The following pictures have been published in thousands of sites, even millions, but I’ll post them anyway. All of the pictures posted represent a particular history at a particular time.
Here are some dark days in the world’s history:
December 3rd, 1984. The first picture was taken in time of the Bhopal Industrial disaster. This has been considered as the biggest tragedy, resulting in the instant death of more than 3,000 people, 8,000 more died within two weeks and another 8,000 died since the tragedy. This was triggered by the release of 42 metric tons of Methyl Isocyanate gas, exposing at least 52,000 people to toxic gas.

Our housemaid is leaving today, she’s been with us since 1994, at first without having any intention to come over and say goodbye. We’re glad, actually, there won’t be any talk-back maid who spends most time doing tasks complaining and grouching anymore. Hopefully she can rest in peace in her new ‘home’.
We are sorry to see you go, so sorry to see that nobody shall treat you the way we have always done, so sorry to see that you may not be as happy as you used to be when you were still with us. Well, It’s your choice…there’s no use crying over spilled milk, it’s sour anyway…
