The other day I was reading an article on having a ‘whole’ life. The author of the article mentioned that to live a ‘whole’ life we must do the things we love and avoid doing the things we just aren’t passionate about.
“Yeah, easier said than done”, i heard someone say from my grey matter. I soon closed the article I was reading being only half way through deciding that chess was more worthy of my time.
Well I lost again, and now am on a 14 match loosing streak. A shame if you ask me, especially since I refer to my self as the ‘Indie Kasparov’ (However, I’ll let all you fans of the Indie Kasparov know that retirement isn’t on my mind).
This post though, is not about my chess exploits, or more fittingly how I’ve been exploited. It instead is about me giving thought to the article I had read about having a ‘whole’ life.
I, after a couple of weeks, and by total chance, came across the same article about how to live a ‘whole’ life. This time though I read it completely. According to the author, fulfillment of one’s life can be only achieved if one understands his/her purpose of life. If a person lives in ignorance of his/her purpose in life, he/she will never experience fulfillment. Naturally, this made sense to me.
One of the exercises suggested by the author that would help me on the path to finding my ‘purpose’ in life was to write down the things I love. The author suggested me to make a list of my likes and dislikes. He in fact suggested making many lists of likes and dislikes. For example, make a list of careers your interested in, make a list of the characteristics you desire in a woman, make a list on food you like, make a list on the characteristics you’d like your friends to have, etc.
Well by the end of the exercise I had to myself many lists, each containing things or characteristics ranked from 1 to 10 (most favorable to least favorable).
This exercise has helped me distinguish between what I like and what I dislike. And that I realized was the first step towards my path to reaching my destination, my purpose.
Do the things I like, be with the people I like, eat the food I like, etc. If I do whatever I like and avoid everything I dislike, it would definitely lead to a very happy and fulfilling life. I mean it’s like 2 + 2 = 4.
Getting a little sidetracked for a whole, i'd like to say that i feel. the purpose of life is to be successful. Being successful has a different meaning to different people. Some think of success as in monetary terms, some think of success in terms of how many children they’ve had, some think of it in terms of how much they’ve helped others, etc. But more importantly, the purpose of life at the end of the day is to, simply, be successful.
We all want ourselves to pass in the test of life and not fail. This passing would lead us to a fulfilled life, at the end of which we can proudly say, “Yes, I’ve lived the best life possible, I’ve completed my purpose here, and I’ve lived a whole life”.
However, the odds are not in our favor to achieve such fulfillment.
You could ask me, “How many people have a fulfilled life? How many people can proudly say that they battled the odds and conquered life?”
“Very few” I’d tell you.
But shouldn’t this bunch of very few people inspire all of us to follow the path to self-fulfillment? Shouldn’t we all be inspired to pursue our purpose in life?
Most of us don’t really know our purpose in life. Even if we do, we do not pursue it to the fullest extent. Why? I feel it’s because we are afraid to fall. We’re afraid to fail. We choose rather to walk on a path that we don’t often like but one we feel safe on rather than walk a path we’re supposed to, the path we’d like to take.
A simple example would be of someone doing a job he/she doesn’t like. For example, I know of many people (friends of mine) doing a doctor’s course not because they actually want to be doctors but instead because they feel they would get a good pay in the future. Doing something you don’t actually like, just because you’ll be earning a good paycheck in the future, wouldn’t be very fulfilling now, would it?
Such a person I figure would never really be happy in life, how much ever money he/she earns because they just aren’t passionate about their profession.
You could ask me, “Floyd, does the path matter or does the destination?”
I can’t say clearly, for I’ve just started on my path and my destination is way way off. In my opinion, life is all about walking on the right path and not about just reaching a certain destination.
Coming back to doing that exercise for likes and dislikes. I do hope people actually start doing more of what they like, and avoid stuff they dislike. Enjoy life, don’t complain living it. We’re here only once so why not just be happy, do what we like and live it ‘whole’?
Thank you, if you’ve read this post… please do comment and let me know what you feel. Cheers!

I was watching Seinfeld the other day and I was stunned (my mouth open in utter disbelief) for they had an episode running that I hadn’t seen before – I had thought of myself as being the ultimate Seinfeld fanatic - apparently not so (tears fill my eyes).
The episode was awesome (just as all of Seinfeld is). It had a part where Jerry does some of his stand up comedy. Jerry was talking of how people walk their pets (dogs in particular). He talked of how if there was an alien life form out there, they’d look down upon our planet and think we were the pets watching us pick up our pets’ dumps. Hilarious.
