Everyone needs some time off from work. What’s the big deal? 

But when it’s Rahul Gandhi taking leave, that too on the day the budget session of Parliament has begun, it raises eyebrows. The Congress Vice-President has gone a long break, “to reflect on recent events and future course of the party”. His leave has been approved by his manager in the Congress party, Sonia Gandhi his mother. 

It turned out that Rahul Gandhi’s break was just what the Twittarati needed after the Oscar awards vacuum.
