Good read

Walking down the aisle, I saw her in her best blue dress. Coyingly calling me to reach out to her and hear her story. See what she had to show about "The End to Poverty: Economic possibilities for our time". Its authored by Jefferey Sachs. It may seem quite verbose at a first glance, but he has done a good job of keeping the theory stuff out of it. I am yet to get to the chapter where he actually mets out his advice. But a good long read even for those philanthropic ones.

Quote of the Day

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.
