The VIP culture in India: 2
I woke up at 5:30 a.m. and quickly brushed and had a bath. It was a big day today. My software for Airoli Check Naka toll booth was going to be inaugurated by few M.P.s and M.L.A.s (Wont name the ministers or the party). The car which was supposed to pick me up was right on time. We all were asked to be present near the toll booth by 7. I didn't care much about the ministers or the press just didn't want to miss the opening of one of my big projects. I arrived just before 7 and heaved a sigh. Soon enough the police and security personnel came for protection of all the politicians. Well minutes turned into hours and it was 2 in the afternoon and nobody had arrived yet. It was quite frustrating and it was a hot day. Everyone was perspiring a lot. I was so hungry that I didn't bother if I would actually miss out on the whole inauguration ceremony. I went to the nearby hawker. I bought a cup of tea and missal and a vada pav. Okay ...no surprises I went for a repeat order,...
