The headlines

Hunting banned from midnight. (They can train their hounds to chase fox and other animals, the animals can take part in the hunt, they can do everything what they did before in the name of sport, but they can't let the hounds kill the animals. The more humane way, apparently is to shoot the poor defenceless animal quivering with fright somewhere in a cold English wood. That's what I understand of the new law, and it has made hunting fans furious. Calls for defiance are out already.

Come to think of it, the animal might die of sheer terror before the gunshot ever hits it. And they call it sport.)

A lost city found post Tsunami. (The sea returns what it takes away. Might take centuries, but it gives back.)

Charles and Camilla - change of wedding venue annoys Queen (does anybody care?)

A wedding gift from the amazing dabbawallah's of Mumbai for the royal wedding. (Imagine Camilla in a nine-yard saree...might look better than a wedding dress surely..)

Rabri and the vamp make news. I prefer the vamp.

Britain supports India's bid to be a member of the UN security council, but is not very enthu about granting us veto powers.

More professionals joining the Catholic priesthood in India. (I wanted to, too, but they wouldn't let me stay in the seminary.)

In other news, India-Pak seem to be singing 'yeh dosti...' these days, Amisha Patel snaps all ties with her family, Gutkha is banned (is it effective? Tell me, MW's!), there's talk of an eastern coastline from Colaba to Wadala which I'm sure will not happen in my lifetime atleast......

On the personal front, Mr.R and I am relieved that our (few) house hunting days are over (for now). We're moving (a bit) closer to London, where Mr.R's taking up a new job. Finally decided on a place to rent for now and we'll move end of the month. A new place, a new job, places to go, people to meet, hills to climb (our new place is on a hill - easy weight loss!)

Tonight we're off to hear a Nat Cole concert locally. Promises to be fun. The world goes on. Hope you are having a good time too :)
