Remember the quiet feeling of accomplishment you get when you successfully manage to find a parking spot on a weekend night outside a popular restaurant? Well, if you go by the Times of India, even our greatest leaders share similar sentiments when it comes to parking their...err...planes.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at the Antalya Airport in Turkey to take part in the G20 summit, an annual event serving as a forum for leaders from 20 countries to discuss policy-level issues. As luck would have it, the Air India One that carried him there found a parking spot near the United States of America President Barack Obama's very own Air Force One.
Though it was not clear at once what exactly the newspaper was trying to imply with that story, some Twitterati believed that they had cracked the code.
But, of course, someone had to inevitably spoil the fun.
