africa.
two happy things happened this morning.
first.my sis made me breakfast. i mean..happy thing is that i don't have to make breakfast. second. i reached into the gummy bear jar and got the blue-green bear. im happy cos i Always. get the red or yellow ones.

watched tv. had breakfast. noticed national geog.'s sept issue has arrived,so brought it in and read it as my com was doing some crap scan. sometimes i hate computers. don't know if i've told anyone before, but, its a promise made to myself that in my entire life, i shall make at least a trip to africa. seriously, the trip to india made me realise that trips made for tourism is really quite meaningless sometimes. though i still enjoy shopping and so on...i want to get to africa and just get my hands a lil' dirty.

the pics in the special issue were really gd. i looked thru everyone, but this one struck me the most. something besides the usual skinny, big bellied kid with that pleading, accusing, hopeless stare.


even modest prosperity is rare in zambia
it just "proves in a concrete way the intangible quality of jealousy, which pervades all spheres of Zambian society, and is a trait -sometimes the only one- sincerely integrated by expatriates" - nat. geog. nothing's secure, nothing's guranteed. no one promises them survival. are they wrong to be jealous, are they wrong to vent their anger on any more prosperous then them. what's 'prosperity'.
