Then...Now...Later?
Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....
"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our vegetables at dinner and not to leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India who would make you starve, if you don't.'"

I heard him saying that in "Walk the Tallk" in NDTV. That is a cool factor. But the poverty still exists in a high level.
