Why is Obama Good for the World

Imagine when you were a kid.....running around the folks of your family in the backyard of your home.

Now imagine this: Everybody in your family was white except you. You were black!

Obama had a unique problem.

Being black in America is very different from being black anywhere else. It has very different connotation and an overwhelming load of baggage associated with it. The best way for any black kid to deal with it is to have a cushion of black family which can completely absorb and distill his or her apprehensions about society.

Obama never had this luxury. He never really understood why things were the way they were.

All he could do was play basketball and smoke pot to appear as tough as any other black kid.

Fortunately or Unfortunately, he wasn't really good with the ball or pot or the girls.

Later in his life, he travelled to Kenya to discover his own roots. Reminds me so much of the epic stories of Abdul Kalam traveling to meet a Monk to understand why he could not become a pilot and Steve Jobs hiking across Himalayas with a dollar in pocket to discover the purpose of life. Somehow, great minds think alike and i wonder how!

Great leaders are born when extraordinary self inquiry results in a mental framework where they finally realign the inner self with the outer. Most of the times, it is a great thing to do.

So, Obama was born and the whole world is now waiting to see what does it really mean for the planet.

Whites in Texas, Blacks in New York, Africans in Kenya and Mullahs in Afghanistan may have a thing or more to worry less about. Hillary and McCain have everything to worry about.

Hopefully, this relief will last for more than a single term of US presidency.

Harvard Law is surely an interesting program. I Like.

A long turn

At the end of the tunnel
Distant from the far
The page turned

A squirrel walked up

It said:
"How are you?
"Want some tea?"

I replied
"Why not?"
"It smells good here already!"

Surface

Much awaited Surface was recently launched at AT&T stores. One of the few microsoft products which may make life a little easy.

But, now it is almost proverbial that Microsoft stands for unreliability. Surface can very well turn out to be an ugly face! If you are a regular user of office 2007, you know what i mean.

The worst thing that can happen is at a Vegas poker table. Imagine the system going down right on the brink of you winning a million dollar pot!!

You can run but cannot hide from Microsoft.

We need more of you Google. You ain't doing enough.

Not Yet.

Harold, Kumar and Global Food Crisis!

George Bush finally nailed it last week. He now has an answer to the conundrum of raising food prices. It is the dark, thin Indians who are causing the mess! All this outsourcing and other diseases have put enough money into their pockets. Voila!

As Indians eat more rasgullahs and jilebis , the fat fagots in Texas need to shell out a few extra dollars for a bag of rice. Is it a case of shortage? No! It is just plain increase in prices.







Harold and Kumar know better. They smoked pot with the master. Kumar also knows the burden of having to live up to the legacy of a father, successful or not.

All that pot blinds ones eyes to the ethanol being grown on rice fields.

Or may be, it is the burgers of white castle who are the real culprits.
