My meeting with Amrtya Sen...

So I finally met Amartya Sen today. Who Amartya Sen??? C'mon.... well I do not know all the nobel prize winners of this world (neither do I care much); but Amartya!! He's the only alive Indian Nobel prize winner (I know that we don't care about Nobel Prize much since some President won it for doing nothing but just trying!!) & also is Bharat Ratna. He's also father of Nandna Sen (she's really pretty, sweet &...), if you care!! The meeting was short & sweet; he's a very busy guy ofcourse. I went with my dad for the meeting at his office in Harvard University. He asked me about my career & life and talked nicely about all other stuff. You know, he loves mangoes, that's one secret I found out!! Honestly, I don't care about seeing celebrities much (seriously I don't, I guess.. unless I get to see them!!). I never run behind them to get an autograph or get a photograph taken. I mean what good does a autograph do or what memory is a mere photo (unless you get to sell them & make good money... can you imagine, people are dumb enough to pay for that!!). I would always like to meet such great people though, where I can spend some time with them & talk to them & learn from them & appreciate & admire them (yeah, like thats all they have been waiting for... my appreciation & admiration!!). This was one such meeting & I really enjoyed it. Great wishes from all of us, for all you have done... Thanks Amartya!!

Obama got Nobel Prize.... Really?? Seriously??

So... the news is that Mr Barrack Hussein Obama got the Nobel Prize for Peace (or watever). I mean... really?? seriously?? You know, I was kinda excited & happy when he became the President of USA, the 1st non-white (or African American) to be US President. Why was I happy?? I seriously have no idea. I mean... how does it affects me? I am not an American (not yet, lol!!), I am not of African descent, I am not even related to him in any way (except that I am non-white too or I would like to be a President too someday, that would be coooool!!). I had even added him on my myspace page, even before he became president. Even when I had no right to vote in USA, I was promoting him. I think we all have that humane side to us, the side of guilty conscious which makes us do many things we don't understand. I mean... it's always exciting to see an underdog go & win; to see a poor making money in a game show; or see a handicapped person dancing or competing in sports. I know... none of this is related to Obama because he was actually never unfortunate or anything I guess. But something different (or as they call it, historical) was happening & we were witness to that. & many of us appreciated it & liked it & enjoyed it!!

So finally he became president... & what has he done? 1st thing, how long has he been president? (wait, let me check wikipedia... yeah, less than 9 months). What could he do in such short time? Nothing significant I think. Well, I think he hasn't done anything significant anyways. Or maybe I missed something? Did he bring a lawful publicly elected government in Iraq or Afghanistan? Did he catch Obama & eliminated Terrorism? Did he resolve the international economic crisis & recession? Or did he discover life on another planet in universe? Whatever he did... I didn't hear any of it. Except lots of criticism on Daily Show & Colbert Report (yeah, that's where all my news comes from!!). But he has been awarded Nobel price for Peace (is it seriously PEACE or is it PIECE or PEES maybe). I am happy too... why?? Hmmm, it means that you really do not have to do much to get a nobel prize (which eventually increase my chances of winning a nobel prize so much!! Or else, the value of nobel prize would be so diminished that I wouldn't care about wining one!!).

However, I still do not hate Obama or anything. He's a fine guy who's done a good job to become what he has become and is (hopefully) working hard to do more good things & a great job. It's not easy being US president. You either end up caught weird relationships with your female staff or you end up bombing & invading other countries. He's still doing okay, isn't he? Ohh.. it hasn't been long enough to tell. Well, the Nobel committee thinks that he has done good enough to win a Nobel. Are you even listening?? But yeah, I do not hate Obama & wish him Good Luck. I really hope that he lives up to people's expectations & even crosses them and does a great job.

Anyways... I have not been writing for a LONG time (I know you were waiting, as always...lol!!). There is a lot to catch up & I'll try to put up old entries of my New York trip, visiting Ha Comedy Club and story of getting a Canadian visitor visa. Thanks for visiting and keep reading & enjoying (and commenting, c'mon people!!). This is RAHUL saying, Good Bye & Good Luck!!
