harsh realities
Hm. Some things I wanted to touch upon in this entry are things that I've been thinking about for some time now. I've been attended domestic violence counselor training every Saturday and Monday for three weeks now because I am working to become a state certified counselor for non-profit organizations.

Yeah, I agree with what you say about disciplining your child. Kids can be a big handful sometimes (I learned that while volunteering at a daycare) and it would come to the point where I had to grab their arm, drag them up into a standing position and drag them to a corner.

Just yesterday, I read about a case in which a 15 year old was killed by a former boyfriend in another school around here. He killed himself after, too.
Isn't there quite a variation in skin tone across the subcontinent though?
Oh yeah. There's brown as in almost-looking-black and then there's brown like dark-tanned brown. Fairer skinned people ARE seen as more beautiful but those kinds of people are very rare. All the art, movies, etc. only display the idealized "Indian", and it's not necessarily reality.
I just tend to shy away from having strong opinions on things I don't know much about.
I think that's a very good way to be because judging things before you even know them is a really, really stupid things to do. Yeah, what you say is very true and that made me feel loads better because, to put it bluntly, you're right. :)
And that sounds like a very interesting and deep book. Yep. *nods*
