….cute, but slightly premature.  After all, he was only in office for 11 odd days when the nominations closed !

Great intentions, great promise of a better tomorrow …. but delivery would be nice !

It was fun being on twitter yesterday – pithy one liners flew across the length and breadth of the world –  140 characters of dripping sarcasm 🙂 some of my favorites :

@sumants RT @MitchBenn: It’s official: George Bush was such an asshole you can win the Nobel Peace Prize just by not being him.

@sidin Obama to win Commonwealth Gold & lifetime Oscar. Also X Prize, Magsaysay and Bigg Boss 3. And Dancing With The Stars

@shefaly Ok let me understand this then. Obama has been granted anticipatory No-bail?

@IndiaVoice india’s bomb makers — the ones who made the thermonuclear dud — are better deserving of the nobel peace prize.!!!!!!!

@MrsStephenFry Yet ANOTHER year overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize. How many more do I have to kill to win that thing?

@samitbasu I hear next week’s special item on Mafia Wars is a Nobel Peace Prize.

I hope that the world is not destroying the man with the weight of expectations. He is not the Messiah — he is flesh and blood and fighting a rather cranky system. Give him space and time to get his work done …. .. and, maybe then a second Nobel would be in order…

But, on the positive side, atleast he didn’t get it for literature !

  1. I am quite impressed by the Nobel’s creativity and innovative thinking. george bush is known for preemptive attacks and the nobel through obama is attempting preemptive peace. they’ve signed him for a 3 year, with a possibility of a 4 year extension, contract. it’s like drafting in sports. fal kha, karm automatically ho jayega.
