A phone call to the President

Atul: ‘Mr. President, please, before you go (to meet Russian president at his residence)...
President: 'But I must go, Atul!'

Atul: 'I was saying that you don't need to wait for Minister of Defence to brief you about the situation later. I suggest that you handle this matter the Mandela way.’
President: 'What do you mean?'

Atul: 'Of course Minister of Defence will still get involved but...'
President: (he is exasperated and whispering) 'But what?'

Atul: ‘Mr. President I do not really know who is in charge of the country in your convenient absence, seeing that I have been busy lately pulling Lesotho out of its economic cesspool, you know what I mean.’
President: ‘Atul, I really must go… (Russians don't like cellphones at Putin's gates) what do you want me to do?’

Atul: ‘I’m saying that if you can give the reigns to Shenge right now – something which I can facilitate very fast - I promise you that this senseless mutiny happening in Lesotho will be over before President Putin’s wife has handed you a bowl of desert.’
President: ‘Atul, leave me to run my country.’
Atul: ‘What I’m saying Mr. President is; help me to run Lesotho.’

[President ends the call]
