Nukes, Farmers and Diplomacy

Bush seems on a strange visit :) or so it seems to me.

First he signs a Nuke deal to cement the "civil nuclear energy cooperation" between India and the United States.

As I write, he is at the NGRA University that is involved in knowledge initiative on agriculture.

He will then go to the B School affiliated with the Wharton and Kellogg School of Management.

Was there some connect in all this?
On one hand they sign nuke deals for global peace (!!??) and then they shake hands with Indian farmers?

On the third hand they will sell India better fighter aircraft and our high-tech arms (aha, I was going to type it as hitech, changed it just in time! Old habits die hard?!) and encourage farmers on the fourth?

Forgive my humor, but this seems like we will bomb ‘land’ using their arms and then till/plough the same land using their help. Nice!

Hhhmmm… all this diplomacy is sure lost on me! ;)

The morning news on NDTV had an interesting question about Bush's visit to Hyderabad:
“Everyone asks Why Hyderabad, we ask Why not Hyderabad?”

Here is why not, indeed!

• Hyd is Destination Next – remember you saw this phrase here for the first time!
• Hyd-baddies could well be the next word to get added to the Dictionaries, never mind Bangalore jobs will be bangalored from under their noses ;)
• All bets on for Hyd to have the next US Consulate – consider the number of Andhra-vaadus you encounter while travelling out of India and you are bound to bet in favour!
• Out-of-favor-chicken-biryani – a worthy mention, albeit the flu threats
• Hyd-baddie culture, people, place, animal, things.. eerr.. ok, got carried away. Though I doubt Bush will really get to flavour this.
• Of course, this is where yours truly resides, so...
