Somalia Piracy



The Indian ships and its crew had suffered due to the Somalia Piracy.

However, Why is it there at all?

The Media reporting is such that it presents as if something totally evil is there only because of Somalia and Mogadishu.

The truths seems to be far away from what it is being shown.

Internet as a medium of communication is definitely a boon. However, it is very difficult to squeeze out of internet. You may keep on browsing but end up collecting nothing. In the above lines, I am recollecting what I have been able to learn after five hours of browsing even when Somalia Piracy was not my aim of search.


Where are my books? They are the real blessings.
