It is a time of pain for many... A time to remember those who innocently lost their lives in the tragic terrorist attack on the World Trade Center eights years ago to the date! Consider for a moment the anguish the family of those who were lost may be experiencing today...
Our prayers and thoughts go out to them...
In a time when the world is racing towards what seems like doom, with mounting pressures of global warming; constant terrorist attacks, wars, chemical warfare, varying strains of viruses, poverty and HIV/ AIDS - we still have amongst us those who are so uncomfortable in their own skin that their sole purpose is to anonymously attack others. While constructive criticism is welcomed by open-minded individuals, there are those who will never be content with their own existence and will constantly try to bring others down to their level of mere existence! Please... if you cannot laugh at yourself, go jump off the Twin Towers - oh wait a minute, another with your same mentality already destroyed it!!!!!
Its been a week of meetings, changes "YES WE CAN" - and I am delighted that finally somebody is sticking their neck out and taking charge, seeking accountability and laying the foundation for a radio station which lets face it - has been the brunt of bad news in the print media for a past several months.
So BLADE- ZN ought to be the numberplate of a new ministerial BMW! Car manufacturers are certainly not complaining... Politicians are trying to substantiate such a purchase, "Look, its a high risk vehicle, we just want to inspire South Africans to drive more luxury German cars and not have to worry about being hi-jacked"said one spokesperson. Ahem - is there not a police escort when these cars are on route to and from 'meetings'???? Or were all that blue light stories from the past just another reason for some of the pathetic newspapers in this country to sell more copies?
The Minister has gone on to say, unofficially of course that driving a beemer is like ABC...
A = ANC
B = BMW
C = Communist Party...
Castor Semenya's recent front cover appearance on You mag has inspired her so much that she is now considering Cosmo, Huisgenoot and Sports Illustrated.... Is it to make up for the report this week that she was broke? Why does she not sell the free house which she got?
This is not over.... gotta run, another meeting has just come up!!!! I got to go sing the theme song for the TURNAROUND STRATEGY- you may have heard it before, Ace of Base- "Don't turn around, I dont want you to hear me on air!!! Just walk away and leave the radio set on..."
Peace
Just wanted to quote a poem by the greatest Indian poet, philosopher, and Nobel laureate , Rabindranath Tagore. This poem is from Gitanjali, literature of Mr.Tagore. Offering of Songs, published in English in
ReplyDelete1910. But so apt for today's world. Thanx Rakesh for inspiring all of us . here's the poem called "Where the mind is without fear"......
"Where The Mind is Without Fear"
"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake."
Om shanti!!!!!
