I find that it's a useful rule of thumb to assume that everyone's job is more complex and demanding than it looks from the outside, no matter what it is, unless you've literally done it yourself and even sometimes then.

After more than 21 months in jail, Fahad Shah, the Christian Science Monitor’s correspondent in Kashmir, India, and founder and editor of The Kashmir Walla newspaper has been granted bail.
