India takes a step into the 21st Century with this monumental breakthrough in human rights. Even though the ruling only applies in New Delhi, at least it's a start to seeing some sort of equality over there.

I tried to comfort myself last night from the fact that I wasn't in San Jose (though I checked out flight information!) and went to see Transformers: ROTF with some friends, who thought it was way too long. Hm, I didn't notice. The rest of the weekend isn't going to avail me much time for anything, however I am going to try and finish watching Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
