   I would wish for a light at the end of the tunnel but I can not find the tunnel. How will all of this turn out? So much evil and hatred broiling around beyond me; corrupting power clutched like a prize and not one ounce of fairness unfolding for the approaching mid-terms in 22 days. The rule seems to be if you can not win on merit, cheat. We have come to this and this is what was unloosed on usa with the support of David Duke and the like from the Presidential campaign. If unhappy with the way ...

   Pick a color. Any color and make it your favorite color for the year. Arbitrary is a good way to go. Put names of colors in a hat and pick one. Think in that color. Dream in it. For one year at which point it expires and you have to pick another color. It will be like a semi-permanent tattoo, worn everywhere, shed in a year. Change it on your birthday, or New Year's Day. Avoid brown. Let your selected shade or tone or spectrum item be there for you when high emotions threaten to overwhelm you. Orange intrudes ...

The only fault these bad apples have is that they have less of interpersonal skills or life skills, so to speak. The definition of life skills, as it is seen in application is very frustrating, it shifts largely ...

"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it." Voltaire Since a long time, I thought it’d be unfair to draw such comparisons. How can one compare patterns of social behavior of terrorists with that of the organisations. However, owing to information I have, I think it is sadly time I wear this black hat, especially since no one wants to be the bad apple. The intent of this article is to project a picture that may be frightening, even scary…and if possible, (if at all) to bring about a ...

Shashi Tharoor in conversation with Anita Anand, BBC on his book An Era of Darkness. Enjoy listening by clicking here Nothing much has changed as far as eyes can see. The wisdom is to be watchful on words used. But I guess in the absence of willingness to cleanse the mind from ethnocentrism, everything becomes ornamental and plastic at the same time; therefore, 'now' it is too late ...
