MeMoneyAndLove @jaylar It means the leaders take certain decisions thanks to their ambitions or whatever may you call it. But it's the common man who has to bear the brunt of these decisions.

MeMoneyAndLove @jaylar There are a lot of things happening at the airports. And very few things generally come out. But in one sense, it's necessary from the security point of us well.

Very early in the morning when I woke up, I saw that it's 11th of September today. 9/11 that's what we call it. It was one of the blackest day for the entire US. It was a sad story. And the anniversary reminds us all of those...

MeMoneyAndLove Terrorism was taken seriously the world over. But the sad thing from India's point of view is that it needed the 9/11 attacks on the US to make them aware of what we have been suffering here for decades on end.

Curlann It’s hard when twins who are used to sharing everything suddenly have such different paths. Maybe the one who got rejected will find another opportunity just as good, even if it’s not in the US. Sometimes these things work out in unexpected ways.
