How I wish I was ambidextrous, being able to use both my hands equally efficiently. Most of us use our right hands for all our routine tasks, some with a creative bent of mind, use their left hand. Why this sudden urge, well actually since it is the right hand which wields the razor for […]

So we are at it again, if it was not for the Virs and Kanganas life would be so dull. We must actually be grateful to them rather than pouring scorn. The electronic media will then have to do some real reporting and research, which is oh so boring! After all, there are more such

 ‘Jashn-e-riwaz’ was recently in the news for all the wrong reasons, a Happy occasion such as Diwali was marred by a silly controversy.

 “Main aur mera phone aksar yeh baatein karte hain…“.I often talk to my mobile, in other words indulge in soliloquy; if it weren’t for you I would be sitting and having a drink with friends, guffawing away to glory reliving old times with them and not merely texting them. If it weren’t for you, I

 Taking off from where I left off last time on Immersion rods, while primarily immersion rods were used for heating of water, but its miniature version was used for heating water in a small tumbler for shaving.
