WOMEN ARE SMARTER.
SHARING WHAT HAS BEEN SHARED A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. 'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.' A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?' Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the... more...

ELDER'S DAY.
  So one more day to remember! the elder’s day.  Which are we remembering, the day or the elders? Identifying a day for a particular spectrum like the women’s day, children’s day, mother’s day etc is in itself sickening. What is being tried to prove by celebrating this day is beyond my comprehension! On this day, what are we supposed to do? Visit a... more...

An encounter with Munna - part 2.
“Kaun hai?” the suddenness of the feeble voice startled me, and I tried to focus myself to the source of the voice. All I could see was the silhouette of a frail face, projecting itself from the nearby window.    “Ji! Main! main!.. Saheb ne mujhe bhulaye the!” I blurted out, a wee bit relaxed and confident that I could see a human soul around.  The... more...

AN ENCOUNTER WITH MUNNA
It was nearing half past six. The sun had almost vanished, leaving ghostly shadows in the twilight of the tall ashoka trees, swaying violently as the gusty wind threw up the dust around me. The gate before me was large and ghastly with the wooden frame already about to give up and looked as though I was standing in front of a ghost house. The paint... more...
