Nargis in Urdu means “flower”. In Burmese, it probably means something that cannot be repeated in front of your family. Cyclone Nargis has an official death toll of 23,000 but estimates say it could be anywhere as high as 100,000 making it one of the deadliest tropical systems in recorded history. The junta in Myanmar has been extremely inept in handling the situation before and after the storms but efficient when it comes to holding back information. Under such circumstances, Burmese blogs have become major sources of communication with the outside world. [BBC link on Burmese blogs]
