I remember when there were some schools in our time where the children of the rich were the one who always came first in their class, irrespective of their performance in study. The reason behind this was, that the school administration had to give prize to the position holder i.e. a book, pen,pencil or a plastic cup etc., and for the school administration it was hard to find a worthy student for the prize. Usually the poor students were the one who were good in studies but being poor they were not eligible for the prize, therefore the children of rich and mighty always used to be position holder.
The winning of prize definitely gives satisfaction irrespective of its value, but it gives real satisfaction when the winner feels that he really deserve it.
I am sure Obama will be surprised and shocked and will definitely think and laugh at the real joke that h append with him in the form of Noble Peace Prize.
The winner of Noble Peace Prize is the President of a country that is famous for invading and destroying sovereign countries, killing people, shedding blood and sponsoring terrorism and the winner of Peace prize is a person who still overseer wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, who is ready to send more troops to kills more people, who is continuously carrying out deadly attacks on Pakistan and Somalia in the name of Anti-terrorism, who is threatening an Islamic country Iran for due to its nuclear program but sponsoring a terrorist country Israel for the same.
Till now I was considering the Noble Prize as one of the prestigious prize and to be eligible for, one must have distinctive contribution in the respective field. But today when the Peace prize is given to a person in the name of peace initiatives in the forms of just a few words, tomorrow I may also get one for Economics by just holding an Economics book in hand???
