I have an important assignment to submit tomorrow, and I'm unable to concentrate due to drowsiness. Caffeine is not doing the trick for me. Is there any other infallible method of staying awake?

Which one do you prefer? Imagine that you are in an incredible concert or a trip that you have planned for years... Do you value more the possible photos you could take or the moments that would be stored in your...

Shine Mathew One may fondly look at the photos years after the event, but the memory of it is what will truly bring a smile on his lips and bring forth warm feelings about his past. One recent phenomenon that I really dislike is that of the innumerable number of phones...

I am an atheist and I do not go to church on Sundays. It's a choice I made and my parents despite being devout Christians are absolutely fine with. My dad said that it's fine if I do not believe in God but all that matters is that...

Shine Mathew Yes, just as you mentioned religion has got nothing to do with how good or bad a person is. Labelling someone something derogatory just because their belief systems are not similar is indeed very ignorant. However, I do forgive her because she makes awesome...

Shine Mathew Yes exactly. Atheism does not only just question the presence of God but of the Devil too. Unfortunately, for my aunt, it is not so. Being religious is good, but that should not mean you need to be averse to non-believers.

Shine Mathew Yeah, it was such a weird conversation. If she expects to turn people towards Christianity by accusing them and forcing religion upon them, she'll drive away, even more people from the church.

In this time of studios making unnecessary sequels and reboots to milk an old beloved franchise, it's refreshing to see a sequel that builds upon the predecessor and tries to take new directions rather than just feed on our...

Shine Mathew Your review was very detailed and very well thought out. I really loved your review of the movie and it reflected many of my own thoughts about it.

Shine Mathew I can read amidst the most chaotic noises now, all because of sharing my college hostel room with a particularly loud roommate. I no more pay attention to any external noise if the book is interesting enough to keep me hooked. It's a skill I painstakingly...

Shine Mathew I usually like historical texts, novels with grand narrative and sweeping storylines and I'm a big admirer of Russian Novelists like Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Gogol.

Shine Mathew @JohnRoberts No, but after finishing Monte Cristo I think I'll read The Three Musketeers too. I am slowly turning into a Dumas fan :)

Shine Mathew Already read it and I must say I'll be re-reading it again very soon. Jay Gatsby sits right up there with Bruce Wayne in terms of mysterious millionaires.

Shine Mathew Thanks for the suggestion, I'll surely give it a try. I hope it turns out to be as good as The Count of Monte Cristo.

Shine Mathew I like all kinds of books but I do enjoy historical novels with gripping narrative and tight plot, something like Ken Follet's The Pillars Of The Earth (1989). But otherwise I enjoy books of all genres.
