For all that Onkar, Sumedh and I discuss on the lunch table, dinner table, the corridors of MPI, the streets of Magdeburg, on the phone, and in the lift has had just one source : CNN. With all channels in german, but for the good ol' CNN, we are found watching the news for most part of our stay in the room. And then we discuss: did u see this? did u see that? That news reader is kinda hot. OOOOh!!! What time is she on? 8 AM. naah! Too early for me. What also at 2 in the night? Kwel! I'll check her out. And then back to what's happenning in Sudan, or the US playing with Iraq. No mention of Cricket, be it CNN World, or CNN Asia that we watch. CNN Europe is filled with useless news, other than that football hightlights.

A few months back I found it kinda shady when the "rich and pompus" talked about world(y) issues like Iraq, the US president, the Indian Markets, the Australian beaches, all this sitting in an English house, over some Brazillian coffee. And while they discussed such important topics, they didn't see their families breaking into pieces, their company's future doomed, and they turing into paupers in a few years down the line. But now that I do the same, I guess its not about "not thinking about personal stuff" but with too much time at hand, one does kinda start "worrying" about the world eh? :)
