Whats the Fuss about ?
Frankly, i dont understand what the fuss is all about with Bush visiting India.
From what the TV Channels say, i gather he is here to possibly start talks on some kind of Nuclear Treaty, talk to a few Management Graduates from ISB and meet a few film-stars and politicians over lunch/dinner.
To add to the non-stop coverage by the TV Channels, the communists parties are holding a protest of their own against Bush's *conquest of* Iraq. I even heard they were protesting in the form of blogs ( Funny !!! Given the leftists are againsts proliferation of technology since it is an impediment to their vote banks of Trade Unions ).
Maybe the prospect of decisive policy-making by administrators of both countries is what excites the print and the telivision medium. Dont quite know if the Left parties think this could be a way of catching the nation's attention.
However, catching a glimpse of Bush on his arrival and watching him indulge in his regular histrionics - Waving to the Crowd or talking to Prime Minister, i wouldnt be too excited about the outcome of his visit.
I think Mr. and Mrs. Gates visit was more interesting for the sheer amount of money they pump into the country vis-a-vis their business interests ( Microsoft ) and philanthropic interest ( Melinda-Bill gates Foundation ).
