Yes, I first assumed it to be something else.

The Indian PM Manmohan Singh is a very nice man. Very wise, very educated(did Economics in Oxford), very clean, very hardworking & he's not really a politician, but a technocrat. When the Indian economy was in shambles in 1992 & the country was in the verge of a financial collapse (we even had to sell gold to UK & all), he was made the Finance Minister. He completed changed the economics of the country. Because of which, the Indian economy now is the 2nd fastest growing economy in the world (after China). It was growing over 9% before recession, but now it's growing at about 6%. Nearly everyone in the country has great respect for the man.

I should shake the hand of this man.

He sounds awsm indeed.

Oh he is. He was born in a very poor family & used to study under streetlights(no electricity at his home). He got scholarships to Oxford & Cambridge by sheer hard work. He took up Economics to help alleviate poverty. And he is doing that.
The best part about him is that he is very humble. When he was just a minister, the party top brasses would treat him very badly. He was made to wait for hours outside someone's office purposely & he used to never get angry. He is so calm & composed.
He also never clamours for power. He didn't want to be the PM in the first place. And he has absolutely no qualms about resigning from his job to just get a good deed done.
Seriously, if we had Presidential elections here, I am sure he would have won well over 90% votes.

Why doesn't this forum support scalable pictures?

We were giggling about that one in IRC a day or two ago. Great picture.

I've never encountered a forum that does support scaling images..

Is there any way you could make a change that allows for embedding of stuff.

For the MJ thing I got bored and tried to embed a Hulu feed, but couldn't.

Damn, just tried it on some other forums and it didn't work. I'm sure I used it once, though...

We could enable embedding of certain flash files. We're not going to because they're irritating and you can just link to them. (Also, Hulu is US only..)

It was funny. I liked the comments made by some netizens.

Nicolas Sarkovzy? Close to that, I'm thinking.

That's a great picture.

Sarkozy isn't it?

That'd be it, I'm pretty sure.

So, inappropriate glances aside, how do ya'll think Obama's been doing?

Yes, it's Nicolas Sarkozy. Wonder whether Michelle Obama & Carla Bruni would have thought.
Anyway, Sarkozy is hopelessly in love with Carla & vice versa. I am thinking mightbe Obama & Sarkozy had too a long conversation with Silvio Berlusconi. After all, he was the host.

Ah. Silvio Berlusconi. I can imagine his views -

That guy is such a womanizer. Seems to spend all his time with women. Wonder if he does any of his duties.
