| My god vs yours | |
| You know, this is something I usually talk about when I am with VT. We usually have a good laugh over it. Once I mentioned this to my ex-boss - he did not particularly like it, but smiled dutifully!Anyway, given the times, I think I will apologise in advance to everyone who might issue a fatwa on my head after reading this. Assume there is a compet...

| I had abandoned this blog - and now I am back. The problem basically is that I end up doing a lot of writing here and there and sometimes just write rubbish :)Anyway this is a pointer kind of post actually. I have just started another blog Going NutsThis is where I want to post the occasional funny stuff that enters my non-artificially enhanced bra...

| No threat, dear sir! | |
| "I think your comment about Prudent Indian was not fair. You write that it was not a threat, but readers understand. You were not threatening the Prudent for that, but actually you were threatening the readers! Putting facts and figures in public, like Prudent has done, does make a lot of people uncomfortable." This is what Kumar Rahul said in one ...

| Du'a Khalil Aswad was only 17 years old.She was killed on 7 April, 2007 in Iraq. This was an honour killing. She belonged to the Yazidi cult. She made the mistake of falling in love with a Sunni Arab boy. Nobody is sure if they got married or not.Anyway there was a threat to her life and she went into hiding. Her own relatives or own people convinc...

| Post a Blog or Add a Post? | |
| How old is Rediff iLand? A couple of years, at least?The other day, when i had logged into iland, i noticed this little button -- Post a Blog. If you go to your own blog while logged in, you get a button called Add a Post. Both do the same thing.So, here is hoping that Rediff gets this right - a Blog is the entire collection of posts, so you don't ...

| Two days back, Dilip Krishnan had posted a picture of some Gujjar (Or is it Gurjar? I have sene both spellings) agitators vandalising a train. He wondered why nobody does anything even when the faces of the vandals are clearly visible. Makes sense. They come on TV, they are lighting up and burning cars and scooters on TV, they are turning over hard...

| Remembering my thirties |
| The thirties were turbulent times for me. I think it kind of holds true for many women. At around this age, those of us married and with little kids, begin to harbour a sense of un-nameable apprehension, of the future being just endless routine, between the pressures of the workplace (if employed) and domestic chores, back at home. Sur...

| Can we define music? Most of us may agree that it is bourn by a time series, jointly or independently, of amplitude, frequency and complexity, three fundamental well-known parameters used in physics. This time series is the objective reality, or the fictional reality of physics. But obviously all such time series pertaining to auditory sensation ar...
