Whenever I visit Anupam stationery (a store near andheri station), I end up being "taken aback" (in a good way) by all the new novelty products that they keep adding to their collection. The latest ones that I picked up were ball pens which looked like syringes!!     My friends - Deeksha and her sister Vidya - are doctors and it seemed befitting that they write their prescriptions with such pens!! So I gifted them these :P Deeksha draws comics which she has titled "Perpetually Taken Aback Person" which she hosts online here: http://www.p-taps.com/

The bell curve is an inevitability in all aspects of life. Expect to be near the center in most aspects & at fag-ends/top-cream in few.

A question for Garnier: What were you thinking when you made the packaging for the following two products so very very identical? Its been so irritating the past few couple of times when I bought one thinking it was the other. Mental really!! I have thick skin. I need an "abrasive" scrubbing face wash. And I totally hate it when I end up buying the feebly liquid only face wash... ughhh!! Whose idea was this packaging anyway? I seriously want to slap that person - not for coming up with this idea; everyone makes mistakes, but for letting the packaging continue for SO MANY FUCKING MONTHS!!!  Garnier PureActive Blackheads uprooting scrub (This is what I WANT)   Garnier PureActive Pore unclogging wash (This is what I end up Buying!)  

So either you are on the board of directors.. or you are bored of directors. Windows mutex implementation has a function: WaitForSingleObject() . I guess, subconsciously, the code you are working on ends up mimicking your current state in real life...

Mutation and Natural Selection facilitate Evolution. Sex accelerates it. Death implements it stepwise. Consider any species in their wild habitat. A male mates with another female, has sex, produces an offspring. Mutation causes offspring to be physically strong and better suited to the environment. Natural Selection allows it to outlive other individuals of the same species. As the offspring spawns, mating with multiple individuals of the opposite sex, it passes on the favored genes to its children. The good gene spreads through the whole population only when other individuals WITHOUT that gene have died out - i.e. died naturally, killed by predator/competitor, accident, calamity etc. Consider the modern day human population. We have outgrown evolution. We have become too populous for evolution to take its natural course. So many people are born with so many beneficial mutations.

The human body, consisting of about 10 trillion cells, carries about ten times as many microorganisms in the intestines wow! so there are 100 trillion entities within the entity that I know as "me". 10 times more than the parts that are only "me". In fact they are ME! A healthy adult has about 2kg of these bacteria in the gut. All these bacteria live in a highly organised micro-world with certain species predominating and controlling others. Knowing this puts so many things into a new perspective: The way to a man's heart is through his stomach Damn right!, that's where most of "me" live! Talk to the hand I would rather that you talk to my gut, that's where all my veto power is concentrated! A man is known by the company he keeps Should be "community" instead of "company" We are what we eat Happy Realization! No, seriously! Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live. Only place for me, and a...

You feel the blood pulsing through your veins; your heart pounding against your breast. You break out in a cold sweat; your arms shivering. You feel tears rolling down your cheeks; your voice quivering. You feel the warm dilute mucus running out your nose; you sniffle, feel out of breath. Liquid and Music I feel you. I am happy. You aren't breaking. You are breaking free.
