On his 44th birthday Rahul Gandhi has drawn up his bucket list which includes a plan to holiday in the Indian parliament. Rahul had toured the Parliament in the past, taking a short break from his otherwise punishing schedule. On his b’day Rahul reminisced about his trip to Sansad Marg where tourist-friendly locals rolled out the red carpet for him.
This birthday, Rahul Gandhi’s friends forced him to confront the fact that he had a mundane Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara type of lifestyle. He admitted that he was bored of his ghisi piti routine of travelling to exotic places. Beach hopping in Spain and pub hopping in London completely burned him out. Rahul decided that he needed to quit his 9 to 5 job of doing nothing.
Rahul Gandhi considered his options after quitting. He thought of starting his own family business but it struck him that he already had one. After deep introspection, Rahul decided that he would travel and explore the world of politics. He told his mother that he would to begin with the Indian Parliament…no questions asked!
