The President is Coming

It’s official. Barack Obama has entered the world of Mumbai society chatter. The President of the United States’ visit to the city is  a subject of conversation at every party and the rumours about it have now officially superseded the whispers about Mukesh Ambani’s cosy little 27-storeyed home, Antilla.

O bummer
