The highest postion in the world is being held by - No it's not Barack Obama, Pope Benedict, The Dalai Lama, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, nor Lee Kuan Yew - He is 'Babu Sassy', a fearless youngman from South India!
He 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.
Stories about his daily dalliance with death are discussed in revered terms by Dubai '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!"
