Big leap from Rae Bareli to Rome


LUCKNOW: Fifteen-year-old Narendra Kumar looked highly excited while scanning the
check list. The passport, visa and tickets for the foreign trip were in perfect order. His wardrobe was complete and so was the 10-day crash course in
spoken English from a little coaching kiosk back in his home town, Rae Bareli. He had
already said goodbye to friends and family, left behind in Pure Gosai, a small hamlet in the
VVIP constituency.
Now, within a couple of hours “Narendra Kumar, son of Ram Bahadur, a labourer, and
Jagpata Devi, a housewife, one among nine siblings” (his opening lines at the coming J-8
summit in Rome) was about to make history by being the first in the village or even the
district to fly to Sonia Gandhi’s birth place.
