every place has its high points and low points. working in a newsroom, you cannot possibly avoid current affairs/intellectual discourse. in a low, i killed 58 people today. injured dozens. 21 in china (road accident), 17 in combodia (road accident) 14 in nepal (landmine blast) 3 in pakistan (blast/bombing) 3 in afghanistan (shot down by forces[us? afghan?]) in a rather intellectual discussion, i learnt burkina faso's capital is Ouagadougou. the country was formerly known as Upper Volta. i also learnt that the thai island ko samui is 21kms long, and 25 kms wide. so it doesnt have a runway, or an airforce, and if you travel at 60 kmph, you'd be in water long b4 the hour is up.
