Posted in Arb, I jest?, Kak, Life, Rants, WTF on July 30, 2007 | 15 Comments »

(tongue in cheek?) Despite numerous requests, I have thus far resisted the urge to join face-book. It was even harder not to when two very good friends I care deeply about extended an invitation to join. (Sorry guys! I really am)
I have never quite understood the hype around the whole face-book phenomenon. Frankly, I had [...]

Strange behaviour… human weirdness

[Beware: non-specific rambling]
I spoke to a friend of mine who lives in Australia earlier this morning. He insisted on doing what he always does when he speaks to me, throwing in veiled barbs about when I am coming to visit, and why I don’t consider working overseas for a couple of years before I [...]

(Be warned: Extremely Long Post)
In case you were wondering where I disappeared to last week, I took the nephew on a road trip to the Northern & Eastern parts of our lovely country.
I figured I could let him sit at home , while I am at work, and let him get up to his [...]

The rise and fall of…
