I see Satya as sooper intelligent!
If you read about him his resolve to educate himself was quite inspiring.
The East Indians I know here in the US are very insightful and disciplined when it comes to learning.
It used to drive me nutz with the constant questioning...now I see the questions from all angles in a different way.
Americans are very slack at times with detailed answers.
Details are very important so many Indians here have resorted to asking 6 questions worded differently to derive relevant answers.
This has taught me (and the wife) to answer a question in a detailed and organized manner.So you see the benefit of two societies interacting there.
Pretty cool I thought.
