  on Apr 30, 2016
  Everyone nowadays is a wannabe film reviewer/critic/wit who will, at the slightest involuntary trigger, tell you exactly what he/she thinks are the flaws of a film and how they should have been rectified/ addressed. Every student of the humanities, i...
• What a waste !
  on Dec 9, 2015
  I have always found it strange that people availing even of a buffet at restaurants or invitations seem to waste food in great quantities. I mean, hello, it's a buffet, right? You get to choose what you want and how much you want. Strange then, that...
• A Lesson in Loudness
  on Dec 9, 2015

  on Oct 15, 2012 in school funny
