We are right now watching the Republic day parade on DD. This is probably the only time in a year we tune to DD National. Dr. A was explaining to little A about all the helicopters and tankers and as Prathiba Patel came in focus, he said,"This paati is our President". Little A just gave him a grin - the look that probably said, "i know better than you" or even "you are teaching me all the wrong things". He just ran across the couch and picked up the TOI of 21st Jan that i had left on the computer table and comes back with, "Inda uncle daan ipo President" (this uncle is now the President) all of his little fingers on Obama's pic! Dr. A tried to elaborate saying, this lady is the president of India and Obama uncle is for ths US... all of this was OHT to the little one and he quickly changed the topic, "hey, look camels and horses"
Looks like Obama is the universal President for now. I don't think any President ever has grabbed a strong place on a 2.5 yr old toddler's mind or may be it is just the effect of 'Obama talk' all around him and who so ever we meet.

atleast he has the sense not to accept her as president
ReplyDeleteSatya - its more to do with the fact that there's nothing great or historical about our President to talk about and so its his ignorance of her existence :-)
