Gandhi Vs Gandhi

Alright Alright..
I have been away (from blogosphere) for a while.., for a long while rather. Sometimes work pressures puncture your zest and zeal to pen your views in the web. Back with a blast now!

The occasion of International Non Violence Day yesterday were marked by several events across the globe. Yesterday, Congress Chief and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi encountered strong protests from various associations of Indian-American community in New York after she delivered her speech in the UN General Assembly. Considering the International History IQ levels of American people and their representatives, it is not hard to understand why this "Gandhi" chose to speak about Mahatma Gandhi!.

On the telly, I could not take my eye off one of the protestors' placard which read :
Sonia :Secret Bank Account of $2B in Swiss Bank Account.
I'm sure our CBI would have turned a blind eye to this ! I'm not sure if they had the required IQ but they never had Q !!!

Elsewhere in Sweden, Executive Director of the Nobel Foundation Michael Sohlam made a public apology for not awarding the Nobel prize to 5 times nominated Mahatama Gandhi, saying that the decision not to extend him the prize was a mistake.
"We missed a great laureate and that's Gandhi. It is a big regret," he told a News Channel.
"I usually don't comment on what the Nobel Committees or prize awarding institutions decide. But here, they themselves think he is the one missing," he said.
Gandhiji was nominated in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and finally a few days before he was shot dead in January 1948.

In the final analysis, this expression of regret seems to be a greater reward than the award itself , for the World's greatest proponent of Peace and Non-violence !!
