I went on a mass TED download while in the States over the holidays. I watched something about mathemagic this afternoon and poverty in Pakistan. http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/asher_hasan_s_message_of_peace_from_pakistan.html It was less than five minutes long but I found it initially quite interesting. Only a few Pakistanis made it over to India for the talk because of all the security hassles. I love that his message was all about the commonality of our humanity. It's easy for someone somewhere so far away to see the similarities between Indians and Pakistanis and recognize the minimality of the differences. We are most the same in our differences; I think that's beautiful. Thoughts? I'll come back with more also (after report cards and never ending lesson plan write ups).
