Anwar Ibrahim is free, of his name means anything to you. I foresee a flurry of talks and forums that would come about in this wake, once the man gets back safely from Munich from an orthopaedic surgery. I am sure everyone is praying that he would get back safely, especially his family members, friends and supporters. Just go to any news sites and you will hear news of his release. In fact, BBC news has given it a "front-page" treatment. However, in CNN, you have to click through a few links before unearthing the story. For CNN, the freeing of Anwar is just one of the many political news happening in the world. Not that I blame them. Resources and priorities differ between different media. If you were to google, the news of his release has not yet filter through completely. Try tomorrow.

Another announcement I have here is more personal. I have updated the literary studies site and you are all welcomed to visit it. A critical review I did on Charlotte Turner Smith, an eighteenth century woman writer, could be found there.

That's all, folks


Addendum : More links have been added in Cultural Microscope. I do intend to include original works, and there would be book review which would be added soon.
