Yo! Ok I am finally back after 2 days.. Was kinda busy with my studies. I had absolutely no time to wander around the Dashboard at Blogger.com!
I have made a couple of new changes to the blog, while I was playing with the HTML codes - this afternoon. As you can see there is a TAG-BOARD on your right. Just scroll down the page and you will find the Tag-Board. Along with the taggy thingy, there is new column called LINKS too.
Ok then - that's it for now! Tata... This is Janice signing off for this evening! Good night *yawn*
Au revoir!
Teletubby says good night... Man! I love teletubbies...

I just finished watching the movie - Phir Milenge with my family. The movie is purely based on the dilemma of a HIV positive victim. It throws light on this very subtle topic.

There are more than 42 million people all over the world who are living with this deadly and incurable disease. Though India has become far much developed, there are still some people who have just no knowledge on this matter and consider HIV/ AIDS victims as"UNTOUCHABLES".

Few months back, there was this article in the local newspaper about a woman, living in a small village in Southern India. She was HIV positive and had passed it on to her small kids. The local school authorities refusedto let the kids enter the school premises. Moreover the parents of the children studying in that school refused to let the HIV positive kids study in the same school as with their children. They were afraid that their children would get infected by simplystudying and playing with the HIV positive kids, in the same school.

Isn't that a sign of ignorance?

This article, definitely, shook me from within. It's a disturbing fact that there are still more people in this world who simply have no idea about the cause and spread of this infection.

An HIV/ AIDS victim is just another human being. They have got equal rights just as a normalhealthy human being would have. They need love and affection, not rejection. They need someoneto stand by them and hold their hand at this crucial stage of their life.

Here is a list below that mentions everything about what all you CAN do when there is HIV patient sittingright besides you:

* You can touch the patient - there is no harm in doing that as long as there is no exchange of bodily fluids
*You can share the same plates and cups with the patient
* You can talk to the patient without keeping a hand over your mouth - the virus doesn't simply spread through air
*You can hug the patient - it will make them feel more better

Here is a 100 million dollar question :

Who said this famous line - "Listen to your wise old man! " ?

Can't guess it? Well it's none other than my old wise DAD. The line above is his favorite and it's often directed towards me. Aaaaarrrgghhhh!

Here is a treaty of DONTs (there is not a single DO) that has been officially prepared by the "tyrant" . Under force and pressure I am obliged to follow the rules

OK, so here goes the DONTs :

• Don't MARRY a mallu ( or known as 'loongi-wala' by my dad) - For all you people who have no idea what a mallu is, please feel free to contact my dad for further information. My dad has a strong grudge against these poor innocent people who have spread their colonies world-wide.
• Dont LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOW at 7am and 5pm - Well I have the habit of peeking out of the window at 7am in the morning and 5pm in the evening. But here again, HITLER (dad) ensures that the clothes are put out to dry on the cloth line to obstruct my view.
• Don't FALL IN LOVE before the end of the teen-age "19"
  
• Don't MARRY until I am 21

These are the awful conditions put before me and I have to follow 'em until my Prince Charming will come along one day and snatch me from the clutches of the tyrant ruler. MUHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!
