thanx for the link, emma. as you said, very poignant.
[kuffir] You are welcome Kuffir...
Every time a tragedy happens in India, we learn something new.... bulldoze to remove bodies!!!!??, how heartless can people get?? But luckily we also hear stories of extraordinary kindness from ordinary people... leaves us with some hope for life..
I read your Ugadi post just now. I totally agree with you. In India the politicians have evolved a peculiar kind of secularism. The govt, is free from allegiance to any single religion. It has allegiance to ALL religions. And being unscientific? I could write a whole post on it. I have heard that some building belonging to the corporation in Bangalore was not occupied because it did not conform to Vastu. My blood boils at the waste of public money!
[anu] I can't agree with you more - I have seen that happen - where because the building did not conform to Vastu, it was not exactly brought down but a lot of changes done to it. This was the secretariat in Hyderabad. Blood boiling! Tell me about it!
Emma, are you taking a blog break or what?
[mridula] Yes, kind of... Have been extremely busy at work - so haven't had a chance to catch up on my reading either. Other stuff as well - so little inclination to write. I know, I should get back to it - very soon :).
Good, do come back soon.
