Interesting.. :).. I had never made these observations. I guess a part of it is cultural as well.

But it definitely would be amazing to incorporate the best of both. I mean doing our own work as Gandhi said and probably not chewing gum also cos it most usually is considered pretty rude. But again that might be very cultural as well. I’m not exactly sure on that..

Hi Sindhoo, I’m not demeaning anyone, just trying to say that we Indians need to understand that such small gestures matter a lot. And I’m not either praising blindly the US President. My country always comes first, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t speak good about others. :-) As far as I know, Obama was chewing ‘nicotine gum.’

Dear Maniparna, have you seen Modi chewing gum during any official ceremonies? I think, we needn’t put someone down in order to show someone’s greatness. No one can be perfect but, everyone has something worthy to be inspired.
