When Time magazine chooses YOU as the Person Of The Year there are bound to be variations on who qualifies. Ali Khurshid came to my attention via the SAJAForum for being “an artist in a country that's known mostly, in the West at least, for its politics.” The country is Pakistan. Khurshid says he takes pictures “”to make sure Pakistan's real beauty was put through.” Indeed. Take a look at his images on Flickr. The one above is one of my favorites.

I'll often post images here that are interesting, curious and even spectacular. Would you also like to have your images showcased on this blog? If so, join my Flickr community group also called Tiffinbox. Thoughts, suggestions, opinions always welcome, so please leave your comments below.

Back on December 15, I mentioned GoodSearch and a future post regarding a charity I have chosen to help fundraise through the GoodSearch site.

I'm happy to tell you that I have bookmarked GoodSearch.com to search the Internet. Every time I do, money goes to my favorite charity: Sankara Nethralaya OM Trust, Inc.

Sankara Nethralaya OM Trust, Inc. raises funds for Sankara Nethralaya, India's best run charitable ophthalmic institution based in Chennai, India, that fosters world-class research, trains tomorrow's eye doctors and serves hundred of thousands of poor patients for absolutely free.
Nearly 40% of the patients who walk through their doors are treated without any demands for payment. Going beyond just a simple eye-checkup, poor patients are often transported to the hospital, served a meal, given medicines, operated upon if it is necessary and then returned to their villages after post-operative care is throughly explained.

GoodSearch is powered by Yahoo!, so you'll get the same quality search results that you're used to. What's unique is that they have developed a way to direct money to the charity of my choice with every click.

The more people who use this site, the more money will go to those in need. So please helm me and spread the word to your friends and family.

I hope you'll give it a try and support the cause that I care most about. To read more about Sankara Nethralaya visit the site and also check out omlog,the frequently updated blog the institution publishes.
