Arguing with Wife

Arguing with Wife

Do you argue with wife? I always told my wife,” Check each piece before you cook anything or even wash anything in water.” She always replied, “You are too much. I know what to do.

I came from office at about 8.30 and saw White Beans dipped in a large plastic glass. Anandi said, “See. I will prepare…


Missing

Missing

I knocked on the door but my wife did not open the door. I said, “Sorry, I will not flirt with any girl in future.” But she did not open the door. May be she knew that I would promise not to flirt but would find opportunity to do this again. The toy car suddenly came and stopped near my feet. I smiled and reversed the direction of the car towards my six year old daughter. She had the remote in her hands. She loved playing with cars. I always…

Boost food production by fixing a flaw in photosynthesis

Boost food production by fixing a flaw in photosynthesis

One of the evolution’s biggest mistakes has been the enzyme that grabs hold of CO2 and adds it to a carbon chain, holds an oxygen molecule by mistake. This generates toxic molecules that plants have to expend energy to mop up. Initially it was not a major issue since there was little oxygen around. But subsequently it became a problem as oxygen levels rose and CO2 levels declined. The grabbing of oxygen by mistake called photorespiration now happens so often that it has reduced photosynthesis efficiency by 50%. But the…

I reached Park at around 11.00 in the morning and looked out for ticket counter. There was no ticket but there were few Buggys that would take you inside the park so that you…

Smoking without Smoke

Have you ever heard of IQOS. It is I Quit Ordinary Smoking. This is a new way of tobacco companies encouraging smokers to smoke without being noticed by regulatory authorities across the globe.

Unlike the conventional cigarettes the heat…


Angry Djinns slap at Jamali Kamali

Angry Djinns slap at Jamali Kamali

I do not believe much in ghosts and spirits but equally do not negate their existence. There are stories and believes that Jamali Kamali Tomb in Mehrauli Archaeological Park is contributing to ‘Bhooton ki Dilli’. Jamali was the alias of Shaikh Jamali Kamboh, a Sufi saint from the pre-mughal era. Kamali was an unknown person associated with Jamali. The tomb was named as Jamali Kamali as both were buried next to one another. When some DU students came to explore the park they didn’t feel any negative vibe though they…
