Some Random Reactions..

Obama wins Nobel for peace. In words of nobelprize.org - “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”. Wondering What made Nobel committee found it very unique! I am so out of touch with this world…when did US buy Sweden and Norway??? Won't there be too many candidates if we give an award for good intentions alone? Nobels should be given for achievements not for passion.

The shame of Delhi: http://bit.ly/12pJXN Getting beaten up in the streets by the same police who are supposed to be our custodians. It’s about police brutality and the protectors of law taking law in their hands. This is also about being held in custody and then tortured without due process. What this is about is a democratic country where the beareucracy is so corrupt that it can get away with demeaning citizens (and visitors) in the country’s capital.

Novel Reading: "Banker to the Poor" by Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr Muhammad Yunus. If you take the speed of a horse, the majesty of a lion, the courage of a tiger and the elegance of a deer, in theory you might have a super animal,but in practice it might never get off the ground. All about how backward bangladesh is, poor, microcredit, grameen bank. An amazing piece on microfinance. My first try on Autobiography.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona..guys you will love it...its just basically not about sex all the time. Really brilliant chaos film.. great storyine...A dramedy where they all live unhappily ever after. A subtle theme handled beautifully...Loved it.. Lovely musical tracks too..

  1. Regarding Obama's nobel prize : hmm, I don't know. Every year they have to surely give nobel prize for some one, It may have been the reason that this time although obama would not have done much work as previous receivers of this award and still won it. Frankly speaking I can see the effort obama would have kept to become president, (the impact was more with only his little effort in peace process just being what he is there after)
