In awe, in Vegas
THE WEEK India|January 15, 2023
It was late October, 1994. I was at a Cuban restaurant in an open mall off Tropicana Avenue in Las Vegas. I looked up from my conversation and noticed other customers becoming excited almost one by one and suddenly rushing to surround someone I could not see. The restaurant was not full, it was not dinnertime, but there was definitely something going on. Everyone else had stopped eating.

In awe, in Vegas

That was unusual. In Las Vegas, people are used to seeing celebrities in stores and restaurants, and they hardly ever react because it is understood that when they are off the city’s famed entertainment Strip, they are private people. Besides, stoic respect is the American norm in such situations.

But then came something that never happened in Las Vegas and seldom in America. The cooks and kitchen personnel ran by, having lost their senses and weak at their knees, rushing to stand there and stare at a person who had just walked in.

From Sunak to Badenoch

The face of modern Britain keeps changing. Last time, the Tory prime minister of Great Britain had an Indian face. Now, the Tory party leader has a Nigerian face. Kemi Badenoch, 44, is the new leader of the Conservative Party, which Rishi Sunak led to its worst defeat in British parliamentary history. A spectacular blow by a descendant of a former colony on Winston Churchill’s party.