Later in the evening I caught this show on Star World about some invention stuff; I figure its called America’s Top Inventor (and I thought they’d stop at showing anorexic chicks in America’s Next Top Model).
Anyways… one of the “inventors” had invented a mobile ‘poop collector’. The idea was simple – carry the mobile ‘poop collector’ with you while walking the dog and when your dog’s ready to get done with his business, place the collector under him so he can soil in the collector (Are you puking? Is this too disgusting?). Once done, close the top of the ‘poop collector’ and throw way the cup containing the dump in a bin. The ‘inventor’ added that you could train your dog to dump ‘it’ in the collector (however, you would have to be present to flip open and close the case, and more importantly watch the process to place the poop collector exactly under your dog’s… you know…).
Breathe in deep, breathe out deep, and get yourself ample fresh air, for the above paragraph was definitely hard.
“Brilliant”, I thought to myself instantly. The judges however couldn’t laugh any harder at this idea. They sliced the inventor (the guy now had earned the legit tag of ‘inventor’ in my eyes). The judges argued that no one would want to watch the process of the dog going through its ‘business’ – “It’d be a very traumatic experience to watch your dog do it’s business every time”, said one of the judges.
Both the inventor and I were disappointed.
I’ve always loved pets – cats and dogs. Of course I’ve never had pets but I’ve always thought of having a dog or cat (or maybe, just maybe, having both). The only thing holding me back from purchasing myself an adorable and loving pet is the responsibility of taking care of their ‘business’.
Now, as much as I despise getting licked by a drooling tongue or dread over the idea of having testicles rubbing against parts my body (in case of males), but what I just cant imagine myself doing is picking up the damn thing’s dump (I prefer to use ‘dump’ over ‘poop’ so forgive me), especially on the road in front of so many people.
I find it so intriguing that people actually pick up their pet’s dump with a newspaper or shovel (for the ultra gardening freaks), with ease.
The inventor’s mobile gadget did seem real cool and useful at least to people like me that can’t imagine picking up their pet’s dump.
Of course on the Indian streets it is rarely seen that a dog owner picks up his/her dog’s business, but such practice is compulsory in other parts of the world (when the authorities said ‘keep the streets clean’ they weren’t referring to keeping drugs and guns off the streets, they were talking of pet dumps. Now you know.).
I wonder, what’s worse, watching your dog glide his dump into a case and easily disposing the case or letting your dog dump on the street (or garden or worse at home) and then picking it up in your hands?
Go on… give it a thought and then preferably comment (he-he).
Amen people. Live happy.

I figure everyone (except maybe the Pope and my parents) living in the 21st century has heard and more importantly knows the meaning of the term ‘fuck buddy’. However, for all you ‘angels’ out there, a “fuck buddy” is someone that you could have casual sex with whenever you want (at abso-fuckin-lutely no cost, I may add).
Synonym time - A fuck buddy is also referred to as a friend with ‘benefits’.
This post is all about my take on the ‘fuck buddy’ idea.
First of let me lay it down clear, Romance kicks ass! The best thing I’ve ever had is a woman that I was crazy about (notice ‘was’, then notice ‘I was’ which isn’t the same as ‘we were’, hehe). Anyways, being in love is awesome. Now, I know many people go like “love sucks”, or “love hurts” etc. but I just can’t help myself falling in love over and over again (some people refer to this as me being infatuated over and over again, but I know love and I know infatuation).
Why did I have to write the above paragraph? Simple, I like straying off topic and I enjoy wasting your time…
Coming back to the relevant topic...
Cultivating a loving relationship (or relationships) takes a lot of time and effort (Kevin knows, Kevin knows from his multi-tasking past, and I know, I know from my multi-tasking past, and probably you know from your multi-tasking past).
Most of us are busy people; most of us are busy busy people. There’s studying (some of us are still in college or school), or working (for all you people working) or doing both (studying and working) in tandem (I applaud such people), there’s also that time we reserve to sleep, time reserved to watch T.V., time reserved to chill with your friends, etc.
So many activities to take care of and we’re gifted only 24 hours each day – it’s a crime isn’t it?
Most of us don’t really have time for a loving relationship so the idea of satisfying our sexual needs with a casual fuck does seem appealing.
Sex, however, is a very complicated issue; there’s religion, there’s your desire, society’s view on sex, and loads of other factors (ah attraction above all of them, if I may add) that play a very important role on your outlook on sex.
