The mid-day meal

The mid-day meal

“..but more importantly, while the governments in the west agonize over what to do about nutrition for kids, India has actually gone ahead and done something about it.” (From the docu film “India’s Free Lunch“.

As Madhukar Shukla said in Facebook while sharing this video link – “mostly noted when a report of a lizard comes in news, the funds get diverted, or scam hits the scheme, India’s Mid-Day Meal scheme has gone largely unnoticed for the positive impact it has made to many young lives.

The ‘Trailer’ of 26/11

Dan Reed’s documentary on 26/11 terrorist attacks on Mumbai has been aired on Britain’s Channel 4 just a few days ago. The documentary has original CCTV footage, survivors and police accounts, telephonic conversations between the terrorists and their masterminds, and Kasab’s testimony.

“This is just a trailer,” the controller in Pakistan warns. “Wait till you see the rest of the film…”
