The intellectual, soon-to-be U.S. president Obama (whose visiting card, in India, would have said “O B.A., M.A.”) calls and our PM could not take the call because he was travelling. Vodafone he has!!! After 4 years as PM, he doesn’t even have roaming. What is he? A sub-prime minister? Anyway, Manmohan decides to rectify this and many other problems with his phone. He makes a call to customer service.
Tring tring.
Husky Female Voice : Thank you for calling Vodafone. If you want to continue in English press 1. Hindi mein jaankari ke liye 2 dabaeeye. Woof bow wow bark woof 3 bow-wow.
Manmohan presses 1.
HFV : If you are an existing subscriber press 1…(and so on and on and on)
After pressing more buttons than a liftman in the Empire State Building, Manmohan finally gets through to a customer service officer.
CSO (in the tone of a waiter in an Udipi restaurant rattling off the menu) : Thank-you-for-calling-Vodafone-this-is-Rakesh-here-how-may-I-help-you?
Manmohan Singh : Namaste. This is Manmohan Singh, the prime minister of India.
CSO : Yeah sure. And this is the dog from our TVC.
