Facebook is not just a great way to ogle over women in your friends’ friend lists, but is an awesome way to let the world know about stuff by sharing content and links from all over the web (and publicize your blogs, hehe :)) And Facebook has an awesome way of presenting these links on…
The general contempt and hate the so-called new-generation upwardly mobile, MNC-employed, high-flying, English-speaking, car-driving, snobby, westernized self-appointed hypocritical middle-class Indians (but who are in reality the elite 2% of the Indian society; like for instance, Bangalore’s IT-coolie crowd) have towards public transport is well-known.

Assuming that you are a regular human being living on planet Earth, you must be pretty proud of yourself. You are “you“, the being, the person, who has achieved so much so in life and are part of the race that rules the planet and has subdued everything else! You even have defeated the evil…
The best joke of the year so far just came out of the blue one fine morning, splashed across the front page of the day’s newspaper. Seeing the headline, I couldn’t hold it in (the laughter) and just ROLFMAO-ed my guts out! Well, the headline and the joke was thus: “Kerala plans to implement high-speed…
