"Nobel" President...

3 out of 16 (mile)stones that I have invested on to fill my "pot of thoughts" are on Obama himself and that is rather on the higher side .To be frank I am very curious to dig around and spew my saliva out to know "why am I so obsessed about Obama?" and I am sure this same query is haunting in everybody's genius.I infer, its just that mass appeal and the charisma he gestates on all of us.He is a true living illustration for "Love him or hate him but you can never,ever ignore him" and that is what happened with the"Nobel(noble) fiasco" today.

The Nobel Prize Foundation,Oslo today literally stupefied and flabbergasted us all by "NOBLY" gifting Barak Obama with a "NOBEL" peace prize. A "President" who is yet to accomplish his annum at White house getting an award of this aura makes even a nescient of the contemporary world to raise his super-cilia in surprise.

Let us appraise Obama for these 4 quarters in bits.

1. World is not yet mended out of recession and is still ceding back.So the "extra-ordinary" promise made in Capitol Hills on Jan 20th seems like just another "ordinary" Indian-neta's kind of surety. Even if he claims to have brought economy under recovery, its courtesy: strong Asian markets and to some extent Euro markets but definitely not US Inc.

2.The US marines in Iraq are still stagnant there with goose eggs in hands.Had he in case retreated the marines from Iraq and Afghan, may be that would have nominated him for the award.So even here the conception of nomination goes wrong.

3.Iran and North Korea's atomic enrichment theme is still under scrutiny and even here, Obama administration has flunked critically to make peace with these two nations uptil now.


Then what fetched him the nimbus of " Nobel"?

As I previously said, its just the halo around the name that did the job. Its "The Obama-phenomenon" that won him the fete and not for "Obama" as a person.I feel sad and concerned to see such a prestigious award being victimized by a homo's charisma.
Finally at terminus, I bid atleast this fete should incite him to act towards world peace and prosperity .Let the gloriole of the person help world to be a better place to cherish and invest on.

BANGALORE-a new show stopper.!

In the midst of all the election melodrama and news feeding in from all our ailing traumatic neighbors , "Namma Bengalooru" too dealt with its own share of limelight from none other than President Obama himself!

Obama's address did Brand Bangalore great deal of justice when he opted to equate Bangalore in India and Buffalo in NY. Brand Bangalore, which until the previous dawn was possibly known to just a billion-plus people,today is known to a billion more than that. Probably Search engines like Google found it rather knotty to manage the influx of the keyword "Bangalore" and the searches may have touched new acmes already!:P Bangalore on the other hand has altered on a day-by-day basis.From being a lazy,laid down city for the retirees and old-age elites where everything died down after the twilight, everything now seems to awake everybody out there as the sun dawns in the US.

Bangalore today pockets a big chunk of the overall IT grocery and IT services exports revenue.A huge clump of the most tech-savvy men in India and a whole bunch of intellects make their living here.Recession,meltdown or boom, Bangalore is just taking colossal leaps in full throttle. A summer is by our sight where our ear drums will be filled with metaphors like "Bangalore of the West" ," Bangalore of Europe", etcetera ;) From a brand standpoint,what Obama has helped for Brand Bangalore is a great piece of marketing,publicizing and selling, all amalgamated in a single cloth! Thank you Mr President.

Fun aside,Does Obama's address meant every company that drove out from the US in the name of outsourcing and grace to India and elsewhere were just willful tax-evaders? Nothing else, no other purpose? What does his speech meant for all the BPO workers worldwide? That's a long debate which moves on with a clock. Best left for another occasion...

From Hawaii to White House..

"He came he saw and he conquered...", long before Barack Obama's ancestors were making rounds somewhere in central Africa for a piece of raw flesh, one good guy addressed this line to Alexander the great. History repeats itself and its very much true.

Today is a day to cherish, a day which will mark the beginning of an era in the history books all over the world. One of the best and the voracious speakers ever to be heard in the history gave his inaugural inspirational speech as a President of the United States in Capitol hills,Washington DC as the world watched it live streaming with their mouths open and hearts asking for hope.A man seen as a savior like Lincoln ,an administrator like Roosevelt,a charismatic personality like the great Kennedy, Barack Hussain Obama, a humble but a tough man from Illinois, born to a Kenyan father and a white mother took pledge to save this world from the crisis it is in. The phrases of 'Change', 'Yes he can', 'Hope' reverberated over the Lincoln memorial to the banks of Potomac river.But can he actually deliver what he has assured this world off, only a clock can answer.

From an Indian perspective, being an Young Indian, I would like to see the Obama Phenomenon hit India.I don't want my hard earned penny paid as a tax to be wasted (I don't own a Pan card yet,oops i am not even an employee:P)to a useless PM like Dr.Manmohan Singh who cant even deliver his own speech and whose vocal chord is weaker than Tendulkar himself! I don't want an 80 year old man like Advani who is generations behind us and speaks as if he has a pain in his ass(with apologies).I neither want the corrupt and galeeju slum(as I put it in our local tapori way) Mayawati nor Sonia as my ruler too. Hoping against hope that even we can have the desi Obama avatar soon cos even we need a 'Change...'.
