Indian states Assam, Maharashtra and Kerala are also hit by torrential rain. Any many other parts of India no rain at all. May God bless us and forgive our sins. We collectively abused planet Earth. Planet Earth is a living organism. Earth is our real Mother..

A red dress creates a political storm in South KoreaA photo of a young female lawmaker sporting a short red dotted wrap dress to work went viral in South Korea sparking a heated discussion over what is 'appropriate dress code' at the National Assembly. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Please give her break she look fine to us.
