Women have the ability to make anyone feel grounded, and in some cases, even deflate one's ego. Whenever a man gets too big for his boots, he can always rely on his wife to keep him in check.
Sir Venkatraman Ramakrishnan spoke about his wife's reaction, at the Foreign Press Awards at Park Lane Hotel, to when he had won the Nobel Prize in 2009, in Chemistry. The structural biologist recalled, “She said: 'What, you?' They say behind every successful man is a very surprised woman. I told her I was speaking to foreign journalists [at the Foreign Press Awards]... hosted by someone called Sandi Toksvig- heard of her? “Of course,” she said. 'I listen to Radio 4.' Then I got some kind of grudging respect.”
The Guardian received six Foreign Press Awards for its Long Read articles. Martin Chulov, was bestowed with the top award for his work, ISIS: The Inside Story.
