RIP

In 1997, everyone in my class talked about Kalpana Chawla. At that point, I wanted to be an astronaut, of all things, and she was my role model.

I have given up that dream, but not the role model.

CNN reports on the tragedy.

HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- The seven astronauts aboard Columbia were killed today when the space shuttle shattered about 38 miles over east Texas as it was heading toward Kennedy Space Center in Florida to land.

No one knows how it happened, amd that probably makes it worse- to think that something as major as this happened, and we have no clue how or why.

Just shows how weak we really are.

Asereje!

The English translation of the Ketchup Song. Though not in cent per cent English, the lyrics now make more sense- at least I know what I tap my foot too! (Or dance to sometimes!).

Flash

Blast in Mumbai's Vile Parle suburb. Details still coming in.

Am I safe anymore? I wonder.

I get the same feeling I got on December 6, 2002.

Say "Sorry"!

On April 17, 2002 a 500-pound American bomber accidentally killed four Canadian soldiers walking along a ravine in Afghanistan. Three of those perished were below 25.

Yet, yet, the Canadian families have not received an apology from the American side.

All they got was a video footage from the warpane camera seconds before their loved ones died.

Court martial is not enough, is it?

And is US of A too proud to admit its fault... once again?

Don't Tell me What To Do!

USA says, India do this, Pakistan do that. Just when I begin to think we've had enough of Big Bro, or rather, Dad, telling us what to do, USA says India should resume talks with Pakistan.

So should India obey Daddy, or play the role of the peaceful kid meekly explaining why he can't do it, or be a rebel and say, "Don't tell me what to do! I'm not a kid anymore!"
