Girls ditch grooms in parched Gujarat villages…
Rajkot: A number of eligible bachelors in the drought-struck Dedan village near Amreli district of the Saurashtra are ruing their luck. The acute water crisis here has cast a dark cloud over their chances of getting married. Parents of many brides-to-be have broken off their daughters' engagement with at least four young men in the village of around 12,000 in the past couple of months. The reason is that they don't want their daughters to walk a minimum of 5km daily8 just to fetch drinking water.
(Me: A heart-wrenching double whammy, indeed...)

Fact of the matter…
The earliest recorded mention of a disease that can be recognized as diabetes is found in the Ebers papyrus (1500 BC), which includes directions for several mixtures that could 'remove the urine, which runs too often.
(Me: It is always science or more correctly, scientists that actually discover or detect a disease and then an antidote for it. Belief in God is only a matter of faith and He doesn't exist; if He did, people wouldn't have dropped dead very young, apparently for no reason but actually for some yet undetected/undiscovered disease. At the turn of 20th century (that post 1899), the world population stood at 3 billion and barely 110 years later we are 7 billion, thanks only to modern wonder drugs. Some educated guy foolishly argued that anything pest-resistant isn't good to human beings either: if that is the case why do we use insecticides to kill the mosquitoes or pesticides to rodents, menaces to the very existence of human beings. Since the body constituents of every human is unique, most medicines may not suit every individual and that's why the leaflets that accompany the drugs come with contraindications and who should not use them or what precautions they should take. It may not be noted that this isn't the case with the alternative therapies whose practitioners claim – falsely of course – that these have no side effects or cause reaction on ANYONE)

Tweet of the day: "The DMK's first family buys an IPL team with a Sri Lankan captain but is against SL players in IPL. OnlyinIndia"
"A referendum should be conducted among Tamils in Sri Lanka and across the world. UN should also adopt a resolution" – J. Jayalalithaa for a referendum on separate Eelam.
("Nations have only permanent interests, not permanent friends or foes" is an old saying. Saying holds true for politicians, as well: they keep making politically-correct statements for public consumption that determines their very survival in business, and quietly do something else where their personal wealth is involved.
Taking Amma's cue, one may ask, why not a similar referendum in Karnataka over the sharing of waters with its neighbor and in Kerala over the Mullaperiyar dam issue)