Anyways, for someone that’s open to sex and who is very busy (and a tad bit horny) the idea of a “fuck buddy” is very appealing.
Imagine the scenario: Your extremely busy doing your stuff, you have no time for putting all your effort and commitment into building a relationship but you get the urge to have sex (hormones huh!); you dial a number, call up a friend, and meet up for casual sex. Have sex, more importantly, you have good sex, and when done, say a “thank you” to your friend, leave the room (or wherever you prefer to “do it”) and get back to doing your business – this time completely fresh and feeling good (at least your mind won’t wander like a horn dog).
Sounds good? Sounds bad?
I read an article a while back in the DNA estimating that approx. 76% of college students in North America (U.S.A, and Canada) have at least one friend with “benefits” (the number estimated to be much higher in Europe). In India however, this number is far low. The article however continued that the idea of a fuck buddy does seem very appealing to most Indians (both men and women) but many are afraid to put it to practice for various reasons.
One of the most obvious reasons being the possibility to fall in love with the other friend. “Many people”, according to the article, “feared falling in love with their ‘fuck buddy’ therefore not wanting to develop a casual relationship. Partners often (more often in case of males than females) feel the need to develop a deeper meaning, a deeper relationship. This often leads to the deterioration of the initial friendship between both individuals”.
So remember for all you people out there… the fuck buddy idea is okay to implement if you find it appealing, however, just make sure you and your buddy are strong enough to avoid the urge to look for a deeper and more meaningful relationship.
Also, I feel its best to keep such a relationship anonymous. You don’t want to be bragging about your sex life – makes you seem fake and it’s actually very boring to listen to (unless not asked).
Keep chilling and keep having fun people. More importantly if you’ve read this post feed me your comments.

First of, who’s a teaser? A teaser, in my dictionary, is someone that leaks out just a little information to get you excited and/or anxious for more, but then takes off going his/her own way or changes the topic to something else, thereby, depriving you on the complete scoop.
I just hate teasers (oh well... not hate-hate literally, despise would be more fitting of a word). I make sure that when someone’s letting me on some scoop, they better be filling me on the whole scoop – for I believe its far better to have no scoop rather than to live with incomplete scoop.
Experience with a teaser:
The other day I had Lionel treating me to great company while on a stroll. We somehow ended up meeting with Agnes (she’s an acquaintance at best - I hope Agnes isn’t reading this or I’m mince meat). Agnes let us in on news that she’s dating someone new - her expression at this moment felt like she expected us to throw our hands in the air and shout out a “whooooooo”. We didn’t, but we boys did want to know the name of her ‘mystery’ man – we wanted the complete scoop.
“No I won’t tell you his name. You people will tell everyone”, she said turning down our request.
“Darn, this chick’s acting a teaser”, I said, in my mind, looking up towards the Almighty in the skies. I knew I wouldn’t be getting the whole scoop from Agnes so, I wanted to leave the teaser, but Lionel wanted otherwise; He pursued his quest to finding the identity of her ‘mystery’ man (it felt like he was on the path that’d lead him to the ‘holy grail’), and soon Agnes began feeding us clues that she assured us would help decipher the mystery of her man.
“He’s my best friend (she was exclusively talking to Lionel, for I was partially disinterested in this conversation, my eyes strayed to women on the road, however, my ears seemed hooked on her ‘clues’)…”, she went on and on giving out more clues, clearly enjoying toying with my boy, Lionel.
I had had enough I couldn’t take it any more. I wanted to leave. I gave Lionel the signal and I guess he had had enough himself so soon we left, unsuccessful in our mission to crack the mystery of Agnes’s man.
Now is it just me or is this frustrating for everyone? Teasers make you feel so powerless apparently preying on your lack of scoop; Agnes’s scoop wasn’t much a deal because neither Lionel nor I consider her as being ‘hot’ stuff.
To all you Teasers out there, you must remember that some people are hot and some news is hot. Depriving us on the complete scoop on such people and news is worse than 3rd degree torture.
Don’t do it! (At least not to me)
However final word – teasing is HOT seduction weapon. You guys out there that can’t get a girl interested in you or vice versa, start being a teaser.
Time out people, I’m off to a break. Take care.

However hard I try I just can’t seem to fit in this place. Today once again the non-catholic folk had a few problems at class because I was in my shorts. For some reason my “classmates” at NIIT feel the need to tell me every time that India and Canada are two different places with different cultures and apparently “men” in India aren’t supposed to wear shorts period.
