For those rubbish politicians who are even encashing on their dubious claims on auasterity should read this. A man the world eulogises has a family that lives a simple life. I think it is hypocricy of the politicians that is the major problem in India

In India a Panchayat councilor aims to own a Mercedes not through hard work but by looting people's money. Our thick (as good as bullet proof) skinned politicians and babus will never learn from such great personalities.Firstly they won't know what's Nobel Prize and they haven't learnt our own Father of the Nation.SHAME! SHAME?

I am giving another example of Linus Pauling who graduated as Metlurgical Engineer and got interested in Crystallography and then in Chemical structures and later on DNA ( unfortunately he missed Noble prize for double helix structure, which Watson and Crick got ) but opened roads for Molecular biology and lot of other fields . There is a saying in Sanskrit: Kriya Sidhih Satwe Bhavati, Mahataam Nopkarne ... All great fellows are like this only ...

How about Gandhi, Buddha, Mahavir, Asoka and Chanakya? Add Sri Krishna and Sri Rama too.

Eastindians/ bengalis. Sorryto note this much hatred in this forum. Why only Vadora celebrates not Delhi?
It is such a cliche with professors in America, the life style of cycling to work and stuff. Instead of highlighting the work that Dr Venketesh did, rediff wants to play tabloid and talk about his bathroom habit. What a waste of time
Einstein famously said he simply could'nt understand why very few understood him but a lot of folks adored him. It is content that matters, rediff. Stop being a complete tabloid
Dr. Venky, Slaute, pranam, congratulation!!!!!!!!! I dont knw how to express my joy to you. I know how difficult it is to study the protein crystallography.. Sir, you have done heavenly job. You made us proud. You have motivated us...Lot of love and gratitude to you.

The same should go to all those who are engaged in research works, but not just who are awarded with Nobel laureate or after they were awarded.
Congrats to Dr.Venky. Another feather on Indias cap.India always produces the best in the world.
But as the Rediff highlights on the heading that he dosen't own a car but cycles. It has no wonder people like Dr.Venky dosen't have time to go to a gym for his excercise but he use his time wisely using a cycle. It is a common thing in USA. There is no big issue in it. Only we people look down on cyclist.
Re: Nobel winner does not own a car, cycles to work

He might not use car to go work. but sure he keeps it in his garage. even a begger can't survive without car in this country forget abt scientists.
