Against all odds



Few weeks back two personalities were crowned king. Not quiet literally but then not much objection will be raised if I choose to call them the King. And if you look at them closely, you might find more similarity amongst them than differences. So, before you could get to compare the likes and dislikes amongst the two, let me first introduce the protagonists to you people.

Well, the two main-acts of my write-up here are Barack Hussein Obama and Lewis Hamilton. Am sure I won’t have to introduce either to you. Both have achieved enough of fame and have hogged more than enough media space so as to be amongst the top of mind recall.

I personally found loads of similarity amongst the two. To start with their physical characteristics, keep their mug shots by sides, and you won’t escape noticing the striking similarities. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone likened them to brothers. Look at their entry to the global arena. They arrived here with a bang. Their skin tone has made them more of a discussion topic, because the area of the world and the field of sports they have shone, there hasn’t been many achievers from the non-white section of the population.

Does this signify something significant? Or has this more implication in the future? Who knows? Only time will tell.
