Obama Under An Umbrella

The media is excited to see Obama with an umbrella, in China.
This posture has won Obama many fans.
I was amused to read the excess media attention to this trivial issue.
It is but natural to use the umbrella when it is raining.
Everyone did, does and will do when they have to move out in rain.
Obama is no exception.
He will not want himself to get wet.
He would not wish to catch cold.
He would have been advised by his mother or grandmother, as it was his granny who brought him up, to use the umbrella during rain, lest he would fall sick.


Obama had unfolded the umbrella , and held it above his head in China, all by himself,when there was a bout of rain.
The chinese got the shock of their life , when they saw him uholding the rain protector,without help.
What a feat!
What an achievement!
An impossibility is it!

Chinese Premieres and those in high offices, have ghost writers, have speech writers, have a long retinue of aids and helpers.
Obama too has all these in great numbers.
He too has umpteen speech writers, hundreds of advisors, fifties of groomsmen,forties of attendants to take care of his wants, twenties of chefs to provide him the best of meals, and tens of close personal tenderers to supervise his routine.

Yet , he held the umbrella over his head ,without help.
This simple gesture has triggered media attention, and won many a heart.
Obama has been knighted as a chivalrous hero overnight.

The virtuousity and honour he extended by his umbrella posture are dazzling.
Strange are the ways of human.
