SARS causative agent confirmed
[Misc.] @ 01:15 PM

The causative agent for SARS has been confirmed as a coronavirus that has never been seen in humans (conspiracy theory raises its ugly head?). Now that we have the culprit, I really hope the scientists can come up with diagnostic kits and cure for the patients. Only then will people here breath or cough properly!

Nice poem
[Literature] @ 11:32 AM

Just glanced on a poem by a guy named Alok at Rediff's Message board. It goes:

Child of war

You bring me love on the wings of a tomahawk
You bring me freedom in chains.

I should wave my hand in praise
But now I have no hands to raise.

I have no feet to walk the miles
Why, I have even lost my smiles.

Orphaned in one flash of your giant might
Co-lateral damage, you call my plight.

My history trampled beneath your boot
You lay waste my treasures, for loot.

And still you ponder
Why I wave no star-spangled banner?

I cannot, I shall not, I have not the will
For and my throat is parched and my spirit hungers still.

It kind of reflects my opinion on the war.
