The heritage....

i was taken aback, albeit on a positive note, by this news in a national daily.. a prominent US colonel who was in charge of military operations in Iraq takes initiatives and is the sole driving force behind a mission to retrieve Bagdad's ancient treasures looted from the world famous museum...

it all started when a bold british journalist charged at him saying that he should be bold enough and determined to bring back those invaluable pieces back to the museum rather than crushing innocent victims to pieces.. he took her word, and is now leading that mission to bring the history and culture back in place.. collecting antiques from anyone/everyone who owns it, whether they have looted or purchased from a wayside vendor.. from places as far as syberia to tokio to the rustic market places in old delhi.. and this indeed is an achievement... i salute you colonel...

so long

Hi Roy,

Searching all over the web for ages and then ... I come across your blog. Good to read different views on parenting!

I have enjoyed reading The heritage..... Your thoughts and ideas have also energized me to continue looking for different perspectives on single parenting for a project I am doing. Thanks.
Wishing you a nice day.

Hi Roy, I've been hunting for some good sites about "parenting tips ". I found this site on parenting tips , which had some interesting articles, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. And then I came across your "The heritage....". Some interesting thoughts there! So I thought maybe you might have some ideas on good sites to visit? I'll come by again to see. Well, either way I shall be back to read more.
