My dad sent a picture of the 1994 pulitzer prize winning photograph a couple of days back. I have seen this before, but seeing it again just made me realize that how some people are deprived some of the most basic necessities in life while we spend hours depressed and cribbing about high house prices, falling stocks, etc..etc. We should realize how fortunate we are and be thankful that atleast we don't have to worry whether we will get anything to eat within the next week. Secondly we should all take a vow that we will not waste a single morsel of food. I also always wondered why someone would even think about clicking a picture in such a scenario instead of just going and picking up the child and giving some food.
Last week the americans celebrated Katie Couric hosting the evening news. It is the first time that a woman is hosting solo, the evening news on the national channels...oh my god how can a woman report news in a crisis situation. Such a pity..makes you wonder how much more longer it will be before the country will even consider (let alone vote) a woman as President.
The governator signed a bill today banning the use of cell phones while driving. It took them 5 years...5 years, to create the bill. My God...is it lack of common sense or just a way of ensuring job security. And it is going to be in effect only 2 years from now (2008).
On the funny side:
- A man was forced to marry a goat in Sudan ;)
- Read this article about elephants and birth control ;). If only they could enforce it on humans !!
