There has been a sudden rise in the number of rape cases. Various community/political leaders are pointing to chow mein, burgers, pizzas and other junk food as the cause of the increase in rape cases. Another one suggested that mobile phone usage could also be contributing to the same. As a person with relatives and friends of the fairer (face, underarms, other parts of the body) sex I wanted to contribute to this body of research too -

Organic Food -
The presence of toxins in the food cycle negatively affects the libido and aggression and makes people stay in control. You can find plenty of studies on the internet about the same.


The caveman food chain was probably the last food chain free of these toxins. Think about it. Image source

The Penis Monologues - Introduction

"The Vagina Monologues is a set of monologues which deal with various aspects of the feminine experience. A recurring theme throughout the piece is the vagina as a tool of female empowerment, and the ultimate embodiment of individuality." - Wiki

I'm all for equal rights, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't help imagine men adopting that tone. This could be part 1 of that series. If you want to find out more about The Vagina Monologues then you can get the full script here or check out the Youtube performances. I recommend headphones and a solitaire game in the background to alt+tab to.

I’m just going to ask you a few questions, just answer whatever you're comfortable answering. Don't go any further than you feel like going and if you want to add something later on to a question I've asked you, that's fine too.

When was the first time you saw it?

Didi walks into a bar. The owner hires new waiters to exclusively shuttle between her table and every other place in the bar. The owner hires more new waiters that go non-stop from the kitchen to the family tables without stopping at the tables for two. The owner is subsequently fired because he wants to raise the prices.

Didi walks into a bar. "Water" is removed from the drinks menu and is replaced as paani so that more people buy it.

I don't remember hearing Sherlock's ringtone. I vote for "Hit The Road, Jack"

I've just finished watching season two of Sherlock. It's one of the three series in my life that I've managed to watch with dedication and probably the only book inspired TV item which I've enjoyed as much as the book and is definitely not ordinary. The stories pull elements of the original stuff written by ACD but the writers put in some extra stuff by themselves which makes it a lot more addictive. The ACD ending is usually only an intermediate point in the story which twists and turns to a completely different end altogether. The lead character does sound familiar with his personality issues and his deep-down-inside-goodness and his excellence at what he does but to be fair any other sort of lead character would make it a little reality TVish. The other reason I put Sherlock Holmes much above all the other crime solvers between and including Poirot and The Famous Five is the fact that his stories do not revolve around a chase sequence and/or a secret picture and/or blatant clues and/or sheer bravery. Some assumptions and balance of probability do go into Holmes' deductions, one may argue back though. But that's not the point of the article.
