India: Extreme Everything
BEFORE leaving on my trip to India, my friend, who was holidaying in Kolkata at the time, told me that the country would change me. His three-week holiday trekking through the Motherland had helped him find peace within himself and humbled him. “Didn’t India impact on you in any way?” he asked on my return. “I’m not sure,” I replied, contemplating. “It...

Porn is available everywhere, not only on TV
There's only one thing that I like about porn, it has an incredible ability to make people uncomfortable just by the mention of it. You have to be a different kind of person to chat to the person in the bank queue about your porn fetishes. Sick, perhaps. With Top TV’s fingers caught in the porn cookie jar, the debate for and against porn has been buzzing in the media and, for... (posted by Tharuna 170 days 11 hours ago.)

Forward this!
I recently got one of those forwarded “I am so grateful for...” emails and one of the points stated: “I am so grateful for people who send me forwards...” Whaaaaaaat?! Seriously? Email forwards are annoying, especially when you get twenty in a row from the same person and then receive them all again from dumb mutual contacts. I’ve had an email address for about 11 years...

All I want for Christmas...
I love the film Love Actually, and whenever I think about Christmas I think about that movie. It's of those great 'feel good'films that are so happy you end about feeling depressed about your own life... OK, not always. I've never really celebrated Christmas, though I admit I've received way more Christmas gifts than Valentine's Day cards. However, just after the new year, is my birthday. So instead of Christmas, I'm going... (posted by Tharuna 174 days 9 hours ago.)

All I need is motivation
When I was a kid, my drive was endless. Words like motivation and inspiration didn't exist. I just went on, doing everything that I possible could and feeling exhilarated rather than exhausted and thinly spread. In primary school, my week consisted of school, choir practise twice a week, art club once a week, speech and drama, the chess club with sporadic tournaments, a daily swimming lesson with...

In dreaming...
I have the strangest dreams. I do. Ever since I was a kid, my dreams would fascinate me. They were always epic; epic adventures, epic romances, epic horror stories and epic real life dramas. In fact, one of the first books that I made my uncle buy for me was a dream dictionary. I remember glimpses of passed dreams daily during my waking hours, sometimes just a place or something that happened in the dream.... (posted by Tharuna 176 days 1 hour ago.)
