OOPS ! CHACHA NEHRU COULD NOT HUG HIM !

This is a story of bad luck of my bossom friend , who missed the chance of being hugged by chacha Nehru, in his childhood. MANIK ( nick name ) is my friend. Long ago his father, a medical officer, now deceased, told this sad story. Once CHACHA NEHRU was to visit Patna. Two months before his arrival a group of six children, having elite background, were selected for his reception at front line during ovational ceremony at airport. Manik was one of them. He was kept under medicare of a huge team of expertise doctors. The auspicious day came. As per schedule, all the children, selected therefor, were awaiting CHACHA at PATNA AIRPORT. NEHRUJEE came and leaped forward to hug my friend, but suddenly Manik sneezed , out of chill blow of wind. CHACHA stopped and changed his idea. He hugged an another child. This was a great tragedy of my friend. Not only he but several children missed that opportunity, including a number of slum children, who were kept outside of airport at a far distance from their favourite and beloved CHACHA NEHRU. Even they could not have a chance to see how CHACHA NEHRU was looking face to face.
