Netanyahu is obstacle to peace says top Democrat Chuck Schumer as he calls for new Israeli elections | Chuck Schumer | The Guardian

…he said on the Senate floor on Thursday that the “Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past”.

Schumer said Netanyahu, who has long opposed Palestinian statehood, was one of several obstacles in the way of the two-state solution pushed by the US. He also blamed rightwing Israelis, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas.

Until they are all removed from the equation, he said, “there will never be peace in Israel and Gaza and the West Bank”…

लवेरिया / Lovaria – Kaushal Kishore

 

लानत है वैज्ञानिकों को जो करते हैं, 

रोज़ एक नई दवा का इजाद…

कभी चेचक, पोलियो, कभी मलेरिया,

लेकिन आज भी लवेरिया है लाइलाज…

🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Shame on those bright scientists, so astute and keen,

Inventing new cures to tackle diseases unseen…

Smallpox, polio, and malaria succumbed to their might,

Yet Lovaria remains incurable, an unyielding plight…

Automated calls. | Still normal.

What activities do you lose yourself in?

These days when you ring anywhere there can be an automated call handler, you keep holding and you keep holding. Number ten in the queue. It gets better, number five in the queue. Certainly getting better. Number one in the queue. Then I happen to look at the time on the phone- nearly fifteen minutes. Oh no it is my turn very soon. What did I ring up for- kitchen, water or electrics, which number was this for. I am sure they will say the company themselves.

How often does this happen these days? I tend to avoid ringing any of these kinds of number but then one day you will have to ring them as these chores need doing for the sake of the running of the house. Of course I too detest them.

Recently I had to send a patient to hospital, after getting through the queue it was time to get to the right person. Well, I gave up in the end. Patient was sitting in front of me and at least I had his sympathy. The phone music got us both calmed down and we decided to take a different route for patient care which was also safe.

Nothing much we can do about these issues of daily living. Best to keep smiling and be happy in every situation.
