k this is a reply to neela's post.. ya as i was saying.. the lifespans of impoverished people has gone up.. definitely.. coz of availability medicines and stuff.. all those things we learnt in geography in secondary school.. but u know.. well-to-do people.. isn't it true that more people are dying of heart attacks and all today? generally speaking.. and lifespans, i feel, are getting shorter.. they fall ill at younger ages.. young meaning 70s.. like my mom's thatha passed away when he was 90.. that's the youngest to die when compared to his generation.. but after that, my amma's p'ppa and appa's p'mma passed away in their late 70s.. ok i'm only talking abt my family here.. but i don't really have that many people to compare with.. and this is too morbid for me to discuss.. but ya, i guess it's true.. for Virtue and Leadership, that loosufied USP module, we had to read the Holy Bible for our first essay.. i that, (only from genesis coz that's all i read :p) the mortals used to live for like 700 years and stuff! i think abraham lived for 100-odd or 200 years.. can't remember.. and moses was lesser.. i think he passed away in his early 100s.. so even there the lifespan decreases.. this eschatology says 30 years will be the final lifespan of humans.. wow.. can't imagine.. but never mind.. i was discussing this with amma.. she only told me to read the article (where do i read the newspaper? *embarrassed*) so that's why all these comments..

just DHANDAMA watched anniyan.. even though i've already watched it! aargh. waste waste waste. i should have gone to the library after paatu class or smth.. k i better go do analytical project now.. and then decision making ppt.. byeee!
