So, the man who claims to be a “master communicator” and gives endless monologues without a sheet of paper… managed to read Mrs. as M-R-S in front of an entire nation (and Sri Lanka). Let’s break it down.
1. The Great Decoding: From english to Modish
Normal humans: Mrs. Sirisena.
Bal Narendra: M-R-S Sirisena.
Somewhere, english teachers across india collectively fainted.
2. Teleprompters Don’t Teach Grammar
Sure, leaders worldwide use teleprompters. Obama, Biden, and even manmohan Singh.
But here’s the catch: they actually know what the words mean. Modi, on the other hand, treats it like a spelling bee audition.
3. When Degrees Hide, Goofs Multiply
Dr. manmohan singh flaunted 20+ degrees without breaking a sweat. Modi? He hides his degrees so carefully that even Sherlock Holmes would retire searching for them.
Now we know why—basic english might be missing from the syllabus.
4. Diplomacy with a Side of Comedy
Imagine the Sri Lankan delegation. They came for bilateral talks and instead got a free stand-up act. “M-R-S Sirisena”—instant icebreaker or international embarrassment? You decide.
5. From Scholar to Showman
india once had a prime minister who quoted Adam Smith and Keynes. Now we have one who struggles with “Mrs.” If that isn’t the fall of India’s politics, what is?
👉 Moral of the story? Forget degrees. At this point, a crash course in 4th-grade english might do wonders.
