Venky, Indian born, biologist wins the "Nobel"...


Dr. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, aged 58, who is a structural biologist by profession has been awarded with the most prestigious Nobel Prize in the field of Chemistry. Venky had his early education in the states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat and then he has moved over to the United States to pursue his goals and now there he is standing tall with the Noble Prize.

I am proud that an Indian born has won the prize but I am a bit sad that he isn't from India right now nor were he nominated from India. It's ok but still he is Indian by nature, I guess. Achieving such a prestigious award is less to none. He is receiving this award for his work on proteins that control life. Congrats Mr. Venkatraman.
