I work in Cambridge though, I completed my grads back home in India. Now, in India, I ONLY commuted using my "uber cool" motor cycle or my car. The day I started living here in Cambs, I realised how cars or mopeds were rather uncool and cycling around town was the easiest way around as Cambridge has a LOT of one-way's and restricted roads. I eventually (about 3 weeks later) gave up my thought of buying a car and instead opted for a second hand cycle (which is still going strong) for my 4 mile commute. In all honesty, our company's CEO, a multi millionaire, cycles to work and so do 80% of our work force. (Rest 20% either live in towns outside Cambridge or London)
By saying Venky doesn't own a car and cycles to work, you're only rendering the usual way of life here in Cambridge. Nothing unusual.
Ministers and Babus should crank up their austerity drive and imbibe Simple Venky's values to ride to parliament and 5-star hotels on Atlas cycles along pot-holed roads. This should help bring them in tune with the cattle-class they so fervently proclaim to represent.
Any ways who is not corrupt, ask your conscience - How many times did you resist some form of corruption, in previous one year; so the poor Politician is just your LEADER in this as he would be in your HONESTY, if you turn honest. I am with the Politician at least he does what gets him his job, Babu kills the same man who pays his salary.
Like Lalit Modi started T20 - Start another similar Zobel or Tobel Prize or Godse Prize who cares for Nobel whats so great about it. Afterall its a name to the prize and money is money. We indians are biggest cry babies.
Re: Why dont we start similar prize.

Yeah man!! How many foreigners have missed out on the filmfare award?? Only Indians are getting it.
Jokes apart, i agree with you. Nobel has its bias. Lets honour our indian scientists with the Bharat Ratna.
