Ramzan brings different joys for different people. For some its an opportunity to get closer to their Maker. For others it's downtime to catch up on whatever they’ve been lagging at; TV, books, chores. Yet others view it as decrease of productivity. For me Ramzan puts everything in a slow-mo. The office hours are shorter, energies lower, days proper and taste buds stronger. This combination of free time coupled with low energy gives birth to many many many useless thoughts. And I thoroughly enjoy them. I thought I will document the randomness of those thoughts today because: ·       May be I am able to complete the thought if it gets documented. And then I can actually decide which box of my brain to put it into; forget about it or think more before I forget about it. ·       Haven't published a blog post in a while and want to keep my thirty-five people fan base intact, also don't want Google to declare my blog do...

Labels and tags; are they necessary? Is it really necessary to compartmentalize the richness of a human being? Does the efficiency that classification brings really worth the destruction of an individual’s self esteem?   When you really don't fit into any label. Your definitions of labels are as dicey as the labels themselves. Whether you are a bigot or not, depends on who is deciding. Just as beauty lies in the eyes of beholder, your definitions are always changing. Cutting someone slack, giving grace marks or exception; favors and sides - is that what we have all come to be? Where you live? What you wear? What you do? When some of your best sleeps are at worst of places. The clothes don’t guarantee the best laughter. When your work doesn't guarantee contentment. Why does it matter? Your personality type? Your skin tone? Your voice? When there no two identical personalities in the world. When flesh is same, flows the same, behaves same. When the sweetn...
