OBAMA!!!

Back from a long hiatus....
work, laziness or anything else i don't know and can't comprehend...but still i am back.

Stranger things have happened these days. but none stranger than "the skinny guy with a funny name", whose journey has inspired one and all and continues to take people into a sort of dream people desperately need in these hard times.

The one thing that sets apart the Yankee from the rest of the mortals is this belief of "we can". How else could one explain the low savings rate, over consumption and other luxuries?

But the real issue which is being missed is?

Obama was the best qualified person for the job. I dont give a penny to this african-american heritage business. Lets not take the credit away from OBAMA, the man himself by layering his qualifications with race.

Having said that people are inspired by him, one should also not be too ignorant of everyday happenings around us which we tend to neglect and which are far more inspiring.

All around us who are geniuses in their own right. From the daily wager, for whom the presidency is one day's wage and to the millions who eke out a living around the world. These too are inspiring for me. The daily struggles, the constant threat of hunger, disease and all sorts of deprievation. Still they are alive! Long live the human spirit !!!

And hightime we start appreciating these stars also.....
