Reborn

‘Sparky Journal’ has been dead for a long time. And from its dead, decaying body, a new blog has re-incarnated (this one, in case you are wondering 😛). Here is gathered the essence of 3 different blogs, thus transcending into more than the sum of its parts. Thus. this. blog. has.

Orkut has been infected

Just a heads-up. Orkut seems to be infected by an unknown virus. Anyone who logs in, gets his/her contacts spammed with scraps. You try to scrap them back to apologize, but, horrifyingly the virus blocks  you from doing so! *GASP* . You can’t even message. Can’t message. Can’

life

Where does it come from, this quest, this need to solve life’s mysteries, when the simplest of questions can never be answered? Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we’d be better off not looking at all. Not delving, not yearning. But

A slave’s helplessness

A death in the family

The son has put on a brave face and taken command of the situation. Ushering guests in, showing people around, handling the workers, generally running around, pushing back his grief.

A brief history of conning

The earliest memory of conning that I can remember was when a guy approahed me in the train station, asking for help. Still green those days, I lent a concerned ear to his woeful tale. He spun a fantastic tale of how misfortune befell him on his journey and how

Life in the 5th dimension

[Those who haven’t already, please head over to the here and check out the presentation on the 11 dimensions.] Life sure is good in the 5th dimension. Sometimes I wonder if we, the 3rd dimension beings , would ever be able to penetrate through the higher dimensions. Maybe it would
