What does it mean to be a good person? Not hurting another person, I would call that person a good one! Let me say, not physically but mentally! The court punishes for physical assault but verbal torture doesn’t get that kind of punishment! Left to the court of God! A few kind words go a…

What’s the best way to meet new people while traveling? My dad was always big on what we call “rail sneham”! Getting acquainted with someone whom you meet on a train travel. Exchanging numbers and trying to be in touch! I am not an introvert but lately I really do not want to have that…

If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them? Of course how is the political climate over there? Are people there left, right or center?
