I remind young people everywhere I go, one of the worst things the older generation did was to tell them for twenty-five years “Be successful, be successful, be successful” as opposed to “Be great, be great, be great”. There’s a qualitative difference.

merosezah asked: Hey, Haven't seen you on my dash for a while . I hope everything is fine.

Not to worry! I’ve been in India the past month and before that I was interning at Al Jazeera so I haven’t been able to post as much as I’d like. No worries though, I’ll be back in the states next Tuesday and I’ll be sharing a wholeeee lot about events/current affairs/standing issues within India …all things that I’ve been able to research first hand during my time here. Thanks for the concern though, if you ever need to reach me about issues or want to share information my email is udit.thakur@student.american.edu

Cya!

To everyone who has been critical of Al Jazeera English’s coverage of the chaos in Bahrain…I give you the long awaited documentary on the Bahraini people’s struggle for equality and freedom-

” Bahrain: Shouting in the Dark”

Bahrain, we have not forgotten you…Al Jazeera English remains a “Voice for the Voiceless”…they only apologize that it has taken us longer than they would have liked.

Freedom lives on in our hearts so long as we see injustice and feel our spirit rise in protest.
