Who wants to go on a holiday?

I do.
Not because I want to run away from something. But simply because I just like to run. Well actually travel. To be honest I simply can't resist the anticipation of what a tour, journey or destination will bring. The prospect of travel is so ripe and laden with possibility. Who will you meet? What will you see? And most importantly how it makes you feel.

As a child my most vivid (and cherished) recollection of travel is of our many journeys to Lucknow. Since my grandparents lived there, every summer we would go to Lucknow by train. Now Grandparent's home is a treat and joy for all kids. For me the real thrill was the train journey. The chugging of the engine, the blue berths, the co passengers, the (not so) blur of towns you passed. I thought being a TT and getting to travel to Lucknow was the coolest job in the world.

Indeed, till my twenties I used to be so excited about travelling by train that I just couldn't sleep the night before.
And Of course, due to lack of sleep, I'd sleep through the entire journey.

Is it still cheating if it doesn’t happen anywhere?
But only in my head.

Is a sin a sin if it’s not committed, but just imagined?

the pill

Ok this is not about 'the pill' but Memory enhancing pills. Am sure some people need them and these pills (if they work) must be great.
Being blessed with a great memory isn't such a cool thing. Yes, you will never forget your sister-in-law's cousin's birthday and will earn many brownie points for it.
But you also end up remembering every sad moment, every disappointment, every embarrassing awkward, 'wish i was dead' kinda time you ever had. All this in DETAIL. and in MINT FRESH CONDITION.

Questions

I've often wondered at this sudden mushrooming of blogs. Why do so many people across the world want to tell so many more people across the world their private thought?
Why don't they just go and confess in the church?
Or write stuff on a piece of paper and chuck it in the sea?
Why do we want everyone to know?
