Obsessive

Its Saturday evening and all news channels in India are tuned into the American presidential speech, a speech that reminds me of your typical corporate 'go get 'em!' pitch aimed at motivating teams for reasons a-many. The obsession over his visit has remained for the last 3 days - and it makes me so mad that my skin crawls. Fair enough, there's relationship building, progress reports on India America ties, but the way we seem to fawn over his every word, applaud when he says this is the longest time he's spent in any country other than his, giggles around at his mention of American-made Harley Davidson bikes, its all just a tad OTT if you asked.
