Highest Position in the World

Do you know who holds the highest position in the world?
President Barack Obama?
Nope.
Pope Benedict?
Nope.
The Dalai Lama?
Nope.
Do you want to see WHO that person is ? (scroll down……)












































Babu Sassi, a fearless young man from southern India ,
is the cult hero of Dubai 's army of construction workers.
Known as the "Indian on the top of the world",
Babu is the crane operator at the world's tallest building,
the 819-meter Burj Dubai. His office, the cramped crane
cab perched on top of the Burj, is also his home. It takes
too long to come down to the ground each day to make it
worthwhile - although, when the building is completed,
its elevators will be the world's fastest. Stories about his
daily dalliance with death are discussed in revered terms
byDubai's workers. Some say he has been up there for
more than a year, others whisper that he's paid 30,000
dirhams ($8,168) a month compared with the average
wage of 800 dirhams a month. But everyone agrees, he's
worth it - because nobody else would have the courage to
do the job!
