Perpetually Perplexed

I ate a bowl of raw vegetable salad for evening snacks today. I felt much better, not heavier, not guilty. And even my mood was elevated. Think I should have done this, 8 cookies and 3 papads earlier

HE keeps receiving lots - millions of requests every day. "Please give me car like my neighbor has" "Give me a wife like neighbor has" "Give me a bike like my classmate is flaunting" "Give me a diamond bangle at least this Diwali - like Mrs. Big B" "Give me this" "Make me prettier" "Make me younger" "Make me intelligent" There is a very very long list. We all send our requests many times. Don't we? And sadly 99.99% of the times, we do not see any response. Not even "Sorry bro, can't do". Did you ever think why? Today suddenly I had a vision and I found the answer. We do not receive any reply - because ........ server is busy. Do not close the window  yet. The story is not yet over. I was thinking about this nice understanding and planning this particular blog- chuckling to myself. My ghee - clarified butter started overflowing. I reduced the flame. Still, the oily ghee is flowing li...

Recently my blogs are taking turn towards feminism. Am not sure why. But today I read two interesting blogs when stumbling upon. One is from a man who is a feminist and another is from a girl about how much precautions a girl/woman needs to take before going for jogging at night. Please read them. Why I am a male feminist Personal Responsibility  

Finally I obtained some solace from an article today. I am not alone who feels the need to communicate 24X7. It is in our genes. By our genes, I  mean human genes, not just Y chromosomes. :) According to this article in Psychology Today, all other animals are born with survival skills. They can walk, they can run away from predators, almost as soon as they are born. But a human baby has only one survival skill, communicating, in the form of crying. Whenever a baby feels threatened, it cries so that its protector will come and help it. Great for a survival instinct, isn't it? So a baby cries whenever it feels its survival is threatened. So humans have learnt since babyhood that communication is essential - very much essential for survival. No wonder, our teenagers (many adults as well) are glued to their tele-communicating device i.e. mobile. And no wonder we the good old ladies, talk so much (not on the mobile - because we are tired of listening to "mobile bill k...

Dear GOI and GOK, (Govt. of India and Govt. of Karnataka if you haven't guessed yet) Looking at the current events, I feel there is a serious and urgent need for a new ward - in the prisons. At least the prisons in state capitals and Delhi. And this ward will be minister ward. The aforesaid ward will have at least the following facilities 24 hour hot water supply a sofa or at least a bench for the chelas followers and fans of the minister facility to get food cooked from home usage of mobile - to shout at lawyers to get bail immediately  to discuss with citizens about their woes a large screen TV - to see and understand the current affairs   to plan how to take revenge on opponents  And I humbly request you to build these wards ASAP, because we never know whose turn will come next.

Was planning to write this blog few days back. Since I read about Darshan - the infamous movie star who beat his wife, apologizing to his fans and his wife Vijayalaxmi saying that she gave the complaint in a fit of anger. What is wrong with people who publish this!! He should apologize to his wife not to the fans. And she should not try to be apologetic about giving complaint, instead she should be apologetic about bearing with his violence all this time. Then today's TOI has the article, which says that this event is a norm rather than an exception. Most women give another chance to their abusive husbands. Because of financial dependence, because of kids, because of social stigma. Even their families would expect the daughters to adjust  with their husbands. Are you giving him another chance to beat you, threaten you with gun, to burn you with cigarette? Or do you seriously think that, he will suddenly become a good person and treat you if not like a wife, at least like a fello...
