It is indeed a sad sad day for the couple who had to face this very unfortunate incident. The child, a one n a half month old girl, was sleeping in her mother's lap. The mother was seated outside. A coconut fell from above, straight on the baby's head, and it succumbed to its injuries in the hospital.
I hope the parents and relatives have the strength to bear through this unfortunate adversity.

Abandoned babies are being sold for money to parents who want to adopt them. This is indeed a very pathetic practice and the perpetrators of this atrocity should be ashamed of themselves.
According to the law, an abandoned baby should be reported to the police, and handed over to the child adoption agency, from where babies can be legally adopted. However, the greed for money on behalf of the authorities, and the impatience on behalf of parents to go through the adoption process has led to the existence of this social evil amongst us. This should be stopped at once as you never know if the couple you are selling the baby to, is a genuine couple, or someone who employs children for begging purposes.

Well this is not exactly sad in the same sense as the above posts, but it is sad that such gullible people exist. Let me just make out a list of things that people should keep in mind to avoid getting scammed or hacked.
- Do not share your password with anyone.
- Keep a complicated password. Mixture of letters and numbers at least.
- You cannot win a lottery that you never heard of, or entered your name in.
- Do not click on suspicious links. Ex: Check out this site: blah-blah.info
- Do not download attachments from emails sent by strangers.
- Never share your credit card information.
- Periodically scan your computer for key-loggers. These applications keep track of your keyboard activity and mail them to the hacker. Thus your username and password become available to the hacker.
- Install an anti-virus software, which will keep viruses and other pieces of code that attempt to steal private information, away from your system. Regularly update your anti-virus software.
Hope this helps.
