Good News

Normally Bangladesh only ever gets bad press in the Australian media but over the past week things have been a lot more positive, although if I were to do a symptomatic reading I could probably argue that it's not as good as it first appears.

I am referring of course to the separation of the twins Trishna (I think this name is made up for 'poetic' reasons) and Krishna (which suggests the children are Hindus, although again this may be poetic license) who were conjoined at the head. The marathon operation was reported at length in the Australian media and the prognosis looks good.

However, it seems to have taken a long time for this to happen. I can remember the case being discussed in the High Commission Social Club in early 2008 where a number of the AYAs (Australian Youth Ambassadors) were actively engaged in raising funds to get the kids to Australia. Be that as it may, its good that this has happened and one can only congratulate all those involved in bringing it to a happy conclusion.