The problem here though is deep. If its not shorts, it’s the way I talk or there’s a question on why I put on chap stick? (apparently chap stick isn’t for men), etc. It’s not that these comments like pull me down or make me feel bad for myself… instead I feel pity for such ignorant people. I have had the privilege of interacting with people from many cultures. I’ve interacted with Indians and other Asians before as well but well they were non-residents of their respective countries. Anyways, the problem here, I figure, is difference in upbringing – the teachings I received while growing up compared to the teachings of the people bought up here.
I do not judge them for being right or wrong but what I get all irate about is that for some reason they feel the need to tell me that what I do is wrong and isn’t accepted in my own country.
The thing that has got me thinking is: How can I call India my country when most people here treat me as a foreigner? It does hurt a little when I give this some thought. Oman and Canada were far more accepting to me. I miss my old friends at times so bad… (Ah also the white women…black women…– okay)
I got to write that I find Indian Catholics (I’m being specific – Catholics only) accept me much more easily compared to people of other faith. I do feel one of the reasons for this could be that religion does install in us a little culture – and everyone belonging to a particular religion is imparted with the culture of that religion. Interacting with non-Catholic folk gets a little difficult. There are various barriers that I have to overcome with them including the language barrier which is most critical to communication.
I read somewhere in a book… that “if your unhappy with people don’t try changing them, instead change yourself”. Well… that works I guess but then I consider myself quite close to perfection (I even had an email called reflectionofperfection@....com) – improvisation on my personality is real hard especially since I can’t seem to find any fault in it (I’ve tried searching for faults but then there’s something called external factors rite?).
Anyways the Lord knows that I love challenges. I always ask for obstacles in my path… I want to overcome each and every obstacle that he puts in my way… so I can die with dignity knowing that I fought hard. The next year will be a test; I got to change college next year and my options are mostly non-Catholic colleges. Mixing around with peeps from those colleges will be a sure test. I’m very optimistic though about the future, I’m always optimistic…
Ah as I finish I can’t still imagine that people here think it’s weird to wear shorts to tuitions… or how weird it’s not wearing underwear to college (at times)?
The problem here though is deep. If its not shorts, it’s the way I talk or there’s a question on why I put on chap stick?

I do not judge them for being right or wrong but what I get all irate about is that for some reason they feel the need to tell me that what I do is wrong and isn’t accepted in my own country.
The thing that has got me thinking is: How can I call India my country when most people here treat me as a foreigner? It does hurt a little when I give this some thought. Oman and Canada were far more accepting to me. I miss my old friends at times so bad… (Ah also the white women…black women…– okay)
I got to write that I find Indian Catholics (I’m being specific – Catholics only) accept me much more easily compared to people of other faith. I do feel one of the reasons for this could be that religion does install in us a little culture – and everyone belonging to a particular religion is imparted with the culture of that religion. Interacting with non-Catholic folk gets a little difficult. There are various barriers that I have to overcome with them including the language barrier which is most critical to communication.
I read somewhere in a book… that “if your unhappy with people don’t try changing them, instead change yourself”. Well… that works I guess but then I consider myself quite close to perfection (I even had an email called reflectionofperfection@....com) – improvisation on my personality is real hard especially since I can’t seem to find any fault in it (I’ve tried searching for faults but then there’s something called external factors rite?).
Anyways the Lord knows that I love challenges. I always ask for obstacles in my path… I want to overcome each and every obstacle that he puts in my way… so I can die with dignity knowing that I fought hard. The next year will be a test; I got to change college next year and my options are mostly non-Catholic colleges. Mixing around with peeps from those colleges will be a sure test. I’m very optimistic though about the future, I’m always optimistic…
Ah as I finish I can’t still imagine that people here think it’s weird to wear shorts to tuitions… or how weird it’s not wearing underwear to college (at times)?
Gone are the days we as men used to wish for a housewife. Its not that we hate the idea of a woman sitting at home passing her time by watching TV, washing the clothes, cooking food, etc. waiting for you to come back from work… and as you ring the door bell, she’d be there to open that door for you, to give you that refreshing peck on your lips/cheeks (the place you prefer) and offer you that well deserving cup of tea (or coffee if your one of them new breeds of Asians).
Now don’t get me wrong, there still are many, many men (okay I may be exaggerating a tad bit with the ‘many, many men’) out there who want a housewife. Also, I by no means imply that women (wives) are to wash the clothes, cook food or to make for their husbands that refreshing cup of tea/coffee. I herein am talking of the traditional housewife chores that I have witnessed done by older generations.
