Mikhail Gorbachev
During his short stay in Delhi he visited some of the historical places and mingled with the crowd who were eager to see him. It was during this time, that I chanced to meet him with the help of the departments of security and protocol. I had met a picture of him and I was eager to procure his signature on it. As I approached him, his security guard would not let me go near him. However, it was made possible with the help of our officials who were conducting him from place to place. He had a glance at the
picture when I showed it to him. He laughed and showed keen interest in
it and immediately responded to my request of signing the sketch. |
