.

DoubleQuote I: St Greta, Virgin and Guevara:

Questions:

  • Is either meme valid?
  • including its implications?
  • Are those implications obscure to you?
  • Can both sets of implications be valid at once?
  • Could both memes be irrelevant?
  • misleading?
  • Are they in conflict?
  • counterpoint?
  • harmony?
  • Do you have a preference for one meme over the other?
  • What’s your opinion of the other meme?

    • .

    DoubleQuote II: St Greta and St Malala:

    Each of these young women is addressing the United Nations, Malala asking for universal education, Greta for immediate action on climate change.

    Questions::

  • Is there urgent need for universal education?
  • Is there universal need for action on climate change?
  • is Malala Yousafzai a sort of saint?
  • Is Greta Thunberg a sort of saint?
  • Does either one set your teeth on edge?
  • Why do I even have to ask that question?

My wife, Lady V, made a list of 10 Indians who have made a global impact. I wrote it down to share it on BP. It’s actually 13 but who’s counting:

    1. L N Mittal – one of the richest men in UK/ Europe / Kalpana Chawla (only Indian woman to go into space)

    2. Shah Rukh Khan/Amitabh Bachan/ MF Husain – global icons

    3. Mukesh Ambani – richest man in Asia

    4. Satya Nadella – Microsoft chief

    5. Sundar Pichai – Google Chief

    6. Indra Nooyi – Pepsi co

    7. C V Raman / Nobel winner

    8. Venky Ramakrishna – Nobel winner

    9. Arundhati Roy – Booker Prize winner

    10. Amartya sen – Nobel economics prize winner

    Her submission for global Pakis are:

    1. Nargis Mavawalla

    2. Malala Yousufzai (I added Malala to this list)

    3. Benazir Bhutto

    All three of course are women; I would have added Imran Khan but does he have a global reach?

    For some reason Pakistanis don’t scale the same peaks as Indians do..

    Ps:

    Kabir’s additions:

    4. Edhi; humanitarian extraordinaire

    5. Asma Jehangir; notes human rights lawyer

    6. Abdus Salam: Nobel (physics) peace prize
