She said they (old people) behave like kids as they grow up...I said no..

vanny @vandana7 (100303) • India 15 Aug

They are worse. I mean, with kids, you can tell them, you will not get this if you don't do this. You can scold. You can bribe... Try that with my 90 year old father, and he will refuse to have his meal or medication. I am so...

hora_fugit I know I am going to be your dad in my old age. But children are no less, you just forgive them because you like babies.

I have a gay friend. He has been kind to me. Very kind. As a kid. Then things turned nasty for him. He got thrown out of job. For reasons then unknown to me. As a grown up, he stayed aloof..did not remain as much of a friend as...

hora_fugit I thought it was legalized long ago? Maybe I remember it wrong and the ruling given by SC at that time didn't hold a value.... I don't really like the hearts in the right place :) Kind of roads to hell paved with good intentions thing....

How far the anger...

vanny @vandana7 (100303) • India 19 Apr 23

Today, at this moment, I am filled with guilt...and yet... Ok...this aunt blamed me for the death of her husband, simply because I saw her in an accident in my dream, and told her. My dreams are weird. I saw our god inside a...

hora_fugit In this regard I am basically a bad person. Though I would rather have nothing to do with such situations. Your aunt has a serious need to impose herself and seems her daughter is affected too.

I love our judges...seriously....Indians stand by them, they have it tough

vanny @vandana7 (100303) • India 19 Apr 23

The job of Judges is not easy. They cannot decide cases immediately. They could go wrong. I have read a few patent related depositions, and I can tell you I felt both parties were rightful owners...based on those depositions. A...

Hanging out with parents

Sheali @Sheali (7461) • India 9 Apr 23

Till what age did you enjoy going out with parents? As kids, everyone wants to stay with their parents all the time and miss them if they go anywhere leaving them at home. But as kids grow up into teenagers or adults, most enjoy...

hora_fugit Going out with them I enjoyed always, still do. Sitting home with them was sometimes very tough. I like my own company, then the family (not relatives), and then friends if any.

hora_fugit When "they" decipher our knowledge and claim the ownership, I don't feel cheated. I feel hurt. Not by them. And when they claim it's theirs as a finder-keeper because it came from a "dead" language/culture, I feel infuriated. At them too, this time.

How do Movies Really Work?

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29413) • Eugene, Oregon 7 Apr 23

I love movies, even went to them by myself when I was a kid. These days, I watch them on TV and still love them. Because I have done some work as an extra on TV shows and movies filmed here in Oregon, I see the way it works and...

hora_fugit I like people more than I like movies, so there is not a genre I wouldn't watch... if I have to. It's great you acted in a movie. Possibly I will find it and watch the part you feature in. :) I like science fiction which involve character stories.

Customer Service is the pits!

Pretty and I were doing our shopping this evening and I realized I needed to buy a new pre-paid card for my cellphone. (The card isn't due until the 9th but why wait?) When I tried to add my card, the pre-paid site said the card...

Anything goes with Ads these days

Always smiling @allknowing (136645) • India 12 Nov 22

I am kind of a proactive and do write to those concerned on Ads that according to me should be banned. I have succeeded in the withdrawal of many Ads but this one still finds a place on tv channels....

hora_fugit How to highlight then? I didn't like the ad but that's because I don't like anything so-called 'youthful' these days At least 4 out of 5 young ladies (as DE says) looked real.

I think this horse is part of the Movember movement

Judy Evans @JudyEv (340286) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Nov 22

hora_fugit I don't make a lot of acquaintances, at least not the ones in visiting distances, so it's quite uncomfortable for me to go to parties. Though there have been a few enjoyable ones where my invisibility was respected LOL. I am happy you had a good time :)

Are Hindu students allowed to wear the dot on forehead?

vanny @vandana7 (100303) • India 11 Feb 22

If so, then courts have no right to speak of uniformity exclusively for hijab. If uniformity has to be implemented that dot on forehead should also disappear. Are Hindus prepared for that? What a controversy to break the nation...
