November Medley - Bharat Ratna, National River, Half-White House
A decade from now, this is how I wish to remember November 5 of a certain year. "1. The Government announced the award of Bharat Ratna to Pandit Bhimsen Joshi . The newspapers gave him a 1/2 inch space. No channel resounded with his music. A kid's voice could be heard - Who is he , mom? (Image from India Today site) Salutations to the Maestro. 2. The Ganga has been declared as National River. Best wishes to the Ganga River Basin Authority - may they work with sincerity of purpose to stop pollution and degradation. The newspaper allowed Ganga to take up a little more space. Perhaps one can feel much happier when listening to Bhupen Hazarika's Ganga behti ho kyon 3. (The thought occured that) the White House in a certain Nation could be renamed a Half-White House. The newspapers and the channels went disproportionately overboard." Image from infoplease.com
