There’s a talk by NRN going on. Got bored and walked off while he was preaching the importance of putting the good of society above our own.
The talk was preceded by a short speech by Arun Shourie. He had the audience in fits, slamming politicians, and actually making the point that NRN was trying to make a lot better. That is some dude, that is.

I didn’t like it either the way Shourie praised NRN, though overall I liked the way he put his points. And about the politician thing, that was really humorous.
old age bequeaths cynicism.
shourie is an excellent speaker. i’ve heard him twice. and he’s was awesome both times.
i’ve also attended talks by a few other politicians who are again awesome speakers. I didn’t have much respect for Subramanian Swamy till i attended his lecture. he’s too brilliant. Jairam Ramesh is also pretty good.
as for NRN… well… i’m not sure if he’s a good public speaker. and i’m not surprised that he was talking about society etc.
