Ms Pratibha Patil - Flop Show

Ms Pratibha Patil's first foreign trip as President of India - turns out a damp squib. Not Surprising many would say - Parliamentarians around the world do a background check perhaps on visiting dignitaries - and decide to play accordingly!

The Brazilian Parlimentarians did not find it worthwhile to attend Parliament when she went to address them. Hardly 15 turned up from a total strength of 90+. And her speech at Mexican Parlimant? Well that was cancelled after some MPs walked out over some local issue. No it did not end there, she also forgot to salute Indian Mexican flags during the guard of honor parade.

How we miss Abdul Kalam! He is apparently in great demand around the world - and is a regular invitee at conferences where hundreds turn up to listen to him.
