for what it's worth

April 12, 2004

no can blog yet. must sleep. a few thyngs that must be said. uploaded pictures of Asif Jah Haveli, like i promised i would. not too fancy, but worth a look. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ umm... ppl need to start listening to good music. thys stuff is pretty old, like around one yr, but just in case you are still unaware... its urdu alternative rock, in case you wanna know abt the genre. Aadat -- by Jal. the very tragic story w/ these guys is, they made a superhit track, and then the two member band broke up. now they are involved in all sorts of litegation. sad. just stay w/ the song ok? get Nishaan by Call. thou shalt have to access their site, where you can listen to it. i believe you can rip it off from Kazaa. incidently, it was awarded the best rock track for 2003. whatever! :p but it's good stuff. then there is always Tabla Beat Science, Talvin Singh, and Pathanay khan. but cant be bothered to link them abhi...*sowee (:* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ umm... real life heroes. ok. here's one. this is a picture of Rwandan genocide survivor Athanasie Mukarwego, 45, who was held as a sex slave, and gang-raped by hundreds of militiamen over the course of 100 days of ethnic slaughter, during the country's 1994 mass killings. once rescued, she was diagnozed HIV-negative, and now works with genocide widows and rape victims as the co-ordinator of the Village of Hope, a women's centre in Rwanda's capital Kigali. i wanted to put thys story up, simply, to remind me tym and again, to be thankful for all i have, be greatful for the environment i live in, and in times when i dispair, to thynk of her, and acquire strength from her. how a woman was able to survive all that, and then stay connected with that very same past... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ and dont ask abt the exam. lets just say it wasnt all what i expected ok? ;)
