A Tamilian's Tribute to an Apple
Share Am terribly disappointed. For a lot of reasons. But the most, by one. "A man's value/influence on this society is determined by the no. of heads that mourn on this death" , it's said. A legend has just passed away. Not less than a week ago. And what have done other than FB status msgs, Twitter taggings, a few +1's and by some stone agers' Orkut scraps...? He'd never asked me to buy any of the products of his company. Neither did I care to think of it since they were more clearly overpriced. But how could such a legend not be here from India...? There has to be an Indian connection , did I think. Not that this is the only country that can host such a genius. But yet, when we don't / cant have something, it's at least a bit soothing to celebrate it as if it were ours. We Indians are still proud of Aryabhatta/Bhaskara for giving this world it's greatest digit ZERO and other jaw-dropping gyans. Be it Bhagavad Gita/Thirukkural.
