Int'l Day for the Eradication of Poverty
Eradication of poverty... It sounds quite cynical to me. How can we eradicate poverty when we praise owning more than sharing, when we worship the rich and pity the poor?

About love
Is there an end to sorrow? Put this question seriously to yourself. Because where there is sorrow there cannot be love. There can be sympathy, pity, tolerance, empathy but generosity, pity, sympathy is not love. Love may contain all that but the parts don’t make the whole.
J. Krishnamurti

Free Tibet
For a change, the leading music of the month is not a Indian or Bollywood music, but a techno music I've heard last week in a workshop. I've been obsessed by this music all week, and finally here it is. It's called Free Tibet, and is somehow a different version of the Om Mani Padmi Hum mantra.
