Should Girls Wear Short Clothes?
I came across this viral video the other day. Yeah, I'm a little slow in noticing viral trends.

The other day in office I was sitting on my seat just minding my own business when a new team member approached me. It was lunchtime, and he politely asked me if I would like to join him for a carrom game. I was stupefied by two things. First I didn't know the guy that... Continue Reading →
Why Do We Need God?
Primarily to answer the questions of children. Confused? You shouldn't be. Do you remember when as a child you asked questions that seemed simple and straightforward to you but were existential queries of the cosmos most brilliant scientists and philosophers have not been able to answer?
