W. CHURCHILL
Churchill was a great statesman and political hero of United Kingdom. He became Prime minister during the reign of Queen Elizabeth-11 .But before taking the career of politician he was assigned as a journalist ,the beginning of writing career . He wrote novel and his autobiography. He loved music. The idea of gramophone company ' His Master Voice' with the logo of dog was his contribution.
He was a great painter also . Churchill embraced all the creativity to safeguard himself from depression. This softer corner of his character remained mostly unknown to many of us. His image has been focussed as a Great war loving diplomat .
He had great friendship with the then President Roosevelt of America.They used to talk in phone almost every morning at the time of breakfast. Involvement of America in the World war second was considered to be resulted out of mutual friendship between the two heads: Churchill and President Roosevelt.
Churchill was famous for taking pretty long time in the bathroom for shower. During this time he used to take all the emergency phone calls , give instructions to his secretary who used to take notes by standing outside the door of bathroom to read newspaper ; In short ,half of the morning job of office was being processed while he was in the bath tub, (in his birth-day suit), under shower.
There was a funny story. Once President Roosevelt came to London in Churchill's house for political issue during second World War Time. One day it happened , Roosevelt was so much excited to share some news with Churchill (. (during. the second world war ), that he rushed into his bathroom with news paper. Both became embarrassed ;
To cover up Churchill said "now you see, nothing remained SECRET between UK and America!!"
They often joked by Quoting this embarrassing moment.
Sometimes there were video-shows scheduled in the routine of Columbia university; Vidio of those who happened to be great leader in their. future life .Some more anecdotes about Churchill were referred.
Once Churchill was very much impressed with the acting of "Othello" played by an award winning artist .After the show Churchill congratulated the artist who invited him for dinner next day in a reputed restaurant .
While the star (I forget the name) was discussing with some Italian producer about the financial agreement in the lounge for his next film contact ,Churchill reached the restaurant. It was tough for the producer to accept the high demand of the star. As Churchill entered the lounge , he waved his hand with broad smile to the star from the doorway and the star also reciprocated. The producer immediately granted the wish of the star and assigned the agreement contact ; and departed joyfully.
The star said with excitement to Churchill that the producer was so much stunned to notice you waving hands to me from the entrance, that he signed my contact at once without wasting time ! He exclaimed gleefully, "You are my lucky tarot card!"
Churchill :"Really!"
'Then next time I will give you a 'hug' before signing a contact so that you can demand double than you deserved !"
They both began to laugh ,with foamy peg in hand.
