An Indian at the global pedestal

Well, again the newspapers are brimming with news about how another has taken the world stage to make a name for the billion us. Mr Satya Nadella has been chosen as the third CEO in the history of Microsoft and will be taking over from Steve Balmer with immediate effect. So a midst the hullabaloo about this news, i just sat wondering to how exactly have we as Indian benefited. Its not like more jobs are going to magically start appearing in India. What good did Sanjay Gupta being appointed Chief Surgeon in the White house administration bring us, or what did Kal Penn's appointment as adviser again in white house help us in anyway.
The only people who probably feel motivated by his appointment are the students at Manipal university, who can now believe that "Humara bhi kuch ho sakta hai". Apparently, Mr Nadella is a Microsoft insider, and has been involved in their cloud computing business. Being an engineer, he is being considered as a better option than what Steve Balmer has proven to be, who hailed from a sales background.
Now, like i said, being an Indian, its okay to gloat over this, but not too much. I like all the rest of the individuals around could use a job at Microsoft after all. Should Mr Nadella, go for a talent hunt in the country he hails from. Not only are we as motivated as him, but trust me, we all are looking for a reason to drop out of college and establish another Microsoft. I sometimes sit at the chaiwallah stall near my college and wonder, do i have a Zuckerberg or a Gates in me. Why can't i do what they did? Do something unconventional. But then, that may have been the nicotine talking.
