news clip reminding that we're not in the US anymore...


Caption: "Devotees gather on the banks of the Ganges for a dip during the traditional Hindu ritual Tarpan, a holy offering to ancestors, observed on the day of Malhalaya in Kolkata.  Four persons were feared drowned and 16 persons were swept away in the Hoogly river on Friday morning while performing the ritual at Ghusuri ghat in Howrah.  Police said eight of them were rescued and four others were hospitalised.  Four persons, including a six-year-old child, were yet to be traced and search for them were on. --PTI"
