If people around you are trying to pull you down, be proud of it. Because, it only means that you are above them.

anything better?

We were in our office that evening troubleshooting some software installation when our TM asked "Hey! It seems some major bomb blast in the US! Any news about it!". All major news sites weren’t accessible probably due to the heavy load. And we continued to work. Some time later, he told that a major disaster had struck in the US and the Twin towers have been hit by a couple of planes. I rushed home to see the shocking terror. And the whole scene unfolded.

Two years down the line. still remember Bush's "Freedom itself is attacked...." and "We here you...." speeches. But, what is the outcome? Has the "War on Terror" succeeded? No idea if there will be any answers.
