Some more rambling before the D-day!

Its true that the blog has taken a back seat in the last few weeks. No more! There were a few interesting ideas and articles that caught my attention and deserved to be on the blog. Mundane things can be made to sound humourous and interesting - it is quite a talent! A taxi-ride or a 'cab-ride' being made to come across as an adventure, something which at times may be even more important than life itself. Here is the link.

This was a chilling report. It makes one wonder what desperation can make one do. A lot of emotions run at the same time and it still doesn't register. Should there be more mental asylums or mental health clinics. Should more funding be dedicated to understanding human behaviour and why people act the way they do. As much as one can provide a reason for any crime, the fact remains, that someone lost their baby, some women delivered a baby in circumstances which were inhumane. 'Baby Killers' was very shocking!

Blogs and articles on manners and etiquette are quite interesting. Not only does it showcase the cultural aspects of a country or region but also is mind-boggling how different they can be. Is it just another way of people/cultures wanting to be different. This particular one was on sharing the bill. There have been some awkward situations in the past when people had to have their calculators out to split the bill. Yet again human behaviour at its most interesting display. Modern Manners was not an eye-opener though interesting enough to be here on the blog.
