The world around us...

It is important that our eyes and ears are open to the world outside. There is the need for using the discretionary powers to select the news and views that we want. 

Listening to the iPlayer app in my phone is a new joy that I have discovered. I admire the rich content that the app offers especially the BBC World Service programmes. This morning, as I listened to the World News from the app I realized that the team behind BBC are full of energy and the energy is not something forced out of them but it just flows naturally and without any hindrances. 

The documentary which I listened to after the news was an interview with Angelina Jolie. The interviewer was Yalda Hakim. The interview was based on the book 'They Killed My Father' written by a survivor of the Khymer Rouge genocide. Angelina Jolie has made a new movie based on this book. She was in conversation with Yelda Hakim, who herself is a survivor of the Afghan- Russian War. She is a Afghan, her family is settled in Australia and she is living in London. 

Looking at this picture, I feel the peace and calmness of two women who are discussing a horrfic past. Angie, as she is populary known in Cambodia talks about how she adopted her first child from Cambodia. She also talks about how important is for the leader not to lose his calm in front of his team.
