India is an interesting place
Last year, Lakshmi Mittal who is an Indian steel tycoon spent US$60 million on his daughter Vanisha's wedding (to Amit Bhatia).
The wedding was held in France.
Now for some interesting facts to put it all into perspective.
- The average income in India is US$500 per year.
- What Mr Mittal spent on the lavish wedding could have employed 120,000 people for one year.
- The candles alone for the wedding parties cost US$250,000 alone
- Australia is providing A$10.2 million in aid to India over 2005-06 fiscal year.
- United States has committed nearly US$128 million to India in aid for fiscal year 2005.

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........
I was much better today. I had some of the cold cooked turkey for breakfast, and again for dinner. All the excitement last night must have been too much for me.
I spent most of the day napping on the couch and on my human's lap while we watched three more episodes of the very interesting Firefly series.
We even had a nap together on the couch in the afternoon.

no (as that was a TV show). there is a fly that is terrifying, called dragonflies. they attack people. stay away from the waterholes up north (well, as cats we are inclined not to venture too close anyway) as it is not just the crocodiles...
