As literate and educated people, we’re all already very knowledable in so many areas, having read many books, attended different kinds of programs, having many different kinds of experiences. Of whatever’s left, there’s almost nothing that google may not unearth (though some may disagree 😉 )!
I’d speculated earlier that in a way, humanity is gasping for breath being swept around in a tsunami everyday (just a metaphor), but of course that’s probably not very easy to digest. Most of us would hardly ever admit that there really is any real problem, esp if we have accumulated the opinion over age…
A lot of holidays are coming up with Christmas, New Year, etc. A lot of people already have planned out everything… …but a lot of others still aren’t very sure… In the past, I’ve seen that holidays look nice at first, but eventually it starts to get boring. Maybe a one day trip here or…

So wishing everyone a happy Ramzan as well! 🙂 An underlying theme on Deepawali is the second line of the Vedic hymn… Om Asatoma Sadhgamaya Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya Mrityoma Amritamgamaya that says “Lead us from…
I’m a tennis non-fan, i.e. in general I enjoy watching tennis but its somewhere in #7800231 in my list of priorities… Still, loved this really cool article by Scott Adams! Dilbert blog: Winning
