What does it take...??

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched,
every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft
from those who hunger and are not fed, those
who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms
is not spending money alone. It is spending
the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists,
the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life
at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war,
it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
"
- Dwight D. Eisenhower

This BBC estimate speaks volumes for the futility of war...



hope someone's learnt some lessons...

Tribute to the musical genius

Ignorance is bliss?...NOT! ...atleast in the case of music. Its heartening to see someone write so highly of a true genius... Read Richard Corliss on the all-time best-selling recording artist who can't get a break in the States ... A R Rahman!

Game rules: Only 2 persons on the raft at a time The father cannot stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence The mother cannot stay with any of the sons without their father's presence The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member if the policeman is not there Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft.
