"MYANMAR TIGHTENS ACCESS TO DISASTER ZONE"

screams the headline under cyclone news today...

"MYANMAR tightened access to the cyclone disaster zone Wednesday, turning back foreigners and ignoring pleas to accept the outside experts who could save countless lives before time runs out."

And death toll or missing people..can be more than 200, 000 by far...

And those who needed help..protection from probable infectious diseases that may break out under such ill conditions...food...a shelter over their heads...

"CHINA WARNS OF BURST DAMS AS QUAKE DEATH TOLL RISES TO 15, 000"

screams another headline...

* Death toll nearly 15,000, expected to rise
* 25,000 still buried in rubble
* 50,000 troops sent as search for survivors quickens
* Warnings of calamities from blocked rivers, strained dams
* Corruption watchdog vows to punish officials seen shirking rescue work
*Cost could reach $20b, says disaster modelling firm

A 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook the grounds of the growing economic lion just a few days after the cyclone swept clean the lands of Myanmar... Looking at these...Tsunami that happened in 2004 seems to pale in comparison. Human fragility...in the light of these natural disasters..who can claim now that humans are the best and in control of our fate and future?

Who... is/are to be blamed for such disasters? I'm sure humans too must have played a significant role in this...by causing the hole in the atmosphere, changing the climate yada yada yada..

And there the junta, playing hard to get.. how many more lives do they want to take in order to allow full international aid? They either abuse them or now..let them die, even during such trying periods.

Today I watched Ironman. Its awesome! Yet it reflected a stunning truth. Many times the weapons/inventions we had made are perhaps the very things that kill us. I drew some real life parallels from the movie like how we have destroyed the earth to such a large extent and we're now trying to make it up by doing the little that we can. But it seems too late.. the earth is already in a very bad shape when we realised it. Tony Stark had though his proud inventions that had contributed greatly to his country's army ended up discovering how these had turned ugly and destroyed millions of his own people and taken innocent lives. When he realised it, I guessed it was too late too.. and with his own strength..how was he able to pick up the already broken pieces? hmm... am i making sense here.. its late im tired.. haha k shd go slp now :X cannot contd alr :p
