My Return To Poetry Brings Incredible Love For The Works Of Faiz Ahmed Faiz

2011-03-01T04:34:00.001+06:00

It's been quite a while since i actually posted anything here, rather this has become sort of a photo-log since i hooked up Instagram with Posterous. Anyhow, today, being in the melancholy mood I am, i'm walking down all the roads of the past that i have skipped for a long time. The most important of which is poetry, and who best to study when you gain interest in something once again, than the

Blogging is most definitely one of the passions that I am crazy about, and whenever I buy a new device, ease of blogging is something that I look for as it is my first and foremost priority. I discovered posterous about a year back and was immediately hooked to it because it was surprisingly easy to use, long story short, I loved it and I still do ! Well atleast for personal blogging through

This is totally true. I blogged about this earlier, its amazing to see how these companies and cons try to weave their way out of grilling by such statements! I am continually in anthropological awe at large organizations and the people who work there. Today's example: This bit of opacity from a Yahoo spokesthingie in response to a NYT reporter asking whether Yahoo could confirm rumored plans to

The secret to Online Flirting

2010-12-17T18:27:00.001+06:00

These are the essentials of flirting. Must read. "Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?," asked Shakespeare. Now, women of the world have replied: "No, just tell me I have beautiful lips." A new survey of online flirting by dating website Badoo.com has found that the best Internet chat-up line for men to use is: "You have beautiful lips." "We have found the Holy Grail of flirting," said

$93,000 Cancer Drug.

2010-09-28T02:20:00.001+06:00

BOSTON - Cancer patients, brace yourselves. Many new drug treatments cost nearly $100,000 a year, sparking fresh debate about how much a few months more of life is worth. The latest is Provenge, a first-of-a-kind therapy approved in April. It costs $93,000 and adds four months' survival, on average, for men with incurable prostate tumors. Bob Svensson is honest about why he got it: insurance

What Israel wants from the Palestinians, it takes

2010-09-17T23:39:00.001+06:00

By colonizing the West Bank and depriving Palestinians of basic rights, Israel has made a two-state solution impossible. Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Michael B. Oren, argues in his Sept. 15 Times Op-Ed article that Israelis want peace, and I believe him. They've said so often enough. But the Israelis want lots of other things too.

One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said, "That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter Dress?" The little girl replied, directly into the pastor's clip-on microphone, "Yes, and my Mom says it's a
