Naming a potential disaster
After Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma.....now even we are naming our approaching cyclone as Baaz. What is going on? Sounds like following a fashion statement to me. Maybe the Met Dept. names them for easy reference. So, let's give them the benefit of doubt. But then why do newspapers have articles on the naming of a cyclone? Doesn't anybody realise the extent of possible damage that a cyclone could leave behind? Sounds slightly insensitive to have such articles when the cyclone is right at our doorstep...especially after the rains have left southern states ravaged by the rains. 'Trivia' articles should be reserved for other times...when lives are not in danger.

excellent puppy pic and good blogs too
i just read there is another cyclone coming up and it has a name starting with 'N' something but I personally dont see a problem with reports on naming of cyclones. But it should be of a lesser priority than the actual cyclone.
