You see Barack Obama, the American president, walking towards you from the opposite direction. He walks straight up to you guys. Says hi to Pappu and chit chats with him for half an hour. You are lost and perplexed.What the heck just happened?Did Barack Obama talk to pappu?You are stunned and amazed. You ask Pappu ab out it and he brushes it aside. You guys continue walking and you meet the president of Germany. Even the German president talks to your friend Pappu for half an hour. You are shocked again.
