    Cheesy round-ups


    You know those last scenes in tv series like 'greys anatomy', 'Boston legal', 'scrubs',etc, that just make you want to cry. I was just watching season 1 episode 10 of boston legal and the most interesting part of the episode was that last cheesy line about death.
    At the end of the day, when you think about it, its 'who you love and not who loves you that is important'. I had a chat with a close friend of mine this morning, we have been fighting for the past two weeks and things have just been going from bad to worst. My complain was, I felt alone and rejected.
    Maybe what I was really feeling was myself slipping away from him. There's only so much you can take from friendship. Even when you promise all your affection to someone, when it rains and you get wet it just takes alot of time to get your clothes dry. Well enough of the banter.

    Earlier this week, the west celebrated the anniversary of slave trade.'Celebrated'if I must say. There were people on the streets of London holding placards saying Tony Blair should apologise for slave trade. apologise? pls tell me something that can really make sense.

    Although we don't legally have slave fairs, its still happening illegally. I mean if you really want to apologise for something, then let your actions show your thoughts. The wests glory today is founded upon slave blood. The tube stations, the planes, the roads, the buildings, technology etc.

    So if you really are sorry, then you can atleast give back some of your wealth to developing nations. now I am not talking about loans from the world bank. i am talking of setting up projects in countries. Its no secret the number of international students that come into the west yearly. In 2005 alone, there were 318,395 foreign students admitted into the UK.

    Now just for figures on average each student pays £10,000 imagine £3,183,950,000. I cant even say what the number is, I get lost after a million. This money on the other hand can be used to fund university's in developing countries so tht we can retain our students and also develop our education system. Sadly, some of these students do not return home after their education hence good qualification is lost to the west again.

    Have you seen 'blood diamond' you may think its fiction but if you take a deep thought it isnt. Such extremities are still in play today. Do shed some thoughts on this topic.
