Being a fellow walker in this world of academia, i can say one thing. We are very weak and gullible to the rosey world of theories.
Dr Singh, prime minister of my home country India, is an erstwhile academic too, having done his PhD in economics with impeccable credentials. But now he is a country's premier, totally in the pragmatics of issues, and here in this pic i can see a vulnerable, could-be fooled self.
Reference to the pic: Times of India cover page story today, on the historic nuclear deal between India and the United States.
Implications: India now acknowledged a de-facto, nuclear state, but why is that not being proclaimed by the US?
Most concerning: The academic in Dr Singh is visible in this photograph, he and his men around might have inked the deal with all the theoretical world of future in which India plays a leadership role in mind, but i hope they are noting Bushy darling here...
I dont like his condescending pat on Dr Singh's shoulders, beware Dr Singh hope you have done your homework ably, the country looks to you for the right steps, in tiptoes or in trotters...
