Obama In Mumbai
An Experience To Remember
An Experience To Remember
I was asked by our principal of St. Andrews College, Dr.
Marie Fernandes, if I’d like to go for a talk by President Obama. I replied, “Yes,
of course.”
Even though I am not a great follower of him, I knew I was
about to meet the most powerful man in the world, and that was enough to keep
me excited. I felt lucky when I learnt that I along with 9 other students from
St. Andrews college were among the fortunate 300 students from six colleges
across the city who were about to attend the Town Hall meeting with Mr. Barack
Obama. Calls from officials at mid night for verification, trips to police
station, submission of various identity proofs and all the gruelling security
procedures we went through almost a week before the Town Hall event.
