I can’t help posting this. Those who are watching or reading news these days, need some solace. I thank Raymond for this divine distraction. Watching Pratibha Patil taking oath as President of India, I was thinking how low will we stoop? But we have already sunk to the unfathomable depth of lowness as citizens. This… Continue reading Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram

Books!
My jaw simply dropped to my knees when I first “listenedâ€? to this FrankFinn ad. In this ad a girl was claiming that she was “differentâ€? right from childhood. Well and good. No problem with that. She also announced she wanted to fly. Excellent! But then somewhere she said when my friends were burning the… Continue reading Books!

Maintaining First Rank in the Class
A repost. 🙂 I remember a small girl. Exceptionally bright and naughty. I think in every primary school’s exam they follow the same pattern of sitting arrangement. One junior and one senior on a single bench. That naughty girl was in fifth class. Beside her, another tiny tot of third standard used to sit. The… Continue reading Maintaining First Rank in the Class

Sex?
What sex does to you: 1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests have shown that a woman who has sexual relations produces big amounts of estrogen which makes hair shiny and soft. 2. To make love in soft and relaxed way reduces the possibilities of suffering from dermatitis and acne. The sweat produced cleans… Continue reading Sex?
Without reason, Without occasion

Amit, I don’t think, people will be interested in knowing about me. But still, I am writing. I am an incredible, incurable, hopeless romantic. (Not… Continue reading Five Things
A Friend in Need…
Whenever I read,”A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed,” I always remember Tanmoy. Though I never met him face to face, but I know if I can call anyone a real friend, its Tanmoy. But today I am not going to write about his friendship. Almost two years ago, I asked Tanmoy to allow… Continue reading A Friend in Need…
Bizarre Dreams
Thanks a lot, Sudipta, for tagging me. But this tag is a difficult one for me. Normally I don’t dream while sleeping.

This… Continue reading Bizarre Dreams

I was reading Steve Pavlina’s latest post, “Life – The Ultimate Game.â€? It’s a beautiful and interesting post. How can he write such good posts is beyond me. What I see the “game” around myself is- life is really a game of how many hearts you can break, how many one night stands you can… Continue reading Life
Post Sales Support
Somewhere, I have read, “Business is a lot like tennis-those who don’t serve well, end up losing.â€? I was reminded of this statement while reading Seth Godin’s post.

Every one is entitled to his/her own views and lifestyle. Only through live and let live, we can preserve peace in the… Continue reading Spirituality and Three Fs

Few days ago, I was talking to my mother over phone. It was our usual conversation of a mother and daughter. And suddenly my tongue slipped off about a minor unfortunate incident. That’s it. She was really upset. I cursed my tongue. But of late I am trying to have a heart to heart talk… Continue reading Sucker
