting in Trident is coming up- lets see what is Obama's agenda to come to India- is it business, is it to bring 'world peace' or is it to see the land everyone talks about. Who knows- but we will wait to see - what says he!
