Desperate attempts...every govt builds infrastructure but no one really tries to project that they did charity. #Vote Chori is what keeps these people in. Their time was up long ago!

Book 151. The Woman in Me by Britney Spears Writing is very pain and toward the end feels bit whiny. But does raise question of how badly teen and women celebs are treated in media and life. Heartbreaking at times! teapaw.org/_alps/status/211437780โ€ฆ
Reading Britney Spears 's memoir "Woman in Me", I feel heartbroken. A teen celeb, and someone who had abortion and two kids in two years by age of 25, was hounded by paparazzi, men in her life and works at large. With no support. Her parents would be one who would hurt her most.

Book 148. Missing Joseph by Elizabeth George 7th in Lynley series - skip. It's the bleakest. Also the forever Deborah-St James and Lynley-Helen drama is nauseating and unbearable. I wish George would stop it already.

Book 147. Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao Story of two young people from different world, with liberal dose of magic realism. Beautiful world building but felt very rushed.. Still worth a read.

Book 146. The Girl from Fergana: Secrets of My Mother's Chinese Tea Set Story of Stella's saf displacement from Poland during Holocaust and how it connects to history of Jews and Silk roads. Since it's not an area of interest, I read this book as a homework.
