China vs India

China touches fifty. So does India. For China, it was their best Olympics. India too, never had it better. And for the first time, I can understand why people talk about China and India being competitors for world domination.

Fight for Life.

Niketa and Haresh Mehta were told by their gynaecologist that the fetus Niketa has been carrying for 25 weeks has complete heart blockage and malpositioned arteries that could require a pacemaker implantation soon after birth. The couple had to make a choice. Go on with the pregnancy and deliver the child. What follows is a life that will consist of the three people coming in and going out of hospitals. Mounting financial pressures and mean world to face. Which gets meaner if it smells a weakness in your life. There is no denying the fact that with a child like that you are faced with taunting relatives, a oblivious government and not so understanding society.
