The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
Kahlil Gibran

For 14 years, Save the Children has released a "State of the World's Mothers Report" on Mother's Day. This year's report introduced a Birth Day Risk Index, which reported on the number of babies who die on their first day of life. The report revealed that two-thirds of all newborn deaths (2 million out of 3 million each year) occur in these ten countries:

India = 876,200
