All TV news are speaking about it. 

Saange saboor remind me an old song I heard when I was very young and the old story which told You can tel what you want to this Stone and at the end the stone explose or something like that.

I has always been "amazed" and seduce by this story I knew by small parts. I'll definitively read it.
