I may have already admitted this earlier, but around the same time last year I was languishing deep inside an existential void where 'out' appeared to be the only way out but a year later, nothing appears to have changed and yet everything has.

Last time around as the date for my PhD Qualification…

A Drew Institute study of around 40,000 participants from around the world has concluded that every individual, without exception, might be a first rate asshole.

"Over the past few years, the definition of an 'asshole' has expanded to include people who hate animals and people that don't, …

A shocking new study that seems to suggest that Jesus Christ may have advocated for 'love for the  fellow man' over 'hatred and bigotry' was met with shock and disbelief by Christian groups across the nation.

"This flies in the face of everything we have stood for in the past few centuries." says Randy McAllister, a Christian activist from Wisconsin. "Without the subjugation of women, persecution of gay people, intolerance of other religions and the…

(I have been framing this 6S in my mind for a while now, but upon reading this particular 6S from Gita, my nebulous thoughts evolved into words.) 



I have just started doing a regular podcast on rationality and the need to subject every theory to the rigors of the Scientific Method.  In the case of people like…

 In an emotionally charged press conference here in Houghton,Michigan  Senator Brent Lizzman told a small cozy gathering of his supporters that he may not seek reelection to what would have been his fifth term in office.

He is now widely expected to turn to the world of prostitution to support his family.

"Brent is quite accustomed to getting on all fours and taking orders from the rich," says his loving wife Nora. "His transition into a…

Security agencies from across the world have launched a massive hunt for 'Outrage' - an essential component of the human condition that helps keep the fabric of society from tearing apart.

First reported missing during the unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation, it has since been conspicuously absent from many subsequent international incidents, ranging…

 A group of scientists led by Dr.Anne Trickelbank at the Center for Disease and Control in Atlanta claim to have uncovered a new strain of viruses that can potentially wreck nations and decimate entire populations:-  Big Banks.



Conventionally. a body is equipped with a strong immune system that help regulate these viruses, however the Big Banks virus is a retro-virus (much like HIV)…

A team of physicists at MIT have unveiled a new theory of everything titled "The Misanthropic Principle", a hypothesis that suggests 'the laws of nature and parameters of the Universe take on values that are consistent with conditions for assholes to exist.'  Simply put, it means that The Universe must have those properties which allow assholes and douchebags to…

      Biologists at The Wallace Center for Evolutionary Anthropology have published findings that seems to hint at the first evidence of evolution in human beings :- mutation into corporations.

 The central concept of natural selection is the evolutionary fitness of an organism, where 'fitness' is measured by an organism's ability to survive and reproduce. As a consequence of the selective pressures of their environment, organisms tend to gravitate towards the most…

On every single New Year's Eve for the past four years, I have engaged in a ritual that I have every reason to believe is most unique and peculiar.

  After loading myself up with a brutal cocktail of barbiturates and White Russians through the evening, I walk around the house wading in the stench of stale memories.  Every closet holds a secret, every crevice a story and every unopened door an emotional quagmire but, I explore them all while taking down copious…

Every time I get asked the customary "How is it going?" or "How is life?" , I usually say 'not bad'.

Contrary to what most people believe, the state of 'not bad' is actually a pretty good place to be, perhaps even the perfect place to be.

Not too long ago my life was decidedly bad, but I managed to fight my way out of it and I guess we can all agree that 'bad 'is bad.  However…

  One my my dad's friends was killed in a freak road accident, the day before yesterday.  He was a good man and at the age of 67 he had just retired and was starting to enjoy life, although his version of 'enjoyment' meant helping out at an organization for underprivileged women and children. 

Which was exactly where he was headed at 5:35 am on 01/01/2012, when a speeding ambulance lost control, crashed into the brick wall of a coffee shop, the force of the impact causing a…
