Today I saw in our local India news paper that supreme court of India has given a verdict makes me feel different and think a lot on that. The verdict is that, there is no need to provide the compensation for the standing passengers who got hurt in a accident. Just wondering if a bus met with a accident (praying not to happen anywhere) who will notice that these passengers were sitting and these people were standing passengers. I believe everyone will be in a situation to save their life, dear onces or the neighbour. How this verdict will help people other than Insurance company.I understand if 90 people were travelling in a 40 people capacity bus then its easy to say it's overloaded. But individually how you identify these people are standing passengers? Strange...

UNO card game is a interesting game and everyone who is playing should be active in the game. You can't play it casually. You need to be active, accurate and watch closely. The most important thing is you need to guess what other colors your co-player is having in their hands. If you have more players then the game will be more interesting. Though it is a game, I feel it keeps you active and accurate. Usually we play this game for 2 hours. But yesterday we played for 3 hours and it went very fast. More info on UNO game.
