Leadership makes all the difference ..

Anuradha Koirala, 2010 CNN Hero of the year !

When the 2010 CNN Hero of the Year Award was conferred on Anuradha Koirala of Nepal for saving more than 12,000 girls from the evils of "human trafficking", the audience stood, in respect, for the whole duration of her speech.

https://youtu.be/gKzDtYJR2b4

https://youtu.be/tH-EBU8aHYo

Here is "Goddess in Flesh " .. Truly "a saint of the brothels"

Which religious leader can come anywhere near to the goodness of this elder sister to 12,000 girls  !!

George ..

The war ravaged Syria and the extreme pain ..

The image that shook the conscience of the world.. 

Syrian boy, a bubbly young Alan Kurdi and his brother Ghalib along with their mom were drowned while trying to escape the ravages of a war-torn Syria to settle in Canada... A pained and totally devastated father who has no words. 

Attention refocusses on a war-torn Syria and the plight of refugees who want to escape the fighting ! When will Basher Assad give in and finish this blood shed ?

Human pain of death and separation of near and loved ones is same everywhere, very very agonising, traumatic, heartbreaking, gutwrenching, disquieting, harrowing and disturbing ....  Lets pray for the souls ..
