Meeting Bill Gates

So Bill was back in India last night with his wife, Melinda. He held a reception for people who are being funded by their foundation. Probably about 200 people in the room. I sorta got to nod to him as he passed by so I guess that doesn't really count as "meeting".

I did find out one interesting thing about him though. He isn't comfortable with the people running his foundation in India (called Avahan) calling him "Bill" so they've been instructed to call him "the benefactor". :)

    So you came close to the Emperor and survived. Consider yourself lucky.

    He or his henchmen didn't touch you in any way, did they? If they did, GET THAT CHIP REMOVED!

    Risha: Nice to mee you Mr. Gates.
    Bill: Please call me "Bill."
    Risha: But you wanted us to call you "The Benefactor."
    Bill: Risha, (pause) I AM your father!
    Risha: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
    Furious light saber duel ensues. Yada yada yada.
