Not much research has been done on the reasons for sparrow extinction from cities. Lack of food might be one reason, but cell phone tower radiation, etc. might as well be another. With cell towers occupying rural areas as well, I am not sure how much of a chance sparrows have. But we will eventually pay a price for all this greed. I am sure.Destination Infinity

There are two different things that one achieves by pursuing some difficult goal - Success (and with it, satisfaction), Failure (and with it, learning). Now, how much learning is enough learning? If one knows the answer to that question, life will become simpler. Secondly, quitting after becoming successful is also an option - There is nothing more to learn and one doesn't get addicted to success/adulation, as well. If the goal is big/challenging enough, there is no way one can (...)

All of us are cricket lovers when we were young. We used to wait for days in anticipation of a cricket match (but only on TV, we didn't go to the stadium). I used to wonder what would happen if a cricket match was there just before the day of an exam! Fortunately there were few cricket matches and none of them collided with exams.I stopped watching cricket after the initial match fixing allegations involving Azhar, Jadeja, etc. broke out. Even while watching on TV, I had my doub(...)

Sometimes our priorities are directed by others. We sort of feel indebted to them and want to accommodate everyone as much as possible. But in spite of that, people will find some reason or the other to blame us for anything and everything. That's one reason why I generally don't bother about what such people think/say. BTW, please eat on time, irrespective of how much work you need to complete. Not eating on time will result in health issues on the long-term. Me, I will alw(...)

To escape it, I started listening to music, but the suspense was getting all-over me and I started 'following' to the serial once again. Whatever they may or may not do right, these serials definitely know how to hold our attention!!

Not surprising since bribing Gods is one of our favorite past-time. When people are young, they feel that conditions abroad are ideal. After going there, they feel that this place is definitely better than India. After a couple of decades, they *have to* get used to it due to lack of any other options. They can't (yet) go to Mars!!

I too know one person who single-handedly brought up at least 5 kids from his relatives families. The common thread I found in all those kids (who are grown up now) is, they are ignoring the person who brought them up. Of course, he is self sufficient and his own son is living with them, but the attitude of the other kids is shocking. How can one not show any gratitude to people who brought them
