Dozens of plastic bags said to contain the remains of aborted foetuses and newborns have been found in a pit in eastern India.
Officials said the grisly find was probably the result of an underground abortion racket involved in the killing of unborn or newborn girls. India loses an average of 7,000 girls a day through abortions because of a traditional preference for sons, accordingly to a Unicef report last year.
Police said they had followed up the discovery with raids on several private medical clinics in the district to investigate if they were carrying out large-scale abortion of female foetuses.

Haiz, this is definitely a sad figure, an average of 7,000 girls are aborted daily.

Nvm, for those who read the Comics, Peanuts (got characters like Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Woodstock etc), you might remember Linus van Pelt who is almost never without his blue blanket (or one of several), which he holds over his shoulder while sucking his thumb. It was in fact he who coined the term "security blanket."
Still cannot remember, okok the character beside Snoopy in this image: -
Hehe, why am I talking about this... Because my brother also has his SECURITY BLANKET

9 years ago, on 04 July 1998, we were at National Stadium; we sat beside each other for 2 hours during the last event. At that time, I thought it could only be our last chance seeing each other…
I held an umbrella, shielding both of us from the scorching sun, watching the parade in discomfort. I turned towards you, realizing you are perspiring very badly, gave you a piece of tissue, then suddenly you started to nose bleed.
At that moment, I did not know whether to laugh or to sympathize you. I quickly offered you my packet of tissue and you rushed to the washroom to cool down and clean up.
Unfortunately the parade ended before you had time to come back, we couldn’t exchange contact numbers. I thought the opportunity was gone, luckily my friend managed to get your friend’s contacts and through them, we kept in touch.
It took a lot of my courage before I was able to call you, and started our telephone conversations.
You sang songs to me during our conversations, there was once I actually chatted with you for 1 hour using the school public phone, you sang All I Want Is You by 911, I was happy beyond words then.
I remember our first outing at Tampines Mall, Long John Silver. You gave me a treat although you had limited pocket money.
But all these had to end, I went to continue my studies, I had lesser time for you, you became busier with schoolwork too.
Our last telephone conversation, you told me that you had a girlfriend in school, I wished you well, after all you are 3 years younger and I didn’t expected it to last.
Actually last weekend supposed to have no activities… wanted to meet up gang for Kelvin’s birthday celebration, but after asking 6 person, 4 are unable to make it, so without waiting for the other 2 replies, I decided to cancel the dinner on Friday night…
Then last minute on Friday, Kt smsED me wanna meet up… At first he was supposed to go chalet, but I don’t know why he changed his mind… so we arranged to meet James who apparently seems quite lonely recently (no gf mah then keep going Farmart for Red Wine, think they went there for 3 consecutive weeks…) Because they took so long to prepare to meet me, (I was super hungry plus just had an gastric attack the previous night) they treat me eat… LoL…
Ate Sting Ray with rice, then taken some French Fries and I still had 3 scoops of ice cream… The waiter was so surprised when I said I alone want 3 scoops… Haha…
Oh, also saw 2 poly course mates… I was walking towards the table, then I realised how come this person on the next table look so familiar… Haha, then I realised is WeiQing, who happened to be my 702 West Coast neighbour (actually we don’t know each other, till poly then realised we are actually ex-neighbours, and we have a mutual friend, his secondary school classmate, my poly classmate, ZJ)
Then was there till around 1plus, oh ya, please remember to use insect repellent if you are planning to go there… I got 3 bites… sianED…
Saturday, went to celebrate Grandma’s birthday with courtesy to Aunt Alice for the buffet… Hehe, actually I also think the previous one (Mother’s Day Celebration) was nicer, but since it’s free, cannot complain lah… LoL, but I love the Strawberry Cheesecake from Crystal Jade, very nice… Yummy Yummy!!
6 of us (Dajie, Joey, Ernest, Stanley, Roderick and Me), went to AMK Hub, 3 girls went for some shopping first, I bought another pair of shoes, and it’s cheap wor, $19.90 only… Mondo is cheap and fashionable lor… Hehe, I used to visit the Far East Outlet, and I seldom leave the shop without buying anything… Joey also bought a pair, we got the same pair but different colour, me as usual Black Shoes, and Joey as usual, White Shoes… LoL
Then the boys went to play pool first… Haha… we joined them later, and we won 2 rounds because the boys prod the black (last) ball into the wrong outlet…
Sunday, woke up with 3 enormous mosquitoes bite from Farmart… Saturday the bites are there but not that swollen lor… seems like got infected or whatever… The biggest bite has a diameter of 6cm… OMG, painful plus itchy… applied some medicine, 2 swelling has gone down, but the biggest one (think too poisonous liao) have not… and I still have some crystallization of the fluid from the bites… so I actually have 3 red swollen bites on my leg… Sad…
Later on is as per normal my Jogging Day, but my 2 cousins Roderick and Bryan decided to join us (they stay Serangoon lor) at CCK… we played Basketball first (I’m not good in it, I’m short and old, disadvantage lor, haha) then went to jog 2 rounds at the Park… Now having some body aches especially my arms (due to the throws)…
We continued with Mahjong at around 8pm.. Haha… played till 10plus then it’s time to go back home… Another bonding day… LoL, we have plans to go Swimming and Bowling on Saturday or Sunday… Haha… the More the Merrier… maybe few years later, we cousins can go holidays lor…
I'm the type who sits inconspicuously in the back of the room at any gathering seldom approaching someone first. Luckily I'm loyal to my friends and share the pain with them when they are experiencing the blues and lastly I don't like to engage in arguments. That's one thing that would make me really upset..
