Is Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize his Anticipatory Bail ???

A couple of days ago as I opened the website rediff.com to check out some movie masala news and I stumbled upon the biggest masala news; 'Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace prize'. My first reaction was WHAT!!! and my jaw dropped. It has not even been a year since he got into the office and now he was a Nobel Prize winner!!!

The world too reacted in no uncertain terms. The reactions ranged from;

'What has he done to merit this?'

'I thought Miss Universe was the only event where people get awarded for making empty speeches about world peace.' (This reaction takes the cake as the best reaction)

Now the question is what made the Nobel Prize committee which sits in the comfortable environs of Norway decide on the Peace Prize for Barack obama????

Considering that USA is waging many battles in the world, building missile systems in Europe against Russia, trying to intimidate China indirectly etc.......So how does the PEACE come into picture for its President????

The only feasible answer that seems to emerge is that now that Mr. Obama has been conferred the top honour, he has got to live upto it. Now he has an additional responsibility to make sure that the world is a safe and 'PEACE'ful place to live in.

Mr. Obama will begin feeling the heat as the entire world has once again turned their focus on everything that Mr. Obama does. He will now understand what it takes to be a PEACE awardee. One wrong step and people will accuse him of 'buying' the Peace award (if they already havn't).

Now with great 'PEACE' comes great responsibility and it would be interesting to see how Mr. Obama will conduct himself. Mr. Obama himself acknowledged this when he said on Friday, upon accepting the award, "The Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes."

The first step that Mr. Obama would be considering to justify his 'PEACE' award is to mend USA's relations with the international community. He can start off by not pestering India to sign the NPT. My argument is how can a country with arguably the largest nuclear arsenal in the world ask other nations to engage in disarmament of its nuclear arsenal???

So all my thoughts converge to a common platform that the Nobel Awards Committee played its trump card by conferring 'PEACE' prize to Barack Obama. Coz now his PEACE prize will act as his anticipatory bail and he would be forced not to take any foolish steps that would hamper world peace. Now before any foreign policy that Mr. Obama mulls on, the PEACE prize would invariably play on his mind.

But one question stills lingers in mind; 'Did Barack Obama win the Nobel PEACE Prize for being Barack Obama or for NOT being George Bush???'

Do You Still Think The Word 'IMPOSSIBLE' Exists ?????

1) The first pic depicts King Khan with his friends at Hansraj College. None of his friends at that time must have thought that King Khan would one day become the World's Most Powerful Movie Star.

2) The second pic depicts Barack Obama at his Grand Mother's place. Even Barack Obama at that point of time might never have thought that he would graduate from the ordinary chair that he is sitting on to the chair of the World's Most Powerful Man.

No Surprises: Its Barack Obama, But..........

Its not a miracle. It was expected. Barack Obama becomes the first black to become the President of the United States of America.

Once Mr. Obama overcame the 'Hillary Clinton Caravan' to grab the Presidential Nomination of the Democrats, I had very little doubt that Mr. Obama was on his way to become the President of America. John McCain hardly stood any chance against a powerful orator that Mr. Obama is. All said and done, the biggest question is,

How will Mr.Barack Obama influence India?

1) One of the biggest promises that Mr. Obama rode on was the reduction or end of outsourcing. If implemented this would effect India's thriving outsourcing industry. It is now down to a wait and watch game as to what Mr. President does?

2) Another promise was the reduction in the granting of the H1 visas to the foreign workers. If implemented, the 'American Holiday' concept would effectively be over.

3) The often avoided Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) could well be back on the agenda.

4) America can again try to acquire the status of the 'Big Brother' for India with regard to the Kashmir Issue.

All said and done, one thing I feel is that BARACK OBAMA is the best solution to the ongoing economic crisis in the world.

Congrats Mr. Obama!!!!!
