The power of three
I recently discovered that I am predisposed to categorize everything into three categories. I mean everything – people, attributes, things, ideas, tv shows, curries, leaders, asians, watches, jackets, restaurants, everything. Seriously. Its not so much that I need to do adopt this kind of stereotyping or assumption-making, its just that its far easier to traverse […]
A Primer on Politeness
[I originally wrote this as a helpful guide to a friend who was constantly getting stuck in unnecessary altercations] Politeness As A Way Of Life People often mistake politeness to be a manner of speaking.

Just another 1.5%
And just like that it is the middle of 2011. People have moved, people have graduated, people have become parents.
