When namo visited the valley elite a few days ago I wonder what gift exchanges took place. I remember watching old DD news where state dignitaries visiting Indira always handed her some ridiculous sword or hand held weapon along with a basket of fruit or flowers, book of texts, garish garment, or other white elephants as a sign of cordial relations.
They in turn received equal part metal scraps and heavy unwieldy objects to lug back home. No wonder they needed a bus full of servants schlepping along.
If we imagine the forward looking Modi and Tim Cook meeting one wonders if Tim presented any heart rate and interest rate monitoring watch, which was so next gen it was still in beta. It made 99.99 % accuracy prediction of what the rates would be 'tomorrow' with a direct link to major news outlet in case of any incident. When someone alleged that Modi was a heartless crook he could check the heart rate for the next day to see if there was any merit to such pronouncements. He could also suggest Rajan of the RBI what he thought he was going to do.
Modi on the other hand could have gifted the entire Bhagwad Gita on a thin paper scroll - so thin that Tim had to buy a new scanning electron microscope to make out what the heck was written on it. Embedded in page 78 Tim found an entire manual that Arjuna used to repair Krishna's 500 hp motor in the middle of a war using only horse urine and straw. Some of the chants in pages 97 and 111 were also coded in a futuristic language based on Sanskrit that talked of sleek designs so sleek that he had no choice but to fire Jony Ive back to London and instead hire a top notch Sanskrit translator.
Modi did not realize though that the CIA had also planted a camera in the watch that recorded his daily activity and therefore had a secret dossier on him. Modi though smarter than the CIA had immediately switched the watch to his body double who appeared to be perpetually traveling whilst the real Modi took naps at home.
One day the double collapsed and CNN broke the news, a day early.
