To be dead...

Then, there'd be no face to see,
No voice to hear-
But most importantly,
Your words will cease to hurt the dead.

Life, Life skills and just being Alive!

I like the Evidence lectures because our lecturer invariably deviates from the topic and starts discussing about people and the general trends he notices among students these days. One such observation was “multi tasking” . Doing many things at once and not really enjoying any task exclusively and doing them mechanically. According to him man has evolved from being an animal to become a dual being which is part animal and part machine. The animal being recessive and machine being dominant. We tend to set ourselves a pattern and follow that without changing, which pretty much makes us devoid of any spark which people once referred to as enthusiasm. The machine in us has so progressively taken over that even emoting is a thing of past. [Do you smile when you put a smiley after a sentence? If so yay! You are not that rusty. If you don’t then the machine needs oiling] It’s just expressing without feeling. The education system in India is one of the best in the world and the one thing I h...

Peas Soup

At my home we are all on a diet for health reasons, which is why my last post was health related and this is a healthy recipe too. Every Indian kid knows Tarla Dalal.

When you pause and think about it, one takes a bunch of ingredients and the end result of putting those ingredients together is a party for one’s palate.

The ingredients are as follows : ·                     1 Cup fresh green peas ·                     1 Medium sized white onion. ·                   ...

What is the price on your "friendship" tag?

--> Every year the first Sunday of august is celebrated as friendship's day. This day brings me some really baffling memories of fights that need not really have happened but I was at the same time gladdened by the fact that they did. I am not a believer in keeping just one day to celebrate friendship, love etc… Why should we have specific days for telling someone you care for them or love them? These “special days” include mother’s day, father’s day and all the other days. The reason for designating a particular day is to make the consumer fish take the bait. Consumer fish is so blinded by materialism that feelings are given no consideration whatsoever. The key ingredient of these “special days” is the extravagant gifts that are exchanged. As pathetic as this is and as a common occurrence around the globe it sometimes makes me wonder if being shallow is the only way to get by in this world. If it is so, I think I’ll have to start off with pretence of being extremely caring...
