A few weeks ago, the entire town of Kodaikanal was in a sort of disarray. Why exactly? Well, Stalin was coming to town! Stalin, the current PM of Tamil Nadu, was coming to our little haven to conduct the grand opening ceremony of the new bus station. Quickly, in order to receive his presence, hundreds of posters, billboards, and road barriers filled with photos of the great man himself were couriered up the mountain. They were hung, strung, and drilled into, around, and all over the main road in town. A new line was even painted down the middle of the road leading right up to the bus station. Right after the bus station however, the rest of the main road looked very sad as there were no shiny posters of Stalin on a horse, nor was there a white line down the middle of the road. He came and went in one hour time while everyone was cheering in their Sunday’s best. Today, all that is left is holes in the road were the banners once flew, an opened bus station, and a bright white line painted halfway down the road.
Oh yes, his 70' legacy also remains...
