He has become known as a globetrotter within the short period that he has come to power. He had visited most of the big and medium countries and even a few small ones and he wanted to keep up the momentum. He wanted to find out which country he could visit now.
It should be a totally new one where no leader had ever gone earlier.
He reached for the intercom and pressed a button.
A female voice responded.
‘Sue-ji, I want you in my office,’ Moody told her and cut off.
Within the minute, Sue-ji arrived. Her actual name was Sue Sharma. She pushed the door, entered and stood waiting for the next instruction. She was a bit bulky, dressed in the traditional sari, had a large oversize red mark on her forehead and gave an impression that she did not know how to suppress her grin.
‘I am looking for my next destination,’ Moody stood in front of the globe and mumbled.
‘In which hemisphere?’ Sue Sharma asked.
‘You know my logic – it has to be a country where no leader has gone so far,’ Moody said.
‘I will put my team on the work,’ Sue Sharma said.
‘And, remember to locate a kid from that place. A kid who was lost and, by chance, came in contact with me. I will take him with me when I go to visit his country of origin and hand him over to his parents.’
‘If such a kid cannot be found?’
‘Then manufacture one.’
Sue Sharma smiled – she knew Moody’s methods. Return of a lost child to its parents is one of the best ways to cement friendship with another country.
Moody loved these visits. They helped him to spread all sorts of messages and give a boost to his awareness programs back home. And, these also gave him an opportunity to see from a distance how his team worked and how efficiently.
Of course, he also had people in the background, people who kept a watch on him from a distance. Moody had to come up to their expectations. Come to think of it, these foreign visits helped to release his tensions. (to be continued …)