Women these days want to be much more than just a housewife. There’s this Women Empowerment movement gaining momentum now-a-days that is changing women’s outlook, enabling them to think of a life independent of men (it is notable to mention that I give credit to a rise in the number of lesbians to this movement – amen!).
However for women that aren’t lesbians and those that look forward to getting married some day, they don’t want to be ‘chained’ at home. They want to be an active partner when it comes to managing a family. They don’t want to be considered inferior to men in any way possible and hence women these days are competing (and in some cases have dominated) men in many fields.
Not that most men are complaining. We do realize that women who work aren’t a liability but instead are a precious asset.
However (again), this post is not about women contributing to increasing the standard of living of the family, but instead it is a list of the top 10 careers my ideal wife could be in.
Of course there’s no guarantee as such that my eventual wife (or wives) would come from any of these professions.
Let’s get to the list, then –
10) A Bartender: Oh well… keeping it simple, the advantages of a bartender are:
** Free entry into the club!
** Free drinks (oh well…I’m no alcoholic but then once in a while…)
** Bartenders are real social always having something to talk about.
The verdict: bartenders are real cool to be in a relationship with, though the real question is are they long term material? Well miracles do occur (I have been told) so if I ever hook up with a bartender… I hope to keep it long term.
9) A Gymnast/Acrobat: With all those moves they keep doing on the poles and bars while performing, imagine them in bed! The only real defining reason I’ve put a gymnast/acrobat as a career possibility for my ideal wife is due to the intense and often acrobatic sex sessions we’d most probably share. The passion in bed would most probably have me wanting for more, thereby, keeping me interested in the relationship (of course there’s more to a relationship, but then sometimes plain old wild good sex could do the job by itself making up for other shortcomings). Also, being a gymnast/acrobat would require her to be athletic and fit which means she’s not going to be putting on some serious weight anytime soon.
8) A Dancer: Probably every man’s heard of the quote, “if she dances well, she fucks well”. Dancing is an art that can be extremely arousing and a sexual turn-on to even the most impotent of men. There’s nothing like watching a chick dance really well (especially if she’s dancing with you). I love a good dancer, not because she’s a good dancer as such but instead because a good dancer gets other men drooling. Any woman that can get other men drool is prime target.
Also most good dancers are very pleasant to mingle often being very social.
7) A Doctor/Dentist: I, herein, am not talking of those extremely butt ugly women who have taken up being a doctor/dentist because they spent most of their time studying when in school often avoided due to being a kill joy or being too introverted to mingle. When I talk of my wife being a doctor I talk of a highly dedicated professional who’s good looking, smart, trendy – more like that intern in Grey’s Anatomy (don’t remember her name – ‘Meredith’ is my guess though), or those chicks in Scrubs.
Keep in mind the fact that doctors/dentists earn a relatively great pay and add to that the possibility of free checkups and medicine and you feel you’ve hit the jackpot!
6) A Journalist/Reporter/News reader: I find any woman relating to journalism hot. I consider women in the journalism field to be social butterflies, often very comfortable with themselves and I take them to be excellent flirts. There is nothing better than having a great flirt as a life partner (unless she’s not cheating on you). Flirting is super important in a relationship; if you can’t flirt there’s a good chance I am going to be bored with you within a week (however cute you look). Also being comfortable with oneself is like one of the most important commandments of being happy so it is a must! There’s also this chance that she may be on T.V. some day (if she already isn’t on T.V.); imagine the bragging rights you get!
5) A Psychologist: Ah! Just take a minute to imagine a wife who’s a psychologist…think of how she’d listen to you a hell lot, how she’d take time to understand your point of view and more importantly how she’d work towards a solution non-violently. I do not know any man alive who doesn’t want the above three qualities in a wife. Being patient is also very important for a stable relationship; and I suppose women psychologists are the most patient amongst other career women on the list.
4) A Teacher: Teachers have always impressed me. Ever since I was at school I’ve always had crushes on a few of my teachers (which is very normal I’ve read). My teacher fantasy jumped a few levels the minute I watched the My Naughty Teacher porn series (which I must say is quite good – Juice Man verified!).
The reason I find teachers very amusing is cause their very intellectual. Intellectual women turn me on. I’m herein not talking of those math teachers, but instead am talking of History, Geography, Chemistry, English, etc. teachers (which are cute too – not the butt ugly ones yucky yuck). There’s always something to talk about when you’ve got a teacher around (ah she could at least go on and on about her subject which I may add is much better than being just blank).
