Stumped

What do I do in that spare time, when I am not all about myself ?
Umm. Hmm. Stumped. I don't remember having such spare time.

Moral Human

What is morality ? Is morality right doing ? Is an act moral or the human ? Is there a difference ? In my perception, there is. If I say a human is moral, it doesn't make sense. I believe lying, cheating, is natural to humanity, like anger, lust and greed. Infact, if we look at it a little closely, lying and cheating, are instruments of self-preservation and fullfillment. Fullfilment of conflicting desires.

While Bangalore continues to host the bulk of India's IT business and is home to more than 1,500 top firms, poor roads and traffic woes are now pushing IT firms to look beyond Bangalore -- to newer cities like Chandigarh, hundreds of miles north
Good because chandigarh is on my list of cities to live in !
Bad because Chandigarh is apparently one of the most beautiful cities of India. Imagine it has been only a few years since IT came to bangalore, and bangalore has migrated from is one of them to was one of them!
