understanding yawning. link.

etymology of the word, understanding. my take is that, one gets a better view/comprehension of things when they stand underneath that object. ;-)

i'm tired of Pak's argument that they 2 r a victim of terrorism. the point i want 2 make is, that terrorism is not fermented in India or based out of Indian soil. 2 me, that's a huge difference. rather, it a bumper harvest of the seeds (crop) Pak had sown by allowing its land 2 b used 4 terrorist training camps and on account of ISI's involvement in nurturing these terrorist organizations.

if Pak cannot keep its house in order, India would b more than glad 2 help pursue those rogue/terrorist elements in its land. as simple as that. related link.
