Your funny bone is definitely as big as your femur!If you aren’t a smart person, you probably think Silicon Valley is Pamela Anderson’s cleavage. No! Just because Pamela Anderson has gone for silicon implants…one can’t take it literally.
Silicon Valley is the southern part of San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California, USA and a region where high-tech companies (and mostly internet-based) come up every day. Way back in 2000 A.D., …

Sharp at 8 p.m., last Wednesday, our house plunged into darkness. Since I was really tired I decided to make the legendary two-minute noodle meal and hit the sack at the earliest.
I looked around for my Emergency Light and switched in on…it was still dark because I had forgotten to charge it. I looked for a candle and found a single birthday candle hidden in a corner, which I couldn’t use because the wick had been pulled out.
Though ‘dark’ had been a deterrent in the earlier days of …

In a series of “What If” articles, we had earlier discussed What if there were no women in the World and What if I were an egg….
In this article belonging to the “What if” family, we will discuss the possibilities of humans not having ears. If the question is “What if we didn’t have ears?” the answers will be –
As soon as we are born, we will avoid the frightening statement by the gynecologist: “Nurse, hand me the scissors. I need to cut this guy’s huge placenta.”

This is part of my series where I look at an image and come up with a story. Here are my two earlier, similar attempts - On why I hate chicken and Fallen Angels

You probably don’t know but I was once a very famous jockey. Serious. OK fine…if you don’t believe me…I have proof…I am just 165 cms tall!
Being a famous jockey helped me hobnob with the best of the society. During the day I mixed with the prettiest ladies in the land and at night I mixed drinks with …

Some say that Adam got bored and asked God to give him a companion. Some say, God wanted Adam to sacrifice his one leg and one hand at the altar, if he wanted a companion. And when Adam requested God to give him somebody for whom he will only have to sacrifice a rib, God sent a woman. None of this can be believed.
Here is the truth: God made man and finding himself in good form…came up with a better creation – the woman. (Did I just hear the ladies …

Rekha wants me to upgrade my wardrobe. Believe me, survival can be difficult if your wife believes in keeping wardrobes clean and organized. Especially, if after you have spent close to four hours setting it up according to your wife’s wishes…she suddenly says: “Honey, why don’t you upgrade your wardrobe?”
In moments like this, man starts hating clothes, and dreams about a world without them. Can you imagine a world without shirts, trousers or sarees? I did…
If only Adam & Eve hadn’t touched the apple, we all would today be roaming …

Sometimes…I wonder what would have happened if I were born in a poultry. Would I have been a human or a chick? What if I had been a chick…not the ‘pretty-chick’ kind of chick…but the egg-laying kind.
Guess, I would have just decorated the wire cage in a chicken stall until it was my time to decorate Sunday’s lunch plate.
But what if I were left to be an egg…perhaps…to decorate a Monday morning breakfast plate. Would my brothers and sisters worry about me when I became an omelet? Maybe. Maybe not.

I know it sounds kind of kinky, but soon all kinds of meat will be made in labs. Don’t believe me? Read this The Sun Online article.
It could be years before the lab-meat gets supplied to our homes….but the news has shocked me. So many things that I love today will no longer exist after the lab meat is readily available. In fact, the whole practice of meat eating will change.
Right at the outset, vegetarians will have no excuse but to turn non-vegetarian. The age-old excuse that they can’t kill …
