Why bloging?
Episode 1:
Alt tab…………alt tab……… that’s the only thing I do after a catnap, in my post-lunch session. I got dumbstruck as my screen flashed “Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize”. Last few days debates where going round my bay as Nobel awards being announced one by one each day after the other.
But why? My colleague cried out with out making sure that his headphones were not off from his head, all turned to him. At last I digested this with a logic, Alfred Noble, who invented TNT a sort of first explosive and along with his father Immanuel Nobel who made great innovations in navel mines at Crimean war had great crush for weapons and its related innovations. They would be happy to make the point that the president of a nation having the greatest on house store of armory is truly deserved to get a Nobel price.
That night I discussed this with my roomie, he found this logic rather funny and made a post in twitter; the post received various comments including a comment telling “Alfred Nobel invented dynamite not TNT”. But the point I try to make is web2.0 is a rather serious medium for sharing thoughts.
I praise Nobel committee and Obama for the comments:
The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised Obama for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," citing his fledgling push for nuclear disarmament and his outreach to the Muslim world.
Describing himself as surprised and deeply humbled, Obama said he would accept the award as a "call to action”,” I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments but rather an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations,"
Episode 2:
Twitter must be very thankful for Shashi Tharoor, congress spokesmen and the Indian media for these “cattle class issues”. It did a great marketing for twitter and its reach was up to the most common man of the society.
On his page on Twitter, Tharoor was asked: “Tell us minister, next time you travel to Kerala, will it be cattle class?”
His reply: “Absolutely, in cattle class out of solidarity with all our holy cows.”
