A Conversation with a Religious Fanatic 24 Oct 2013 7:02 AM (11 years ago)
I happened to have this conversation with a professor who works in my University back in India. I was hoping to have a mature conversation on freedom of expression. To my surprise, I happened to experience, something, I thought I should share. The persona of hate and irrationality fuelled by Religious Dogma embodied by this cantankerous professor (to my grave surprise). I do not blame him (I do
A Chain of things to come 1 Sep 2013 2:16 AM (11 years ago)
The good thing about today is its officially spring. The good thing about spring is it is warm. The good thing about warm is it isn't cold. The good thing about cold is there aren't ants. The good thing about ants is they form a line. The good thing about a line is it is a symbol of organisation. The good thing about organisation is it's patterns. The good thing about patterns is their
The She that Wanted to Be - III 15 Aug 2013 6:41 PM (11 years ago)
August 15th, 2013. With all the pseudo-patriotic "Statuses" floating around Facebook proudly proclaiming themselves as Indians and India being the best country in the world despite it's obvious major problems including rampant corruption, rape, infanticides, sectarian politics and too much cricket, I decided to add one more to the list- Having this conversation with her impulsive self. "Hey,
Face Palm on a Holiday 5 Nov 2012 8:37 PM (12 years ago)
Its the 6th of November and its a public holiday here in Melbourne, the occasion being the Melbourne Cup- Australia's major thoroughbred horse race with dressy men and dressier women (Drinking and watching the race, Not riding them). Famously tag-lined as "The race that stops a nation", it is indeed true, because its 2:00 pm and I'm just crawling out of bed. After a hard
In Faith 13 Oct 2012 5:14 AM (12 years ago)
Books of the ancients in temples they lie
Callously guarding an old timely lie.
Questions in questions the deeper we pry
Consumed by the answers the harder we try.
Lies of the leper, the mystic, the sage
Unearth the truths of the stories of age.
Question religion for people to see
The grandest of shows is how we came to be.
Hands clasped in prayers while chanting “Amen”
Surrender your mind to
I Am that I Am 24 Apr 2012 9:11 AM (12 years ago)
Pointers
1. The Red A is to support Prof. Richard Dawkins's (and the rest) promotion of Secularism
2. For the biblical explanation on what "I Am that I Am" is, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_that_I_Am
3. This is my play on the statement from the scriptures
4. The Science 1:1 is on purpose based on the font called "The Dreamer" as a tribute to the truly elegant minds of our
Sonny: Customer Satisfaction 2 Jul 2010 4:48 AM (14 years ago)
Please click on this image to enlarge it.I have been away from the blog-o-sphere for quite sometime. My laptop's motherboard unexpectedly went into labor (i'm still perplexed) and I thought i will be getting a small portable laptop. It spit out a burnt chipset instead. So, i beat the hell out of it. Anyway, this is one of the pending posts that I had planned to post after which I don't know
Fifa World Cup 2014 – India 11 Jun 2010 5:24 AM (14 years ago)
This is just a musing on what would happen if India hosted the Fifa World Cup though I think I have gone a bit too far in calling it in 2014. For a change, India qualifies. Yeah right... only because it acts as the host.Opening Ceremony and Miscellaneous:The opening ceremony which should start by 5:30 would start by 6 after a constant yapping in the studio by 3 people who can’t just shut up for a

An Oblivion in Gray 30 May 2010 10:49 AM (14 years ago)
May, 1999.
Alone, I lay, covered in my own grief and blood. My once pugilistic self had gone placid. Clenched fists slowly unveiled to become open hands trying to embrace the situation that was once a behemoth looming over its prey. The rumbling skies looked down upon me with utmost sorrow that it began to rain its cries. It was a season when the sky didn’t know whether to reveal the sun or

"Hey! .. How was your day?" She asked."Quite hectic. With the marriage nearing, I couldn't ask for more.""Mine's been hectic too."I knew she was gonna say that. After spending years trying to get to know her, i could not make the mistake of misjudgment.My day was hectic, so was hers. Mine was damn bad, so was hers. I had a huge friend's circle, she had an even bigger one. So she thought."So, A

1. Starts with one generation. Ends with another.2. Too much of it in a day might knock you off.3. Too much of it for a period of time will cause brain degeneration.4. Is not sweet.5. Kept to rot and that’s how others enjoy it.6. Goes well with food.7. After enough attraction sometimes it is all one can talk about.8. The more the age, the more the value.9.

Beware of this Post 6 May 2010 5:14 AM (14 years ago)
It’s a known fact that the great minds work in the loo. Mine is no different.I meant to say, mine works in the loo too, though useful thoughts hardly pass through.Hey! That rhymes!Sigh… Anyway…I was just thinking, about some warning signs put up by dog owners outside their homes to warn strangers about them and that there isn’t one way of warning them without someone making a comment about

Marriage Miscommunication 23 Apr 2010 3:56 AM (14 years ago)
The other day my mom and I went around inviting people for a marriage that’s coming up in my family. This conversation happened when I met an uncle that I haven’t seen for years together.Uncle: Hello! Vango vango! (Welcome Welcome!)Me: Hello Uncle! Epdi Irukkel? (How are you?)Uncle: I’m Fine pa!

A Different Gift 6 Apr 2010 6:33 AM (15 years ago)
Afterlife- On this realm.After one’s death, various rituals are performed on the basis of symbolism. Like in the Hindu mythology, the ash which is the residue and the only remains of the person in this material world besides memories after the funeral pyre dies, is collected. The pot is kept near a drawing representing the person in the guise of a stick figure. Food, an umbrella, a fan and a pair
Whatever They Say... 5 Apr 2010 2:19 AM (15 years ago)
Its more than just about time I got this out of me. It’s been in me long enough that now it has to come out. Beliefs. What about them? Recently, I’ve been exposed to a lot of these “beliefs” that lacks any proper explanation but for the orthodox sake of it, a deed remains to be undone.In some cases, Jatakas, by which some people swear by. Some astrologers read the prediction of one’s life from
Kadaa 2 Apr 2010 1:37 AM (15 years ago)
Kadaa – Scapegoat.You know you’re suffering from the Kadaa syndrome when…1. When your dad asks you to shop for his clothes, alone, by giving you his shirt size but asks you to accompany him to the saloon even when you don’t need a haircut, you know you are a Kadaa.2. When ONLY mom and dad are involved in a tiff, mom says something about dad to which dad retaliates asking 'WHAT DID YOU SAY?' to
