Sad Beginnings, Happy Endings

Today, 85 school children died in a fire in Tamilnadu. All their, and their parent's dreams burnt in that fire. The beginning of their journey into the world ended when they gulped in last breath of monoxides. Sad end to a cheerful beginning. This shows why india's famous for its reputation. Nobody cared to complain about the conditions earlier. And why only talk abt that region, India's capital is no better. Nowhere in Delhi schools, have I found any fire escapes, or any drills being carried out to avoid so. You educate us all of Quantum Physics, Programming, etc so that we run out for glorious careers and can't educate on how to even protect ourselves???

Other than that, my heart went out to Hannah Foster's parents and the effort they made to hunt out Maninderpal Singh Kohli (for the uninformed, she was raped and murdered by this man, who later ran away to india, and then girl's parents had approached indian police after an yr for help. within days of their arrival, the support of local authorities, acelerated by the Rs. 5000000 prize amount - big big deal - got them the killer). I can't imagine anything less than life imprisonment for him. I'd give him a death sentence. We can really do without such people. Lay off protestors of "Death Terms".
