Israel and Palestine
I have always wondered the kind of life normal people, people like you and me would have in Israel, West Bank, Ghaza. Not only do these people have to live in the ever fear of walking on a live mine, but now, they straight forward have basic rights denied..rights to live with their own family. Look at this:
. The enemity between Jews and Palestinians(aka Arabs) are taken to new heights. Remind me again, are we actually in the 21st century where war is considered the worst route and where we consider ourselves far more civilized than our ancestors. Tell me again, how different is this logically compared to Sati, Untouchability and the likes? Forgive me, I simply fail to understand this bitter enemity and this unreasonable logic.

reminding me about myself
It is funny how I have forgotten what all I could do in the flurry of activities of the past "few" years. I ran through some notes and discovered that I knew how to play a bunch of sports, I had some strong likes and dislikes and I seem to have been a very different person. It was almost like reading someone else's diary!
Brings me to a question: How many of you there do as many things as you did during your childhood days? Do we need a post-it to remind us of what all we are capable of and good at?..

Venezuela
So, quick tips when you meet a Venezuelan:
1. Population from Italia, Spain and Portugal, so they understand a bit of all three languages. Don't swear in any of these :)
2. People speak Spanish and Portugese (with Brazilians :) )pretty well.
3. Don't talk to a Venezuelan only about the beautiful women in his country. Cmon guys, they have more than just that!
4. Ask them about other countries: Columbia, Brazil..dang, not Nicaragua, thatz central america!
5. Talk to them about their cuisine
During the conversation, I realized that like Columbia and Venezuela, there are a lot of beautiful countries in South America. It is such a pity that the traffik and crime rate there prevent people from visiting and enjoying the beautiful landscape..Aah..if only things weren't as bad..

The return of kicking and screaming
What I simply fail to understand is this..HOW? Everytime, and this is proved statistically, Everytime I fly, there HAS to be kids around me. Not just these regular coochicooing kids who giggle,gurgle and smile at you. Kids that just remind us what BRATS we were, when we were little.
This happened again. And yet again, I will write about it. There I was, looking arnd for my seat in the huge BOEING aircraft smiling at the fate of those who had kids around them. I did notice that EVERY row had a kid on flight. I snuggled into my window seat and took a cozy position. Everything was quiet for sometime and then,it happened.
A kid from the seat in the first row decided to spend sometime with the grandparents sitting right behind me. And the kid did come, and the kid did cry and the kid did scream and of course, the usual kick the seat in front of you act did happen. My patient half just smiled at me. It is almost there is an understanding among the kids on the flight. They decide to cry in unison or one after the other.
Well, time to face more kids..
