Underrated –

I happen to attend Blackmore’s Night concert. I went in with zero (or negative) expectations. But I am feeling blessed to watch Ritchie performing live. Great guitarist….I might not be an apt music critic but I can definitely tell that he rocks!! He is outstanding…
He is rated 55th in Greatest Guitarist of all time…..I disagree! All Rolling stones list are highly biased towards 70s (oldschool) and never gets updated with the new music. It is also based on ‘popular’ music….probably no one heard enough of Deep Purple or Blackmore’s night!
Renaissance, Medieval, European Classical and heavy metal….He blends it just perfectly….Extra Ordinary!

Overrated

Martin Luther King – civil rights against racial discrimination
Mother Theresa – spent life as a missionary of charity
Aung San Suu Kyi – decades of struggle for democracy and human rights
Nelson Mandela – spent life against Racial Segregation
Muhammad Yunus – for economic development of women
Barack Obama – ummm, not sure….

“For his extra ordinary efforts to strengthen diplomacy”.
“For being inspiration and hope for World Peace.
“For recognizing his efforts” (Does he really needs this? )

He is the president of most powerful nation……Is this not on his Job Duty list? Its been just 10 months that he took this position (compared to others who spent whole life for some notable cause) He has all the power and money that can bring the change. And really- has there been any major, noteworthy and lasting changes?
Why not give all that money and honor to some organization that really needs it

All the other Nobel peace laureates had extreme /hostile conditions.
Most of the laureates had been presidents/ prime ministers or some position in politics. But their work did not use this political advantage.

There is certain respect for Nobel Prize – which I kinda lost when I heard his nomination (and then the win)
