Becoming a little Lighter

Philosophy is in my blood. If you chat with me for 30 min I will atleast refer it 7 to 9 times or perhaps more. People  were puzzled, and even considered  me foolish /stupid and if the person was woman /gal she would go mad. Some people thought I would become sanaysi at one point of time. It has reached a point where for even I do not get a cup of tea I started referring philosophy which made people even more mad and this in turn made me mad. I tried to control it but I could not.

But if you ask them to change the routine itself they will definitely resists. In life at one poi...

I do not know what happened suddenly some of my friends called for going to vacation in Summer and some are asking for suggestions. I simply said them that to take rest at home. There is no point to going on summer vacation in India until and unless u r some unconventional adventurist or a trekker. Here are my reasons for suggesting my friends to take rest at home: ·       First of fall wherever you go you fill find lots and lots of people which leads to long waiting list wherever you go and finally you do not even find enough space for your own self. ·       Prices of hotels / restaurants / taxis for that matter any vehicles will be exuberantly high. ·       Traffic congestion due to huge inflow of vehicles on to the towns / cities which are in capable of handling the congestion. ·       Finally scorching hot weather. You wont feel like coming out during the day and th...
