A page to share random musings... an odd butterfly fluttering around.. a rare bloom to talk about... my next trip to plan... and yes, the new maid has joined! A page belonging to an author, a traveller, a compulsive decision maker of late... do keep dropping in to catch up on some gupp-shupp with me and do be prepared to put up with some anaap-shnaap rantings too :D

What arrogance!
I was thumbing through an old issue (December 29, 2008-January 5, 2009) of the Time news magazine today and came across something unusual in the 'Inbox'(letters to the editor....................................
Let me reproduce it verbatim:
"SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: In The World, a map that accompanied an item about outsourced farming in Asia misidentified Indonesia as Philippines and vice versa (December 8.)."..............................................................
One may laugh over the mistake- (though I am not sure that many Americans would laugh if, say the USA was identified in a map as Venzuela and vice versa!) but what really shocked me was the utter casualness in dealing with the mistake. No expression of apology or regret- not even saying a simple sorry.
What arrogance!
