London: It was a unique moment in history, rarely does Hu Jintao ever step into the Western media's spotlight, away from the safety of Chinese media that avoids politically sensitive topics and censors anything anti-Chinese. Even when visiting other countries he controls the media agenda, cancelling a press conference during his recent visit to France. However, his political and economic clout weren't enough to avoid the US media during his visit to Washington this month and expectations of what they were going to ask the Chinese leader were feverish in the build up to the press conference, as he had no censorship curtain to hide behind. However, many felt let down and cheated by what was or wasn't said, I am not one of those.

However, it woke me up completely even though I am not an early morning person. I never understood the meaning of "early to bed, early to rise". Maybe this saying was valid back in the time when nothing could be done in the evening. Now, with the overwhelming influence and extraordinary growth of technology, we are glued to this small screen 24/7 where anyone can take a peek at the world by just laying down on their cozy couch. The note I am sharing now is the result of this technology.
