Indians find U.S. at fault for food cost.
Pradeep S. Mehta, secretary general of the center for international trade, economics and the environment of CUTS International, an independent research institute based here, said that if Americans slimmed down to the weight of middle-class Indians, “many hungry people in sub-Saharan Africa would find food on their plates.”
The United States uses — or throws away — 3,770 calories a person each day, according to data from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization collected in 2001-3, compared with 2,440 calories per person in India. Americans are also the largest per capita consumers in any major economy of the most energy-intensive common food source, beef, the Agriculture Department says.
And the United States and Canada lead the world in oil consumption per person, according to the Energy Information Administration, an Energy Department agency.

It was exam time and I don't know why, I badly wanted to watch some really good romantic movies. So, as usual I check the internet for best romantic movies list. Here are the ones I watched in the past couple of weeks:
By the way I haven't stopped watching romantic movies so if you guys have any suggestion please let me know.
1. City of Angels(1998)I had already watched some of the movies those websites suggested like Sleepless in Seattle, Titanic, When Harry met Sally...I didn't watch those again. I wanted to put my own short reviews about these six movies but then these are all kind of old ones so no point in me doing it.
2. The Notebook(2004)
3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind(2004)
4. Casablanca(1942)
5. Love Story(1970)
6. The Holiday(2006)
7. Pride & Prejudice(2005)

A New York Times article: The Rise of Obama.
After reading the article I had the same feeling - were the authors trying to make him look good or were they smearing him?...I'm not sure.
Still, Mr. Khalidi said ascertaining Mr. Obama’s precise position was often difficult. “You may come away thinking, ‘Wow, he agrees with me,’ ” he said. “But later, when you get home and think about it, you are not sure.”

Good to see women getting some space in this male dominated world. As many others I too believe gender should not be the criterion for selecting a person to a post rather, it should be one's merit.

Heh.
Man!...that would be really distracting to me...I'm thinking of the dementors in Harry Potter!
The cheerleaders of Deccan Chargers and Knight Riders were seen with their bodies fully covered. Even the dancers and singers, who entertained the spectators before the start of the match, were fully covered.So are they going to wear burqa and dance?!
Pakistan's Shahid Afridi, who is playing for Deccan Chargers, had also raised an objection to the cheerleaders' performance during the matches saying it would distract the players.
