Can't help feeling pleased that Indian business specialist, Sonal Shah who works for Google.com and who once served in Africa, Bosnia and Kosovo - please view her impressive portfolio here - has been chosen as personal advisor to US President Elect Barack Obama as part of his stellar transition team for the White House.

Once more, an incredible testimony drummed up to the tune of a predicted success. This reminds me instinctively of Man Booker Prize winner Aravind Adiga's fictional story of The White Tiger which broadly hinted at India's new meteoric rise internationally.
