President George Bush and a young bride Sushmita are not connected even remotely but the most powerful man on the globe seems to have robbed some shine of her marriage. The bride in question is the daughter of Telugu film icon Chiranjeevi.

Several film personalities from Bollywood could not make it to the marriage on Thursday night at the Hitex Grounds reportedly due to the non-availability of hotel rooms in the city as all top hotels were booked for the American security personnel, officials and the accompanying media. The entire ITC Kakatiya Sheraton was booked for Mr. Bush while his security personnel took over Fortune Katriya.

Who says only the common man suffers during such visits.

Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....

"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our
vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the
starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my
children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India
who would make you starve, if you don't.'"
