No comment

I have just read this and this. The world stinks. That's an understatement.

We're all responsible: running away from these realities won't help.

Incidentally, I believe some lady claims (in response to the first article) that "this would never have happened in USA or london". Please read the reports on looting, shooting, killing, raping and, yes, mutilation in post-Katrina Louisiana. But this is hardly the point.

@dd: Nijer jibone kichhu na korle bal hobe, aar ki?

@satchisgod: I understand the point about hypocrisy, but surely there's a difference between paying a bribe for a seat on a train and picking a man's pockets while letting him die on the streets?

All sins are not quite equal, you know. And selfishness is not the only sentiment that nature programs into us.

The DRebel is, from all accounts, a beautiful camera, so congrats! I want to buy something similar, but will need to save up big time. Shooting film is just too expensive here.

@satchisgod--...but surely there's a difference between paying a bribe for a seat on a train and picking a man's pockets while letting him die on the streets?

certainly. one's financially profitably to self, the other isn't. in reverse order.

sorry, it's a particularly cynical morning for me. came here from DD's blog (your comment to the iit-lingo post, more specifically), and i'm surprised to see one of my blogs (Calcutta all the way) linked here.

er, thank you, i think...

oh, and incidentally, i'm from Pratt, so i suppose i say thank you again ;)

@heavynash: Neither did I. But now that we're here, up yours too, and other such friendly noises.

@rimi: I could argue that there are situations in which both are financially profitable, but don't we both agree that's pointless? I hope you're less cynical now that you've been asked out :).

I wasn't aware the Cal blog is exclusively yours -- lots of ppl appear to post on it. And why the surprise? Where do you think I'm from? Sawai Madhopur?

Menshun naat abt Pratt.

YOU READ MY BLOG!!! *goggles*

the CAL blog was set up by me and am the sole administrator,so... well, i suppose i should still have said 'our'. and yes, i do agree it is hopelessly pointless...

@rimi: YOU READ MY BLOG!!! *super-goggles*

Cal is almost exactly at the other end of the world for me now. You're lucky to be there.
