Post Oscar 2006

So the oscar distribution certainly upset many people I guess. Crash won the best picture award. I don't complain about that :) I really liked the movie and the music and the snowfall towards the end of the movie! So, they should have such a ceremony for engineers, doctors, lawyers, carpenters, builders, etc. Come on, it is high time they hosted one for people like us. Not that I may get nominated, but I can try to find a connection to one of the nominees and go sit inside the Kodak Theatre at least! The post ceremony interview might be like:

TV station: "How does it feel to be nominated as the best Mechanical Engineer for 2005?"

Winner: "I wish to thank the Academy for the Oscar and my grandmother who appears in my dreams everyday. She was the one who told me to become a Mechanical Engineer. Then my mother encouraged me a lot. She taught me how to be a great engineer. Whenever I got depressed, she used to ask me to hang in there. I have always hung in there and now here I am, with an oscar" :)

TV station: "So, tell me about winning the oscar for the best Doctor for 2005"

Doctor: "I had no idea, when I cut the intestine of that terminally ill patient, it'll fetch me an oscar. I guess I just did my job and then God is great."

No seriously, we all need such occasions to glorify ourselves. After all we are responsible for so much progress in the world - manufacturing cell phones, laptops, medicines, etc. Somebody needs to pamper us man. This is not at all fair.

I want to be in the news like: "Oscar winner and Engineer Mr.K is now working with a new team of engineers to design the next generation cellphones so that he may use that cellphone to do more such work."
