Food........For Thought.

The lexicon meaning of 'Food for Thought' is 'anything that provides mental stimulus for thinking', 'intellectual nourishment' etc. But, recently I came across a website that made me think of another meaning for the same.

The website contains a kind of Quiz on Vocabulary. For every word that you get right, United Nations donates 20 grains of Rice to help fight world hunger; so the site says. True or not, you don't lose anything trying to play the game, right? Give it a try, your 'Thought' might help someone with 'Food'. Now, that's what I call......'Food for Thought'.

There are still people who restrict temples and mosques to the respective religions. Little do they realize the fact that there is only one supreme power. Its we who depict the almighty in different forms. If each of us are asked to depict or visualize the supreme being, each one would have a different pictur...

Inconvenient Truth!!

Ever wondered why there has been abrupt changes of climate/weather all across the world? Ever thought why the summers are getting hotter, and winters colder? Downpours no rains, floods, earthquakes, loss of coast line, and many a disaster that seem like wrath of nature. Ever thought of the reasons behind these life endangering events? "Global Warming" takes the blame for all these events of nature. Wondering who is to be blamed for Global Warming? We. All those who watched 2004's "The Day After Tomorrow" might have got a hint of the power of Global Warming. Most of us watched it as a movie; but, very few of us realized that that is a future inevitable, if proper steps are not taken to protect our "Planet Earth". Life-threating changes that started increasing beginning last decade forces us to think about Global Warming. Means to curtail the increasing fury of nature is not just a fight against Global Warming, but safeguarding the very existence of mank...
