english: I remember, I decided to write my "Why the World Isn't Flat" article, because I was being interviewed on TV in Mumbai, and the interviewer's first question to me was, "Professor Ghemawat, why do you still believe that the world is round?" And I started laughing, because I hadn't come across that formulation before. (Laughter) And as I was laughing, I was thinking, I really need a more coherent response, especially on national TV. I'd better write something about this. (Laughter) But what I can't quite capture for you was the pity and disbelief with which the interviewer asked her question.
non_english: Sećam se da sam odlučio da napišem ,,Zašto svet nije ravan" članak zato što sam držao intervju na TV-u u Mumbaju i voditeljkino prvo pitanje je bilo: ,,Profesore Gemavat, zašto i dalje mislite da je svet okrugao?" Počeo sam da se smejem jer mi niko nije tako postavio to pitanje. (Smeh) Dok sam se smejao, razmišljao sam kako mi je potreban  koherentniji odgovor, posebno na nacionalnoj televiziji. Bilo bi bolje da napišem  nešto o ovome. (Smeh) Ali ne mogu da vam tačno opišem sažaljenje i nevericu sa kojom je voditeljka postavila to pitanje.
