The World View of the Fool
And His Brother, the Genius
From the first to the last,
No breath is inconsequential,
No act futile,
Every move, a masterpiece.

I cannot say that either of these two men is a fool or a genius, but both are obviously intelligent.
Audio and Discussion-
I would not dare to explain this poem. There are so many ways one might interpret it's content. However, allow me to say that at times there may be a thin line between a fool and a genius. At times we might think that any given act is a tragedy, when it is a comedy. At times, an action might seem foolish, when it is the epitome of wisdom. When given all the ramifications, it's certainly difficult to tell. skp

The Largest Tea Party
Supported by the Tea Board of India, the largest tea party to date was in Indore, India on February 28, 2008. Held at the Nehru Stadium, a total of 32,681 guests “sipped their way to a new world record” while listening to live music. All were given the designer tea cups they sipped from as souvenirs.
Organized by the newspaper, the Dainik Bhaskar Daily, this event was more than an effort to break a world record. It was an attempt to show how easily an idea can become reality when an entire community comes together.
The event required almost 980 volunteers and 1320 gallons of tea. Roughly 551 pounds of Brooke Bond Red Label tea was sweetened with an equal amount of sugar.