Plus teachers control a little power at school and also I figure a good teacher has all the ingredients required to make her a perfecto wife (and mom with all the experience she gets with kids at school).
3) A Lawyer: Ever since I’ve watched the Boston Legal series, I’m in love with lawyers. I was so in love with that show that I wanted to take up law myself… but that idea went down the drain when I received my introduction to law text that weighed a million milligrams (may be a couple or more million milligrams I still can’t lift that book with ease!).
My next option then is to get married to a lawyer. I am not gay (don’t pay attention to the rumors people!) and so I would love to be in a long term relationship with a lawyer – preferably criminal lawyer or corporate lawyer.
I have always loved women that dress up in coats! I find they look (and I assume they are) much more intellectual and snobbish than most. Being intellectual and a little snobbish is so cute to me.
A lawyer would be perfect ‘cause I figure she’d be all sophisticated and be so diplomatic. She’d be so good with words with all the twisting and turning I could get so heated up but at the same time so passionate! Passion for me mostly results from anger (as in when your so being ragged and teased… awww I’m twisted I know); passion is a must for a successful relationship.
Plus I’d get to hear about all those exciting cases of murder, deceit, crime, etc. that she maybe representing - an added bonus.
2) A Marketing/Advertising head: Any woman that has some control over marketing decisions is a great catch. Why? Cause being a marketing head exhibits few qualities that I find very attractive:
** Creativity – she must be creative to be in the marketing/advertising dept. right?
** Powerful – being head of dept. would mean she exercises a certain control and power over her staff.
** A big pay check – oh well… head of dept. must get you a big pay check right ?
** Taste – most women in the marketing/advt. division have this amazing taste when it comes to fashion and style. They do make an impression.
** Management – if she’s good at managing the department she’d probably be able to manage me (or so I think).
1) The President: This would be the ultimate ideal match for me. I love power and I love being around people that have power. A wife who’s the president… how many people have been married to a president (wife)? Not many I guess… and there’s a reason – their real rare.
Imagine me just bragging on and on of how “I bang the president” omg the bragging rights itself would be enough to keep me bound to her. Also take in account the VIP lifestyle, the world tours, and the attention! Numero uno indeed…
Well I know this has been a long post… it took me days to get to 10 ideal careers for my wife and then to sort them out took me a few more hours of hardcore thinking. This of course is just me fantasizing… I’m right now not even thinking close to marriage but then when that day does occur, I most probably will be tying the knot with someone belonging to one of these careers.
Later people. Have fun!
Now don’t get me wrong, there still are many, many men (okay I may be exaggerating a tad bit with the ‘many, many men’) out there who want a housewife. Also, I by no means imply that women (wives) are to wash the clothes, cook food or to make for their husbands that refreshing cup of tea/coffee.

Later people. Have fun!
My tests are around the corner and I recently have found myself to be very distracted. I haven’t been studying a lot - I’ve lost interest in practicing the art of cramming. I find myself busy staring at my class books (to show grandma I’m studying) while my mind is on how to get myself rich and make money work harder for me rather than how to get an education and work hard for money.
This though will eventually lead to my miserable performance in the next semester… of course I’ll pass but then I’ll fall short of the standards I’ve set for myself… but I figure its better to allow your mind to wander when it feels like wandering, to allow oneself to think about possibilities other than a life chained to a non-spontaneous 9 to 5 routine.
As I ponder over business thoughts I take sometime to wonder actually how many people keep their mind free to possibilities in life. Robert Kiyosaki’s series of ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ books and tapes have helped me think of a world where I don’t need to follow the herd mentality but instead can choose to be different from the herd and actually get successful.
According to Robert, we have been programmed (most of us have been programmed) to “study hard, work hard, get a job, save (by living below your means mostly), invest by diversifying”. This is one thought I can relate too since my dad’s been a firm believer of this for age. I’m sure most of us have had people telling us to “study hard, get a job, work hard, save money and invest by diversifying”.
It’s a funny thing that most of the people that tell this are often middle class folk. I call the ‘study hard, get a job, work hard, save money and invest by diversifying’ a middle class thought mentality. The people who preach the ‘study hard… invest’ mantra and the people who follow it are often people who end up way short of being ‘rich’. Being unsatisfied with their efforts, they continue preaching this theory to people they have influence upon (mostly their kids), thereby cementing the middle class mantra to the riches.
