Vote of Thanx

Let me die in peace
‘Was flipping through the pages of a magazine and encountered this account from a divorce lawyer, who was describing her experiences of handling her various clients ranging from an age of 20 to 65. What perturbed me much was this account of a lady who came to this lawyer in order to file a divorce after 40 yrs of marriage!! Now, she has reportedly ... more...

Eklavya
Don’t want to sound like a movie critic, nor am I one. I guess ‘Movie Freak’ will be the word to describe me better. Every Friday, whichever movie releases and hits the nearby multiplex, I make sure to watch it. It gives me tremendous relief and probably can unwind emotionally there. Well…….now I’m deviating from the matter I wanted to discuss.  Wa... more...

You might not have known this,  but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female.  Here are some examples:  FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
