If hair is given to God and I buy a wig with this hair, am I God?

I have spoken a lot about hairs. Hairs in the ears which is more developed in India than other countries (see: ). Hype rtrichosis. Hairs that grow more in India due to the humid climate (see here ). Hairs that Sikh people let grow and put in a turban (see here ).  Hairs that a cricket star shaved after winning a game (see here ). And I have probably...

Russ treated his bride-to-be...

Asian dad, white mother, coming from a brown belly?? Easy!!

Every time I go to the Foreign Registration Office (which happened quite a b it last year) I see white adults with tiny babies. All kind of people – sometimes two men, sometimes a man and his mother etc. So it got me thinking. What are they doing here??

The encounter of the day…

The other day I was walking down the street, all light – and I was that I must have lost some weight which I remember because it does not happen so often!! A guy stops me. Bollywood style: tight jeans, muscles, sunglasses, ears pierced. I’m listening to my music full volume so I could pretend I haven’t heard him but I decide to have some fun and see what he wants. He gives me his...

She was vividly pictured in this movie, with a few suggestive scenes and A LOT of boobs (clivage) showing!!   Two things caught my attention from the audience. The first one was an exclamation (of sheer surprise) from a...
