“As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you;” – Isaiah 66:13 “How much do I owe you?” you asked and I said nothing because I owed you more. I owe you poetry, -soft, soothing and happy- to caress your hair like the wind when your mind is haunted by him. I owe you tears -happy, sad and ...

Aiden had decided that his patience with me was going to be an enduring one. Despite my notions of pushing him away, he had decided to stick around, keep his patience, and to make things work. Or at least try to make them work. I was silent in acknowledging my appreciation, which of course came in small portions, and was ...

Such useless regulations only create confusion. Therefore, the FCC has, by far, has filled its trashcan with more than 120 outdated regulations. A petition from the trade body, USTelecom, has prompted this belated housekeeping. Calling it ...

They say money can't buy happiness, which is entirely false. Money buys happiness, alright. But what use is money if you become dependent on money to be happy?

If I was an ex-PC member, I would be very very happy. Apparently, the cabinet approved a proposal to let me have a duty-free vehicle despite not holding an official … Continue reading →

Reblogged from Art Blart: Exhibition dates: 31st January - 26th May 2013 "I like it when one is not certain of what one sees. We don't know why the photographer has taken such a picture.

Recently, I read this post about Richard Stallman’s (RMS) visit to India. And read more about RMS’s visit impacted India. I read this very, very interesting thing that happened in Kerala.

We’ve barely worked our way out of one ethnic conflict – and already trouble makers of Sri Lanka are starting up the next one. Anti-Muslim this and that – a small minority to be sure, but a frighteningly vocal one. They insist that we must protect ‘Sri Lanka’ and that they are ‘Sri Lankan’. To... More »
