Its so heart-breaking to see young children dying of hunger,losing parents ,and struggling for existence,in fact the black hands of destiny.



One of the Pulitzer award winning picture I came across was soooooo heart-breaking that it never disappears from my mind.
In 1994, Kevin Carter won the Pulitzer prize for a photo showing a vulture stalking an infant girl in Sudan.
" PULITZER PRIZE " winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine.
The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.
The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.
Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.

A slice of life

Life is like a bank account.We will get out of it only what we put into it.Although we put the very best of our efforts into it,life turns up to us in a tragic way in the form of bereavement.Loss of a loved one is something we all human beings don't wish to accept,well...........that's life;the true pranks of life.

God is great!HE gives us not what we want;but what we need!His signature in all His creations is marvelous,with man being the best gifted with the power of intelligence.Man has gone so far from the stone age to the present world of daily developments.

But the great times God gives us in life are to be treasured as well.Even the innocent smile of a baby to the achievement of a professional career make us happy.Life is always a complex situation,tangled up with joys &sorrows.

The best way to be happy is to accept things that come in our way,to consider it as a token from God,to believe that it is for our best &to live with it.
