Times Log

Friday: The Times was decent today, I mean I didn't find any of the articles overwhelmingly boring. I was shocked to read the article about Ghandi's possessions being sold. The buyer, Vijay Mallya, who owns an Indian beer company, bought the simple belongings for 1.8 million. Among these belongings were his spectacles, sandals, a bowl, a plate and a pocketwatch. As one can imagine, India's reaction to this auction was not a positive one. After all, the sale of his accessories contradicts his philosphy against materialism. Apparently some things aren't considered priceless anymore.
