All men are created equal. No matter how hard you try you can never erase those words…

I’m a bit late to the party but can I just say I loved this movie. Pure, simple and just gold! It’s a movie of epic proportions; fighting for ones basic human rights, fighting for gay rights in America sure wasn’t easy. It isn’t any easy now, and it surely wouldn’t have been two decades earlier. A lot has been said about gay activism, gay rights & campaigns against homophobic people, anti-gay religious groups and broadening the human mind, this movies does just that, it truly goes to show how America or Castro – a district in California was, back around late 1970s. This is an extremely heart-rendering and sensitive movie that touches on many aspects of the lifes tapestry. I simply love how beautifully Sean Penn brings about the vulnerable, fallible side as a gay lover. Harvey Milks social standing is huge and the price he and his friends paid and stood for has liberated many.

thumbnail of Maysville Elementary SchoolThe Home of the Mustangs, the lovely Maysville Elementary folks have had a rejig of their website. I had designed their site about two and a half years back. Though the design essentially remains the same I’ve added some functionality and removed parts of the website that had becomes obsolete. Not only does Maysville as an Elementary school stand out of the crowd, they are backed by people who are passionate, teachers who go beyond their call of duty, students and patrons that blog and podcast and their thirst for knowledge! Though my visit to North Carolina last month was only for one short week, it was the one that made me feel at home and in the company of lovely friends and warm hearted people.

Follett International

Maria,.. and Nancy I couldn’t have been happier when Nancy (lovingly Nan) called to tell me that she joined the Follette International Library Resources. It was a long sequel of events that led her to meet Chuck Follett, at Follett International in McHenry, Illnois. Nan’s primary reason to get in touch with Chuck was to see if some help be available from Follett Library for her Rotary International project in Dhanbad, India. Nan is also the president of Maysville Rotary, in North Carolina, USA. Subsequent weeks that followed led to an exciting trip to Chicago to get inducted to the Follette resources and the workings of the group. Even though she has put up an entry about her jottings of the Follettes and pics on her flickr I thought this needed a worthy mention. Educating the future, gratis, without seeking any in return is a very noble and worthy call and seen far and few between in this day and age. In fact its reaching out beyond ones social scene and cultural peripheries — that in itself is a call very few can answer. Well done Nan! Very proud of you!

Maysville Elementary SchoolI spend the last two days creating a new design for Maysville Elementary School of North Carolina. Maysville Elementary School had a web presence, however, it needed a fresh look and a more user-friendly navigation. It truly is all about educating our future.

For those who many not know about Maysville — it is a small town in Jones County, North Carolina. If you are from the US of A you probably already know this but I thought a few web links would be nice. Land of the Charlotte, the flight of the Wrights, the mesmerising (we spell that the right way ;-) Chapel Hill, the historic Tyrone Palace, Comfort Country and our dearest darling Nancy who we all miss so much down-under, So here goes to North Carolina.
