Superman! Where are you?
We look beyond the boundaries of our own villages, towns and cities for heroes only to find that they were around us all the time. They shaped our lives yet, we gave it to others who we have never and will never meet.

House Demolitions!
In the first year of the Al Aqsa Intifada alone (Sept 2001 – 2002) over 9,000 homes were demolished, making 40,000 Palestinians homeless. Ismail A Patel. Palestine. Beginner’s Guide. Page 192
DUPLICITY

Chasing Shadows.
Mr.C.Watsa:”Yawar when you walk down a poorly lit road at night, sometimes you see shadows which look frightening. But if you keep on walking you come to the shadow and realise that it is only a light pole or something like that. The shadow looked frightening but the reality is something we with everyday.” Actual quote of teacher to pupil.

Faugh!
Faugh is an expression of disgust and befitting on the lips when you see how people get away with murder! Other expressions of vulgarity have no refinement because its dirty as the crime.

Noisome! Sri Lanka on Cremations…
Hatred fuels the fires of hell and torture kindles hatred. Why would human right violations be the order of the state when peaceful alternatives are vivid as the rising sun? Because of Power! ‘Absolute power corrupts absolutely.’
