'Discovery' Discovers Nature's Fury

How cruel the world of  the  'famed' can be known from the fate of the ace car racer Michael Schumacher who is in a coma for months now. The world which celebrated his victory moments and shared his joy ever refuses to share the grief. Even a case is filed against him for causing an accident involving a biker. The driver of F1 giants can't drive his life. The driver is yet another. Still the world believes , the humans believe that they will be noticed when they stand on the top of the world. People forget Buddha had no 'face books' to promote him. People for centuries promote him. It is not the momentary hikes that matter but the monumental works we do matter. Hope man sheds his ego and stop fighting with nature- stop trying to conquer nature.

The Discovery Network is cancelling a daredevil’s planned jump off the summit of Mount Everest in a wing suit next month following the avalanche that killed at least 13 people on Friday.
Network spokeswoman Laurie Goldberg said Sunday that the network’s thoughts and prayers go out to the Sherpa community of guides who were the victims of the avalanche.
Jumper Joby Ogwyn already was at Everest in advance of the jump, which was scheduled to be televised live on May 11 worldwide. He was not injured in the avalanche.
Discovery had hoped for big ratings with the stunt, and had scheduled several hours of coverage in anticipation.
