I love the urban life and travelling to a new and interesting city is tremendously exciting to me. And so New Orleans was this fantasy city to me. The music, the food, the French influence, the art scene, the carnival seems to have this special voodoo on me. I have never been there but dreamed of visiting... and the devastation wrought by Katrina seems unbelievable. The words divine retribution comes to mind, though I know how terrible it sounds. Remember those Mullahs who said the tsunami was retribution? I don't say this in terms of petty morality or that anyone has this coming, its just that being a pagan(more on that in later post) by faith nature's fury always seems a message, more respect please. We don't just need to cherish and protect this earth of ours but pay homage to it.

My interest in mainstream media is incresingly diluted, by the on the spot and spontaneous blog reports, whose honesty and emotional intensity packs a far greater punch! I regularly read metroblogs, a very interesting site that has a list of city bloggers in most major cities. The NewOrleans Metro Blog is particularly interesting now. Dive in, you will get a new perspective!
