A Letter from Sendai, Japan

I came across this letter from a woman in Sendai Japan. It confirms reports from various other sources that the Japanese are dignified in the face of calamity. Something also tells me that these are signs that the world is changing for the better. A shift in our collective consciousness is taking place – I for one, am very glad! Have a read through the letter – it’s heartwarming. Anne, whoever you are – Godspeed to you and the people of Japan.

Will the Real Members of the Pretoria Hindu Seva Samaj Please Stand Up?

As I type this:
• youth in Bahrain are getting shot by their government;
• Muammar Gaddafi is about to launch an attack on Benghazi;
• Japanese fear being poisoned by radiation, after part of their country was literally wiped off the face of the earth.

Oh and one more thing: some of the members of the Executive Committee of the Pretoria Hindu Seva Samaj are, once again, embroiled in gutter politics!

Mary Keitany Shines at RAK Half Marathon

I woke up at 7:00am last Friday. Our hotel room at the Hilton hotel in RAK was stuffy. I had forgotten to turn our blasted air conditioner on the night before and I suffered as a result! Quickly realizing the time, I got ready and did the short walk to the starting line of the 2011 RAK Half Marathon, along with hubby and a friend.
