Random Babble


I love love love looking at the sky. Couple of years back, I was discussing some student with the assistant principal, who happens to be an established writer. as i was walking away he asked me to look up. i did. he then said, "The sky is so much bigger than you and me."

i thought that was a bit weird at the moment (because it had nothing to do with our discussion) and i called him on it (because i thought he was telling me i was arrogant), (which he wasnt!), (he said so!), in any case, from that forward i cant help but think about his simple statement, everytime i look up at the sky.

The Universe indeed is so much bigger than you and me.

Heard this today: why do we call it the 'mad cow disease' when in actuality it is the 'mad cowboy disease?' Cows are herbivores, then why in the world are they being fed dead animals. further, i was told that the local muslim butcher buys sick animals because theyre cheaper! what the??

i will never look at biryani the same way again. what do i do? how do i know im not eating an omnivore (which are like kind of erm forbidden)? worse how do i know im not eating the entrails of some poor sick animal whose been fed his dead mommy because her dead bodys cheaper than cow feed. barf.

do i raise my own cow? right. i think ill just have to eat more veggies and fish. fish is safe? yey.

Lead such a life, that, when you die, the people may mourn you, and while you are alive they long for your company.
