Sorry, Mr PM...

Today, in this hour of national crisis, my  deepest sympathy reaches out to our hodophilic  PM,  who, so accustomed to cruising around the world, is coerced to follow the rules of the lockdown, and stay confined, masked, and gloved in his home country. I wonder which natural remedy could be prescribed to ease the growing discomfort of his itchy feet. And, to make matters worse, imagine the disappointment, that the inevitable delay in delivering  the two new state-of-the-art B777-300ER, (equipped with anti-missile protection), specifically intended for Kovind-Naidu-Modi Trinity, is going to cause to our already disheartened PM. All because of Coronavirus!  Due in July of this year, at the cost of $1.2 billion (Rs 8,458 crore ),  it would have added yet another streak of glory, to Mr Modi's emerging image as the world leader. Or globe trotter... it's all the same really!

Did you know our honorable PM holds the record for having visited the maximum number of countries  in the post-independance prime ministerial history of India? In fact the amount he traveled in just five and a half years of his tenure, the former Prime minister Manmohan Singh could not equal it in ten years, nor could Indira Gandhi, in fifteen. 

I think he should make the most of this lockdown by penning down a travelogue, chronicling his voyages, and his many encounters with the big guns of the industry. He could call it The Travel Warrior! It is bound to receive more success than his previous effort at writing, "The Exam Warrior". For, this is something he can actually relate to,  first hand.
