something to think about this weekend perhaps..
The War in Iraq:
The worldwide update of reported civilian deaths in the Iraq war and occupation
currently over 70,000 and counting
Soldier deaths by Coalition Country
4,373 and counting…
HELLO George Bush??!! Something’s not working here!!!
these are not just random counters, this is the actual death toll. 75,000. Think of all the mothers, fathers, daughters, [...]

I have been avidly reading everything that Keri Smith has written on her lovely blog the wish jar. This woman is creativity defined.. and a couple of the books on the side are the Amazon purchase that i am gleefully waiting for. If her list of 100 ideas doesn’t get your creative juices flowing then [...]

K and I spent the day on Saturday out at a neighbours farm, about 3 hours from South Mumbai.
SO nice to get out of the city for the day.. I hadn’t realised how much I missed being out in the country.. getting some dirt between my toes, smelling fresh cut grass and being surrounded by [...]

-fresh air
-greenery
-open space
-nice smells
-somewhere to go for a walk
-no honking horns
-no people staring
-in fact, [...]

This comic strip definitly rivals Dilbert as a favourite. The trials and tribulations of Zebra, Rat, Pig and Goat never to fail to make me giggle over my morning chai. Here’s a couple of recent snippets-

independence day
Posted in daily stuff on August 14, 2007 | 1 Comment »
tomorrow is a public holiday to celebrate 60 years of Indian independence. I could write something insightful and intelligent about how far the country has come in so many ways, but also how far it has to go in so many others. I could declare the education system a sham that only benefits the rich, I could [...]
visit india!

was surfing around art.com tonight and across these lovely old prints. Don’t you just want to come and visit?
I think the first one is my favourite, and I’m really not sure that this last one is the cleverest idea.. Visit India! There’s lots of guys with guns in the hills! You might even get ambushed [...]

I currently have a wee pile going beside my bed and am reading about 5 books all at the same time.. plus my new OPRAH magazine finally arrived – I subscribed online about 2 months ago and had kind of given up hope on it, what with the notorius Indian postal system and all.. but [...]
