Saddest Story

I know that I have been MIA, lately. Today is my first day off in nine days, so I thought I would chime in with the saddest story ever. Amanda comes tomorrow, so hopefully I will have more to say then.

Saddest Story: Newborn falls through train toliet

AHMADABAD, India (AP) — A newborn baby girl fell through the toilet in a moving train and onto the tracks moments after her mother prematurely gave birth, surviving nearly two hours before being found, relatives said Thursday.

The child’s mother, who uses the single name Bhuri, was traveling with relatives on an overnight train when she went to the bathroom shortly before midnight Tuesday and unexpectedly gave birth to a baby girl, said Arjun Kumar, her brother-in-law.

“Later, she fell unconscious and the baby fell through the toilet,” he continued. “Two stations later, we knocked at the door.”

Bhuri opened the door, soaked in blood.

“When we asked her about what happened, she said the baby had fallen through onto the tracks,” Kumar said.

Poor child. Not a very auspicious start to her young life.

Jodhaa Akbar

So, I went to see Jodhaa Akbar on Sunday, finally.  A combination of history and Bollywood, I love it!  The movie was very long, even by Bollywood standards, but 3 hours of Hrithik Roshan, and it seemed like 3 minutes.  I have a new favourite song, as well.  I can’t find the video from the movie, but here is the song with scenes from the movie.

The song is called “Khwaja Mere Khwaja” which I THINK roughly means “O Saint Khwaja”??  I had to look up the translations as it is in Urdu and Arabic.  What do you all think?
