"A 43-year-old Indian woman has been rescued after being locked up by her family in a single room for more than a quarter of a century.
Her family members in the eastern Indian state of Orissa said she was mentally ill and had to be kept apart because of her "wild behaviour".
Annapurna Sahu was confined in an abandoned outhouse - only a few feet high and without proper flooring.
The family said she was not mistreated and was given food and water regularly. "

Thak you for visiting and for linking to my blog.


We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. --Buddha



when thoguhts dont reflect the words;
when words dont reflect the emotions;
when emotions dont reflect the conscience;
when conscience dont reflect the soul;
when soul dont reflect the life;
when life dont reflect the time;
when time dont reflect the self;

Then what reflects what?
