Judy Evans @franxav Me too. I got a bone caught in my neck when I was young and it's taken me a long time to like fish. I still only have it when we're out and I'm sure there are no bones in it.

Our leaders, particularly from the ruling party love to boast of India being the largest democracy. Considering the population, it surely is. But what kind of democracy? It's a hijacked democracy , where voters list is...

Anindita Sengupta @franxav That's not the case in Odisha. No politician has the audacity to ask a person to support a party as in Bengal.

As the saying goes: A good son always comes home and tells what's wrong with him. That's what happened to me this time, since I always get lost for periods and come back to the community. Really, with all the years I've been here,...

Arunima Singh @franxav Yes, I believe that . People find their partners when they are destined to meet. We might get worried with all societal expectations and worries. But things happen when they are meant to happen.

So, ultimately, July has waved bye. It was my birthday month. At least for some days I was happy. But there were moments that made my heart heavy. The Texas flood took many lives and turned a happy day into a sad one. Closer...

Judy Evans @franxav Some people say money isn't everything but only those that have plenty say that. It's hard to function without at least some means of buying what you need.
