There’s a place here for you with me
Shine
You’re fine
See I [...]

A Cricket Team, representing a country, NOT a Religion.
I’m not a cricket fan, ashamedly or not, except for that Lagaan cricket match that had me eating my nails. I’ve always been happy for people into the game, I’m sure its very exciting and a wonderful, unifying experience to watch a game and win/lose, share the [...]

{Please see the last post for the background on this story}
Each day I seem to become more and more disappointed with the world, more pessimistic, shall I say? And it is always wonderful, a completely warm feeling, when I realize that I’ve been wrong again….atleast today, humanity still exists, and while the evil aspect of [...]
