Capturing the Russian Prez

Capturing the Russian Prez was so easy for us. Infact we captured him over lunch. But it was much more difficult for the press who ran throughout the campus to film him. We were having lunch on the first floor of FoodCourtOne and Keyur had carried a camcorder just in case we came across Putin. We had finished more than half when we saw the media people running from the corporate building. Keyur took out his cam from the case and we were all ready to shoot, when to our disappointment we saw a cavalcade a 100 metres away from us. Limousines with tinted glasses and we thought we had missed Putin. Infact, I saw some guy sitting in the limo whom I thought was Putin. And thats when we started lunching again. Keyur joked that cavalcade had gone but the Prez will fool everyone by walking through the campus. And yes!!!!. The Prez fooled us. There he was with his strong contingent of about 30-35 people. Wearing a grey coloured suit and looking smart as usual. With Murthy guiding him, the Prez was looking impressed by the campus. Later in a press release he said that he couldnt beleive that people can work in such a beautiful campus. But now it was turn of our man to capture him. Keyur was filming Putin and the rest of our group which included Lech and Kashyap and a few others time shared between looking at Putin , Anna Kournikovas,the KGB people and Keyur's forehead(to ensure that there is no laser pointed there). So we had had him. And we were happy about that till Keyur disclosed his doubts. He asked us which one of the contingent was Putin and later said that he had noticed no one in a grey suit. Later we discovered that Keyur had got less of Putin and more of his bodyguards.
