For rain.... John Kerry jokes at IIT on Delhi: "You must have needed boats"
Imagine flood situation at Delhi......!!
If hell exists on Earth, it's Delhi: Why John Kerry's boat remark after rains is justified
Gar jahannam, ruhe zamin ast, hami asto, hamin asto, hamin ast.
John Kerry's visit to Delhi is ending the way it started: in a traffic jam, praying for a boat, living a nightmare in a jahannam (hell) called Delhi.
On Monday, on his way to a hotel from the airport, the US secretary of State was stuck for almost an hour in traffic due to waterlogged roads. On Wednesday, his address to students of IIT-Delhi was delayed by an hour because of an early morning deluge.
"I don't know how you all got here, you must have needed boats to get here," he said.
The US Secretary of State also had to cancel his scheduled trip to three religious sites in the capital after it rained ferociously on Wednesday morning, according to The Times of India.
He must have been wondering if instead of a strategic alliance with India for use of the country's airbases, the US might have been better off striking a deal for allowing visiting dignitaries to use submarines for navigating through Delhi.
Mughal emperor Jahangir once claimed if paradise exists on Earth, it has to be Kashmir. Had he lived long enough, or born in a different age, he would have argued that if hell existed on Earth, hami asto, hami asto (here) in Delhi.