Reading ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ and the other books and tapes in the series, have cemented the belief I’ve always had: ‘getting a job will not get you rich’. I’ve tried to preach this thought myself to many people… but since I have no ‘riches’ (yet) people wont just listen to me. Even though a few rich people actually share their secrets mostly these secrets are not followed by people because of the effective cementing work done by their parents or influencing peers.
It’s not easy to get off the wrong mentality. I strongly recommend people to pick up a copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad; it does make a great informative read.

(This post is a little bit longer than usual, but then it’s real interesting; please do comment)
The tag “the war of the sexes” has been afloat for a long while now. The first time I heard this caption was when I started studying history. I think it was class 8 that my history teacher told me all the injustices (hmmm…) that males inflicted over females during the course of time. However this post is not about social woes and historical treatment of sexes. It instead is about the future; it’s about who I think (and many scientist agree) is going to win the war of the sexes.
Today morning after coming from the market (I understand you didn’t need to know that but being descriptive is a plague I carry), I put on the TV to check what’s hot on the news. India wining the cup flooded all news channels today and watching re-runs of the same clips a million times got me feeling real bored (I am a die hard Indian fan – but a million re-runs?); Since the news was flooded with re-runs I flipped through the “animal channels” which include National Geographic, Discovery, and Animal Planet. Animal planet as usual had something real interesting playing on it – “the war of the sexes” extreme. For people who don’t watch animal planet often, they run a list of top 10 animals in the animal kingdom that are extreme at various feats.
This caught my attention.
Moving forward; the show was amazing, the 2nd most extreme creature in the animal kingdom when it comes to “war of the sexes” is the Praying Mantis (at least to the research team of Animal Planet).
In the world of the Praying Mantis, being male could get you killed. The male praying mantis rarely moves close to a female and there’s a justified reason for that. No their not all gays, but instead it’s because the female praying mantis is cannibalistic by nature. Mating = death for the male mantis. The female mantis bites of the head of the male mantis to provide nutrition for the kids (err… I think the technical term is larvae). The funny thing is that the male is eaten during mating; the male mantis has its brain near its end… so while the heads popped up and chewed upon the sex is still going on! (and I thought a gangbang was freaky).
I kept thinking number two was freakishly freaky and well if your killing the males you must be given the title of number 1 – the most extreme. After watching number one – the female Praying Mantis seemed a whole lot nicer.
Number one on the list was – the Whipped Tail Lizard. The females amongst the whipped tail lizards haven’t just won battles; they instead have won the war. Guess what? – The females have wiped out the male population. There isn’t one male whipped tail lizard left in the whole wide world (how freaky is that?).
It seems over time evolution has realized that the males weren’t strong enough to survive and so only the females kept thriving. The mother produces eggs which are clones of the mother herself!
So how the hell do they reproduce? Well one female mounts on the other, thrusting with force to provide the required force to spill out the larvae. This suggests that once upon time (like in the fairy tales) there must have existed males – but sadly for them being lesbian was the way to go and as a result they perished.
If that wasn’t interesting, what followed on the show definitely was. Everyone knows that males and females have chromosomes (which carry DNA – the molecular structure for life). Females have an X-X chromosome while males have an X-Y chromosome.
Research over the whipped tail lizard and the other instances of female domination in the animal kingdom has suggested that males of various species could be at the verge of extinction.
Scientists believe the main function of males is to help in reproduction. Instances in the animal kingdom show that females do most of the work while the sole purpose of a male is to help in reproduction. If only it were possible for females to reproduce by themselves, then we as males would have no use!
Moving forward to our genetic make up and how it suggests that the war between sexes is nearing finish.
Scientists believe that at the beginning the X and Y chromosome were of the same size. The X chromosome contains 1500 genes while the Y chromosome contains 75 genes. According to theses scientists (mainly dealing with evolution), the Y chromosome has been shrinking over time. Some even suggest that the Y chromosome may continue to shrink and may soon disappear (in as little as 150,000 years!). That would mean the extinction of males and a new world of lesbians (ha-ha).
Is this possible? For now it’s just a theory so there’s yet a hell lot of research and studying left to do to confirm such theory.
But then there’s already a case in the animal kingdom so…just maybe…

According to theses scientists (mainly dealing with evolution), the Y chromosome has been shrinking over time. Some even suggest that the Y chromosome may continue to shrink and may soon disappear (in as little as 150,000 years!). That would mean the extinction of males and a new world of lesbians (ha-ha).
Is this possible? For now it’s just a theory so there’s yet a hell lot of research and studying left to do to confirm such theory.
