In 2005, Thomas Friedman wrote in his book The World Is Flat – President Bush is indulging in the shameful tactics of pushing America into the business of exporting fear instead of dreams. Friedman criticizes Bush for his fixation with oil and calls for new sources of energy.
Zoom to 2006, Bush in his state of the union speech endorses almost every view of Friedman – from the need to get more American children to study math and science to not erecting protectionist barriers, to make America a walled garden as a knee jerk reaction to the threats of terror and outsourcing; to calling for minimizing the dependence on oil by 2025.What made Bush change so soon?

1. World vision
2. Mumbai Goddess statue
There's a legend that when the statue of Mumba Devi is submerged fully in the water, Mumbai will sink into the sea. I saw a dream where the Goddess asked us to build a 360 feet statue of the Goddess standing tall in the Arabian Sea in the west facing east towards the city. She asked to be in the form of a Goddess symbolizing the sacred feminine, a tribute to Shakti. A Goddess of everyone. Not a religious Symbol but surely divine. This will be the new statue that will never go under the sea and thus Mumbai will never drown. Write to mumbaigoddess@abhigyanjha.com to contribute and join the movement to make this dream come true.
