"Let me…" Deputy got up and grabbed the bottle from PM Podi.
Anand quickly got up and brought three glasses from side cupboard. Anand poured wine and presented a glass to PM Podi like a servant.
PM Podi sat in his chair; both followed.
"I would like to raise a toast" Deputy got up.
PM Podi signaled his approval arrogantly with just blinking of his eyes.
"To the greatest God…" Ahuja screamed as they clinked their glasses and took a sip of wine.
PM Podi laughed as his eyes twinkled with pride.
Ahuja turned around and looked at Anand like he was saying 'I won'.
Today, PM Podi had addressed the nation and, in his speech, he had announced that India will be launching their first mission to space next year, leaving behind all other countries; A very first victory for an underdog nation.
