That Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has a lot on his plate is an understatement. From reviving the economy to delivering on various flagship programmes and kickstarting some of the ambitious poll promises, a normal day is anything but full for the workaholic that he is. Little wonder that at a recent function on literacy day Manmohan Singh seemed to be momentarily lost in thought.
As proceedings got under way, a young woman came up to the dais to present him a bouquet but for some strange reason he had not noticed her presence. It required a gentle prod from Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal to remind him of the woman’s presence.
The prime minister immediately got up to receive the flowers. But after the programme, word spread that the prime minister was overworked.
