And then these children had amazed me with their zest for life. What have we really done for them? Yes they were given aids to sustain the ordeal and will be given aids for subsequent flood. So what about flood management and how do we fight the floods? I would rather we learn to live with it and reap the benefits the nature offer us.

I always take a long time when I look at this image. Were they so happy because they were being photograph? Or did I look funny to them? Whatever but one thing for sure despite their hardship they have to strength to override it. And probably that came from the knowledge of being cocoon by the love of their parents. 

And what this country actually needs is our love. Patriotism is too deliberate a term.
