Welcome Mr. Obama

So, Mr. Barack Obama was yesterday sworn in as America's 44th President and the first having a foreign background. He's believed to be a man for the middle and lower middle classes, as he's seen life in Indonesia, Africa and other such countries.

The welcome speech was not much of a surprise, with economy and terrorism being the highlights, as expected.

I'm sure the world is going mad in finding out what new things are there on offer.For starter, The White House website has been completely transformed. Be it inaugural website, inaugural luncheon menu, inaugural recipes, whatever you want to know about, all you have to do is Click Here
So, for the moment, that would be all about the inauguration and my best wishes to Mr. Obama.

Back home in India, the government has issued a directive that from the next session, all the schools would have to prescribe NCERT text books instead of the other state books. This has caused considerable amount of debate in the academic circle but one thing is for sure, it will allow some degree of uniformity.Although I suspect students would still continue to use other text books for reference as they have been doing.

Today is the day for Barack Obama, America's 44th President, to be sworn in and they're reportedly going to spend something like $120 million for the ceremony, with around 2 million people expected to attend this amidst 40000 security personnel!
