I heard..

..that when any asian looking people get onto buses in London, other passengers are getting off. Is this true? If so, its quite sad.

In other news, I was watching the vigil for the victims. It suddenly struck me that no matter how many terrorist attacks we have in India, we never show the slightest sorrow or reaction apart from newspaper reports condemning the attacks. Life goes on as quickly as possible. The perpetrators are caught, and in about 20 years their case finally reaches the courts and they go scot free or get convicted depending on whether the evidence was lost or not in that time.

Its not that we are jaded or anything. Ok..maybe a little bit. But I think its more to do with the Asian reserve and aversion to public displays of emotion. We have still much to learn from the west. If even one life is lost over there, you find demonstrations, vigils, public outcries etc. Not that we dont have public outcries out here, but it has more to do with the rising cost of living than anything else.

Hmmm..
