Became a member in kiva

As usual, yesterday, I was watching PBS documentaries.
But following program was really inspiring. (It is a small part in Frontline)

(A Little Goes a Long Way)
Watch it online first.
http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/uganda601/

Immediately decided to be a member in kiva.
I believe in the concept (microfinance & direct lending & to the needy.)
I watched many programs on microfinance.
But I never know how to be part of it or Can an individual can join.
www.kava.org helped me to contribute.
At present I am thinking of contributing to the same for another one year.
Started with 6 & my goal is help 50 all the time.
Please read the FAQ etc in the www.kiva.org before jumping.

“It's a new, direct and sustainable way to fight global poverty, and the way I see it, I get a higher return on $25 helping someone build a future than the interest my checking account pays. “

Interesting Quote

To change and to change for the better are two different things.

Funny but real

I believe everybody in the world should have guns. Citizens should have bazookas and rocket launchers too. I believe that all citizens should have their weapons of choice. However, I also believe that only I should have the ammunition. Because frankly, I wouldn't trust the rest of the goobers with anything more dangerous than [a] string.

New set of Dhanvi & Saketh photos

My Take on movie 'Heat"

Watched it on DVD over weekend.
Two great actors (Al Pacino & Robert Niro) acted quiet brilliantly.
It is a story about two people on the opposite of law.
Al Pacino as cop and Niro as the bad guy.
Movie starts with Niro & his team steeling some bonds from a firm in day light in LA. Next scene onwards Al Pacino investigation etc.
Director(Michael Mann) portrayed both characters quiet deeply.
The best part is confrontation between Al Pacino & Robert Niro.
I expected an alternate ending. (Let Niro go free or escape.)
A good & worth watching thriller movie.
This movie goes to my list of all time favorite thriller movies category.
