 MORARJI
DESAI was the Prime Minister in 1979. He was leading the Janata Party
Government. It was during a Press conference that I had an opportunity
to draw him. It was just a picture of him bending towards the table.
As I approached him for his autograph on it, he got annoyed and
refused. He told me, "I never bend," and asked me to make
him look erect and bring the sketch to him at his residence. I felt
that I should not displease him. I made another attempt to draw him
straight and erect and went to his place to seek his signature on the
sketch.
When he looked at the
picture, he was much pleased to see his erect portrayal and beamed at me
before I left his residence.
