@madmax: hehehe. Zank you for showing your support :D. Did you say Mac? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. she must be a delight, no? Mac book Pro, eh? *turns green in jeaslousy and narrows her eyes*

Bravo KG. Well said. I was also a tad pis***d off when I saw Joy's comment. Pity that folks just stop at the end of the article and not go for reading the comments. And don't let comments like Joy's put you down. You are a big favourite of quite a few of us. Keep writing. Awaiting eagerly to hear the description of the new house and how Mish-Mash (Oh I so love this name) has settled in. As for me, still trying to come to terms with the darned keyboard of the Mac. Next article would take awhile. Clicking snaps instead :-). Take care

@joy: firstly, welcome here. Secondly, may be you should read posts completely before you jump to comment. You blog hop to find faults?

Rabindranath Tagore did not compose ‘Ei Monihar Amaaye Nahi Saje’ after winning the Nobel for Literature! Please get your facts right before posting! You may mislead many people through your lack of knowledge about Tagore.

2009-10-22T03:39:00.644+05:30

What else could he do?
Say 'I don't deserve it' and depress a world that is hopeful of him stirring up the economy?
I didn't subscribe to the view (of him being awarded) either, but seems like this was an upfront payment, if you know what I mean :-)

2009-10-21T03:19:06.608+05:30

you revamped your blogsite - very nice !

I guess Obama got it because he was least voilent of all candidates :-P

I liked what starry-eyed nut suggested - give it to Osama - I guess he hasnt made a mass killing this year so he deserves it as as much as any other world leader :P

v true! Infact they could have given it to Osama. He has made significant contribution towards world peace, so what if its destruction of world peace :)

On a diff note - can i bribe you into sharing templates :)

2009-10-11T21:40:34.169+05:30

That song still fits Obama. Every single person including him was shocked to hear this so that means he knows that it is undeserving.

Hope he politely refuses and then accepts it when he is actually worthy of it. Otherwise he will go down in the history among Churchill who got it for literature :)) and many others.

2009-10-11T18:35:17.920+05:30

Wholeheartedly agree. As I said, there is no more honor. Not even amongst thieves.

2009-10-11T08:08:27.387+05:30

debanjana: I stand corrected, ma'am :). still, its baffling. :)

@sawapna: i saw no point in discussing something that has no dope for discussion. I've been a great supporter of Obama and follow him as much as his well wishers do. His historic win, his ideologies, his vision and intentions are admirable. But intentions aren't the same as achievements. Am sure he'll action his visions, but should't they have waited a little longer, it would have made him happier too. Though I completely loved his acceptance speech that said- i'll accept this prize as a 'call to action'.
But whatever happened to ethics? Why do Nobel prizes need to be politically correct?

If you still can't see why there is so much unrest over the peace prize, there are a ton of bloggers who have meted out their bewilderment. No ones angry here. We are just puzzled.

@M4: yes yes. a status message of a fb friend/colleague says- Obama didn't ask for 2 things- the nobel prize and opinions about him winning it. LOL!!!
But really, he won it? Already? :D Bloody joke.

2009-10-11T01:50:47.832+05:30

The Nobel. It too...

My faith has shattered completely! Nothing and noone is above influence, power play, pressure and corruption. And we shake our heads cynically at the Filmfare awards...

2009-10-10T12:19:42.481+05:30

I found the information about Tagore quite interesting. However, I don't understand why there is a problem with Obama getting the Nobel prize. If you had written your perspective with facts to support it, that would have made it a real discussion. Just a suggestion, thats all.

2009-10-10T10:25:32.699+05:30

I wanted to tell u the same...someone else has told u already...about the knighthood....yeah.
But nevertheless...Obama doesn't deserve the Nobel...no damn doubt about that one.

tina, a small addendum::

RnT did not pen "ey monihaar amaay nahi sajey" on the news of the nobel prize... he wrote it on receiving the knighthood and then returned the honor in protest against the mass killings in jallianwala bagh....

but what ever, the concept of the song as u have visualized it in your blog vis-a-vis Obama and the nobel is apt....
