A heart left behind
It is often quoted that one should not come face to face with one’s heroes. It is usually a let down as even heroes seem disappointingly real and falter like mere mortals. San Francisco was a city that had been on mind ever since the Alistair McLean novel I read back in the 8th grade.[…]
Torture
Exhausted and horrified, I ended my resistive efforts as they tied me down on the chair. I gasped a few breaths and began wriggling again, my wrists and my ankles against the coarse industrial rope. Understandably, my captors were not pleased and promptly landed another blow on me. I stopped trying for a while. “You[…]

Three colors, black, grey and white!Perhaps four, if you count a shade of silver. When worn, with laces tied, the whites walkYet the shoe itself feels like[…]
Foursome
I have been watching formula one for a while now and I can’t recall the last time when I saw four possible contenders for the championship. I realize that one race cannot be indicative of the entire season, but if you followed the winter testing, you would know that these four teams have been consistently[…]
Religious Stick shift groups victimized
Ann Arbor MI 9th March 2006 Despite contrary belief, several cases of manual transmission racism have been reported in the states of mid west and North East. This comes as a shock to generally car happy nation that once boasted one of the most powerful cars on the world. Automatic transmission churches have set up[…]
