Now, if only their was a Nobel Prize for Blogging and/or the cannon of commentary on the modern age of which it is a part. Demokrissy leads world opinion where it matters. Demokrissy’s trending at the UN, it seems.
In the days that saw the mortal exit of two Nobel Laureates of 2001 in one week, with the death of former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan who received the Nobel Peace Prize and Sir Vidia Naipaul who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in the same year, attention was turned on and tuned to Demokrissy’s assessment and presentation of the impact of Nobel Laureate Sir Vidia S. Naipaul on our world. In fact, the – uhh- post mortem – on Sir Vidia’s funeral has been trending at the United Nations and to UN readers.
Now who needs likes and thumbs up from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn etc when the reach is more targeted, direct and to the point, eh.
Kidding aside, how humbled I feel to have been within the ambit of some of the world’s leading minds of our time.
