Silica poisoning

yesterday i saw a programme on the slow death (real...not philosophical) being experienced by the poor workers and their families who are involved in silica stone grinding and cutting. The programme was on National Geographic. It was really pathetic the way the lives of so many people were being wasted little by little day after day. Once the disease i.e. silicosis sets in its a slow and painful death with NO KNOWN cure....

await your comments on whether anything can be done ....

Indian Cricket

Hi...
Lets talk about whats arguably the most loved, hated and discussed topic in india....
All of us have this wonderful obsession with cricket. We are cynical, interested, detached but at the same time ready with spot comments on anything and everything about cricket especially about the Indian cricket team.
When we won twenty20 our joy knew no bounds.
But when we lost the series to australia we were quick to blame the Indian team especially the selection, players who are past their prime (dravid, sourav and sachin) and also the exclusion of the key players who won the twenty20.

So what do u you think. Do post your comments.
