2. We the international community can just condemn on bombings and civilian deaths being reported daily
from syrian land. With the peace process stalled, difficult to see any progress towards ending the syrian
conflict, now in its seventh year. Syrians, indeed are paying a heavy price of this destruction with
damascus, homs and aleppo facing an uncertain future. How will the syrians heal from this utter
devastation. Um Saswan, a teacher, sadly put forth put forth her view stating “I feel i am living in the old
arabic saying, ‘we accepted hell, but hell did not accept us,’”. “We are falling into an abyss, when a citizen
can’t feel at home in their own country.”
a country desperate to move on, to reconcile, to be normal.
praying & hoping 2018 is end of it all.

3. ‘I tell a story with images relating to the moment of history’. Benetton’s controversial art director is back with his campaign -
an image of 28 schoolchildren in an Italian primary school, all from different ethnicities, all wearing benetton, reading
pinocchio with their teacher. In an increasingly divided society, here’s his comment on multiculturalism and immigration.
“There were 28 schoolchildren from 13 different countries, and four different continents,” says Toscani. “They studied
together, they were educated together and they will shape future society.” November 2017, Oliviero Toscani got a second
chance to be part of Benetton brand. He was art director from 1982 to 2000 when he was asked to leave.
Toscani is right. We live in diverse world. Am different from you. You are different from me.
We are different from each other in several ways be it different religious beliefs, different political beliefs, different
languages, different gender, different ways of dressing, different cuisine, different habits and aspirations, different
ethnicity. Diversity is natural. As we move into the society & become part of this global world, the more we need
to embrace this difference and appreciate our uniqueness.
Need of hour is to be tolerant of each other needs for peaceful co-existence.

4. Putin & Xi say Trump is unnecessary provoking
Kim. Japan & S.Korea are stressing. Can all the
parties not get on table and avoid another major
conflict.
Can we the world really afford a war? A nuclear
chemical war. A world war 3, possibilities are so
high. There are already wars going on for few
years in some of the countries which had been
prosperous. Iraq war was a mistake; Syria war is a
mistake; fighting in yemen is mistake – war in any
form is a mistake than why get into it.
In an article published in Newsweek magazine,
reporter states ‘The recent tensions have led some,
including Russia, to fear that war is on the horizon.
Experts have warned a conflict between the U.S.
and North Korea would be ‘very bloody’. As many
as 300,000 could die within the first few days of
such a conflict, even without the use of nuclear
weapons, according to a recent assessment from
congressional Research service.
By the time you read this, hope some dialogue is
initiated.

5. The Rug transformed, the plaza’s granite pavement into a
fresh autumn playground. According to the information plaque
installed at the plaza, ‘the decontextualization of the space will
immediately surprise. It would be shocking to see people
sunbathing in this place’. The installation was till Oct 1, 2017.
Well, that’s the magic of green!!

6. Look closely, bit dizzy. You are looking at a Graveyard of 23000+ Bikes dumped on the school grounds.
Well, in a process to make cities more environmental friendly, Cycling is being promoted worldover. Bike
sharing concepts have popped up in eco-conscious cities, meeting some success in cities like Paris, London
But for Hangzhou (China), population 9 million, this has created more problems. With 3 main bike sharing
companies going bankrupt, future of dockless bicycles is under a cloud amid concerns there are too many
bikes and not enough demand. What a waste of resources !!
