The Scorched Soul Erotica...

So it was Saturday night, and alone I sat wondering why we are burdened with the chore of existence. And thinking of chores, I was reminded about another most daunting chore. Having a bath daily. I mean, why waste away so much water and precious pheremones! But then a wave of Nirvana swept across my mind. And I was enlightened ever more. For in that moment of sweet nirvana, I found out the reason for having a bath daily. And now that I have the knowledge, I must pass it on. The knowledge could enable us to optimise the frequency of the activity without being compelled to label a violator of the daily bath ritual a heretic. You see, dead skin cells from the epidermis keep shedding from the human skin. The epidermis is the topmost layer of the skin. Cells on it keep getting replaced by the cells from beneath it. In around thirty days, the skin of a person gets totally replaced by new cells. Snakes collect it and shed it at once. We humans keep shedding little by littl...

Upon checking out from my hotel in Aligarh , Uttar Pradesh one morning, they informed me that the telephone line was down, and hence I could not use my credit card. They would have to send a waiter along with me to collect the payment from the ATM. Now this waiter was a Muslim, and judging by my beard that I was Muslim too, he asked me my name. And that was how the conversation started. He told me that he worked the night shift at the hotel, and during the day he studied for High School exams. I was touched by the thought that a person who craved education was forced to work nights as a waiter at a hotel, and I felt a tinge of sadness for the poor state of our country. Education is a prized possession, but the priorities in our country are such that often what is worthy commands a lowly price. I felt pity for the poor soul sitting beside me. And I felt sad for the misguided system of ours that lets deserving people be disappointed. I expressed my sympathy and told him th...

What is the purpose of the seat belts in an aircraft anyway? The way the crew makes a fuss about their usage, they could be the difference between taking off alive or dead! Anyways, the last time I was on a flight, the pilot started doing some shitty stunts in the air as we were approaching Delhi. Judging by the spurts of zero gravity, I guess he was adjusting the altitude as we drew near. There were also patches of cumulous clouds the static from which caused the plane to get possessed and sway from side to side in violent tantric invocation, so perhaps he was avoiding them cloudies. Or perhaps he was a disciple of IndiGo’s Captain Parminder Kaur Gulati. He only knows. Anyway, although moments of zero g when your stomach is tied up in knots may not be the perfect yogic aasan for a eureka moment, but then, neither was a bath tub... So, the seat belts in a car protect you from a frontal impact in case of a collision. That’s why they are so nice and cover the s...

We all love to bargain. What's better than to get something priced at 200 for, say, 150 bucks, even though it may be worth only a 100. But it feels even better to get something worth that 100 for 90 bucks... i lobe my uN79... :) Anyways, so about a year and half ago, I went to buy a phone, the Nokia N79. Had not heard of Android at that time and was wary of touchscreens. Tried the MobileStore, et al, and got a price of around 14500/- but still thought I could get a better deal. So I tossed a coin and went to try my luck at Daryaganj. Enquired at 2 or 3 places, and the prices they quoted were actually more than the MobileStore's. Damn! The N79 had very good reviews on www.techtree.com , but the phone was about to be withdrawn from the market (or had already been withdrawn), so i figured its price was going higher instead of lower as the availability was low.  Then i wen...
