From shadows to the stars

Dear nonexistent readers, I would like to inform you that I am elevating my blog to the status of PG-13 from this moment. I have always looked to keep the blog 'family-friendly'. But I think there's nothing wrong with a family using the words asshole, fuck (not as a verb, but in its other fucking forms), shit, piss and the ilk. So, if any of you nonexistent readers have a problem with this change in policy, well, fuck you. This doesn't mean every line of sentence of my blog will contain expletives.

So you won't find many of the more colorful expletives. Got it? Alright.

You know how when someone passes by you and the way they smell or the scent they're wearing suddenly throws you back to the memories of a time long gone? Well, if you don't know, that's because the olfactory glands (the glands that are used to identify smell) are quite closely situated to the area of the brain that stores memories (to explain in simple terms). The smell also triggers the memori

And we enter double figures in the Random Observations series.. Hurray!! RO #1 How can you say that the caste system in India has been abolished when 90 % (or maybe even more) of the marriages are intra-caste ones? RO #2 I have an idea to instantly make the world a better place. Firstly, delete the comments section on YouTube. Also on other famous sites. I don't know what it is about the internet that attracts only the worst sort of people to use the comments section, but it's got some of the most vile, disgusting and nauseating comments. And secondly, ban vehicle horns. So many pricks on the road always honking and harassing those ahead of them. If these two are implemented, the world immediately becomes much better. RO #3 It is quite common to see a group of people belonging to one religion laughing at the belief system or scriptures of another religion, saying how ridiculous and foolish they are. From the view point of an atheist, this is
