Person who talks well, but the output…. but they can still [...]

So really, i just had this conversation with a friend on inter-faith marriages. 20-30 years ago, if someone wanted to get married to someone from a different religion, oh well, one could say “all hell breaks lose”. Which is true. From moments of happiness (between the couple) to one that kinda meanders into tension and [...]

Earth Hour came and went. Me being the usual cynical me, read and listened to how many organizations and homes switched off their lights and such to conserve energy for that one hour. In my mind, isn’t it common sense to just switch off lights when one doesn’t use them, use water only when u [...]
