Much Ado About Something

There is a general misconception that anyone desirous of leading a life without sex has lost the plot or is on the way to a cloistered life. This is so not true, because even though the medium (read sex) is a means of releasing pent up energy and a great deal of fun, it is not the be all and end of life. In fact, giving up on it is no be deal, because you do not have to deal with the pressure – just get on with life without the huff and puff and heave ho – you just get by happily. An unmarried happy go lucky girl was scoffed at because she believed in retaining her virginity. People sniggered at this was because in their view – here was a girl who was always partying, had a series of boyfriends, but still retained her chastity. This was beyond the comprehension of a clichéd mindset! People opined that she was pretending to be virginal to retain her ‘reputation’. How stupid is this, eh? This is the general notion that every female who parties, has a drink or two, enjoys a cigarette,...

What can get better than the beauty that we find in nature...

There is nothing quite like prettiness that can make you feel a whole lot better about everything. Clicked these random pics of the lovely flowers that grace my terrace garden. Clicked this one late at night... I will definitely upload more soon. Enjoy!

I don’t know about you guys, but I get my inspiration in the weirdest places. The problem is, if I do let on, you are gonna think that I am off my rocker (like you did know that already). Here are some silly musings/jokes that may bring on a smile and get you past that bored, irritated, depressed or weird situation. Giggle if you want, or just move on – it is your call entirely! The shower and the faucet were arguing. The shower bragged, “I please my owner with the excessive water I provide.” The faucet replied “What makes you think that when I am used more often!” They went on and on and on, until they decided to make a pitch for who gave out more pressure. They waited for the owner to turn on the two together and when she did, they tried to ‘prove’ themselves. The owner looks in dismay sighing, “Darn - there is an air block”! Here is another one… What did the parents forbid the kids to do? “Don’t you go out today,” they said in unison. “But, why? What did we do?” they r...

So, you want to get rid of that belly and no matter what you try, nothing works! Join the club, because most of us who have the inclination to get rid of that paunch invariably end up piling on more flab that we ever imagined. I certainly enjoy the occasional (ahem) nibble or two in between meals. And from what I have heard along the way is that three meals a day are not the norm anymore. Dieticians have counseled me to give into the urge and snack away at the good stuff and not the heavy-duty stuff that builds flab. The problem is that while I do listen to their pearls of wisdom, I end up piling on the pounds nevertheless. Eventually this catches up and I up the ante with incessant dieting, constant exercise and a never say never attitude. What happens along the way is that I get disenchanted because the damn flab just refuses to budge in spite of all the hard work. Sounds familiar? Bottom line – the flabby paunch just grows to mammoth proportions making it impossible to slip into t...
