The Morning After

It's the Morning After the Great Music concert and the declaration of the 7 New Wonders of the World.

The Taj Mahal is one of the ‘new’ wonders of the world.
So is the Great Wall of China.
But the pyramids of Egypt or the Sphynx didn’t make it.
It’s the ‘American Idol’ of Contests. Anyway, I suppose it’s time to celebrate a great deal of nothing?

Meanwhile kids still sleep, homeless on pushcarts in Patna, Bihar India.

While on that note, Bihar, here’s a charming blog called ‘A canvas full of dreams’ which you must visit. A charming place to visit. Here’s a sampling:

I have spent more than a month in Muzaffarpur. It has been a different experience from all that I’ve had so far. Every town has its own story and I guess it’s important to know the stories of a town to understand the uniqueness of the smaller towns in this country.

A canvas full of dreams.

An interesting insight into the world of India’s Adivasi population. Rajesh Toppo, a Tribal from Orissa has a blog which should be accessed by all who are interested in tribal affairs whether in Jharkhand, Bihar, Orissa or Bengal