But then there’s already a case in the animal kingdom so…just maybe…
god and science...(argh i was clueless about the topic name)
0 comments Posted by floyd martyres at 9:24 PMEvery time I think of the existence of GOD I think of the matrix movie concept, “a programmed world in which reality is hidden from us”. People would say that the matrix is a fictional concept but then is GOD a verified concept? What’s the difference between both? Sometimes I feel the curious mind we have is a curse. There are so many answers we do not have. Indeed, there are times I think of ignorance being bliss.
GOD and science keep trying to outdo each other, or more appropriate to say would be that the followers of GOD and science keep trying to outdo each other.
The believers in GOD demand answers and if there exists no answer, the answer is GOD. Followers of science keep it simple - they demand only one answer: “Show us GOD”.
Man will never answer all the questions – he will always search for enlightenment, trying to question everything and then trying to answer everything he questions. This is good news to believers for they have already suffered a major attack on them credit to DARWIN.
Can either side suffer a loss? Imagine the consequences of man coming in contact with GOD. What will happen to religions? What will happen to rituals? What will happen to ways of life that have been defined by religion? What will happen to our thought? Will we all be able to take it all in? I don’t think we would. Prophets have come and gone. Prophets have come, have been persecuted and gone. The son of GOD (and truly God himself – if u believe) has come and gone – we persecuted him too.
Maybe that’s a reason GOD has been shy of coming to meet his creatures. He must be weeping bitterly watching our misery, watching our lifestyles and watching how materialistic we have become – but didn’t he know we would be this way (since he knows everything – the past, present and future)?
Imagine the effect of a revelation on non-believers. They’d go insane, they’d be crushed and they’d be on their knees by our side begging for forgiveness.
Will science ever prove there’s no GOD? I don’t think so. There are too many questions to answer. Answer one question and more questions pop up… and as long as there exist questions, there will exist a concept of a GOD.
What are my beliefs on GOD? I am a theist believing in the trinity but well…it’s a little complicated.

OMG we won! We won again! We won again against a quality team! I am right now so thrilled at the performance I’ve seen from these young players at the Twenty-20 World CUP. I never in my wildest dreams expected an INDIA vs. PAKISTAN clash and now it’s like fantasy has turned into reality (which does keep hope alive that someday I’d get bitten by a spider and I truly morph into the real SPIDERMAN...).
I mean what a performance by this young team! The funny thing is that while everyone in the country thought there was no freaking chance that INDIA would make it so far, I new from the start this tournament was going to be special. With the absence of so called “senior players” I knew I’d get, no instead, we’d all get, a fresh, young, hungry team. Blow the whistles loud people because “fresh, young and hungry” is indeed what we've got.
Classic encounters phew! First off a draw with the Scots due to rain meant beating PAKISTAN… I was a little unsure about this since PAKISTAN do possess what I’d like to call a killer instinct. But after we cleared past them I knew this tournament was going to be something special, and special it has been!
The big names this young team has knocked up is amazing: PAKISTAN (round 1), ENGLAND & SOUTH AFRICA (round 2), and now AUSTRALIA (semis).
I’m going to take a few moments to credit a few players who according to me have made a great difference to the team (bear with me):
1] SREESANTH –
I love this guy, energetic and aggressive. I don’t care if he gets a million fines slapped on him, as long as he plays hard I’m his fan. He plays tough, he plays like me. He gives the long shouts, he taunts, he looks the opponent in the eyes and he’s cocky and arrogant. I love his attitude.
2] HARBHAJAN –
outstanding at crunch time! He’s all fired up and takes it to the opponent. Gets going with his variations and yesterday I felt he won us the match, because CLARKE can hit baby, can hit it big - unfortunately for him though, HARBHAJAN had other plans.
3] DHONI –
the captain, he’s more like MR. CHARISMA. He’s calm and a great replacement to DRAVID (who I thought sucked because he lacked the killer instinct). He’s great with the bat and great with the gloves. I like his mentality too.

he's nicked now MR MAXIMUM... hes the entertainer, very passionate about wining (like myself). He does change the game with his hard hitting. i LOVE him.
5] AJIT AGARKAR – this guy probably deserves the most credit to his team wining. As long as he plays we loose – It’s as simple as that. So with him resting his arse on the bench there’s very little chance to hold back the rest. This guy totally sucks!--
It’s not about wining the finals or loosing it. I am just glad we got our game back, our swagger back. I do hope we win but then I like PAKISTAN too... even match, lets hope a bowl-out again lol.
