Whenever I read that a kid killed his/her parents, it really disturbs me. I can not understand what causes a kid to get upset so badly as to kill his/her parents.
A 15 year old boy called Nicholas Browning from Cockeysville, Md is charged with killing his parents and two younger brothers. He apparently shot them as they slept, then returned a day later after spending time with friends to stage the discovery of their deaths. I can not imagine any reason big enough to cause anyone to kill his/her parents and siblings. It is totally devastating.

Baba Amte passes away
Great social worker and reformer Baba Amte, who spent his life serving leprosy patients and working for their rehabilitation, passed away at 4.15 a.m. on Saturday.
Baba Amte was born on 26 December 1914 in a wealthy family of landlords of Hinganghat in Wardha district of Maharashtra. But as a child he used to play with children of other castes and eat with servants.
He founded a commune called Anandvan Ashram for them at Warora where he began practising law. Soon his work spread to over 60 villages around and other parts of Maharashtra.
Baba went to the Kolkata School of Tropical Medicine and learnt how to treat the leprosy patients with the drug diamino-diphenyl sulphone. But above all he educated society to remove the stigma of the disease that had made the life of the patients so miserable.
He received many awards, including Padma Shree, Padma Vibhushan, Gandhi Peace Prize, Dr. Ambedkar International Award, Ramon Magsaysay, and Templeton Prize.

Picture of the week - "Sideways Bike"
The inventor Michael Killian says, ‘Front to Back balance has very little visual input and is the primary balance used in riding a surfboard, windsurfer and snowboard. Front to Back balance is a finer instrument than Left to Right balance and offers a greater degree of artistic feedback. This is evidenced by the difference between skiing and snowboarding. Skiing (Left to Right balance) is faster than Snowboarding (Front to Back balance)’ . This bicycle is ridden sideways and is balanced by using human Front to Back balance. This bicycle uses Front and Rear steering.
