Presidential Visit

The humble town was very much flattered with the presidential visit.
Day 1 everyone was at the heights of excitement. People from far off places came and stood by the roads to have a glance of the honorable president. And that was the only topice being discussed.
The roads were all blocked one hour prior to her cruising through the said route and we were very honored to have a policeman by our gate.. And with 100 meters from our gate too!!!!!!

People like my amma, did postpond boiling milk for the evening tea so that it wont clash with the presidential timings. She took post at our gate with hundreds of people from the appartament opposite to ours. Her loving husband, my appa did call and inform her that the president had indeed passed by his office and she was sitting on the left side of the car. He didnt want his wife to miss seeing her. And the TATA Safari carrying her whisked past the waiting audiene with just a flash of her cream sari. But all was satisfied...Amm even took pity at the policeman who was sentried at our gate and fed him coffee!!!!!!!No, this is no lone story... We Keralities are really patriotic..

Day 2, when the newspapers announced the timings for the roads to be blocked , we Kottayamites rolled our eyes and said "Even Today???".. The crowd grew thin and amma did boil the milk on time for tea..

TOday is Day 3 and when the drama continues we are groaning and asking very politely, "When is the President going back to Delhi??"..

It is very much ok with people who can work around her timings. LIke go to the bank before she leaves for Place A and then get back home before the roads are blocked for her departure. Then take off for the market and get back home before she lands back from Place A. But then what about a poor lady who suddenly decided to deliver her baby?? God help her after the de routes she has to take...

And today i have to leave for the railway station 2 hours before the scheduled departure of the train.. Ask me why?? The president is landing for her lunch at that time and the roads are blocked... The said railway station is 7 minutes from my home.. Thank you very much..
Very Democratic country.. Oh, what do they say???? Of the people, Bt the people and For the People.. Very true, indeed....

And ask me why i am going to the railway station???? I am going to Tcr coz the husband is coming tomorrow..!!!!!!! I bet his intention of this sweet sweet gesture is to make me guilty for all the nagging and the fights and the crankiness.. :) :) :)
