Bloody hell- that's a crappy bout of luck.

But here's sending you lots of sunshine and good vibes to kick some good times your way and give the bad a bright kick up the arse.

This too, will pass!

on Indian women assaulted for leading Western lifestyle

India has come so far in so many ways but unfortunately it's only the very rich and the upper class and caste that enjoy any sort of freedom.

Cases like this aren't rare and that's the saddest thing. Go to any of the poorer areas and you'll find hundreds of incidences like this one.

Research how widows are still treated in parts of India, how being unmarried carries with it such a stigma that allows men to violate women's basic human rights.

Behind the glitz and glamour that the rich of India enjoy, the poor are the ones that suffer the most.

We can create an uproar but it has to be followed through with consistent lobbying of the government and financial aid to those organisations that are set up to fight against these injustices.

In a country of billions, it's very easy for these sorts of cases to fall into silent graves.

India is such an amazing place in so many ways, but the caste and class system, coupled with extreme poverty, lack of education, high level of corruption and exploding population make for a highly volatile environment for change to take place.

But it's so important to keep trying for even a drop in the ocean has the potential to create vast ripples!

Terrific post! I do hope this reaches the ears of everyone who want to make a difference!

Isn't that the truth heather! And you know what- that's sadly such a reflection of an aspect of Indian society. Superficial beauty there is regarded so highly and often totally eclipses beauty from within...but I guess that's also true for much of the world!

Good point! But I suppose sometimes even the best plots need a bit of added "oomph masala" to appeal to certain masses...and a beautiful woman certainly does the trick- even though it may not quite fit the character or situation.

The obession with "fairness" there is ridiculous...there are millions of Indians who are very light skinned and are actually not uncommon at all in the entertainment industry.

I need to go watch this film!

on Finding Out Your Dog Has Cancer

Hey Whitney,

I'm so sorry to hear this. My beautiful dog had cancer and passed away two years ago. He was with us for 15 years.

He developed one of the most violently agressive tumour's the very had ever seen- and within days of diagnosis, there was nothing we could do.

It's such a tough decision to make- for us, we tried everything we could and spent a small fortune, but in the end, even though he didn't make it, we were happy we tried.

I guess, you chosoe the option that has the best chance at saving her? At the same time, make sure she's in the least amount of pain if possible.

It must be so hard knowing she's still a baby. I really hope it all works okay for your little pup!
