vijigopi yeah.. I thought so too.. but I was afraid of being embarassed to show that I know nothing about these. I thought everybody would know naturally, and unfortunately, I don't know any of the other parents, so I guess it would be better to ask the teacher what...

vijigopi That's nice to know but whoever heard of trillionaire not willing to part with more than a dollar a second. It would take me just a year to spend the whole thing I guess if I know where I am going to spend it with in the first place .

vijigopi I live in the USA,and Hindu temples here have a lot of American visitors too. So long as you dress decently(I mean in clothes that are not too tight or revealing), you should be able to pull it off. Some people who are new to USA might find a westerner in a...

Okay.. So this is what I was trying to ask. It didn't fit the subject line. Hehe. :) Does it make you feel weird when you feel emotional pain and then you actually feel it in your chest? I find it so surreal, to feel emotional...

vijigopi Its not that your mind and body are not connected. How then do you explain tears? I have had a lot of experience like this... sometimes it would feel as if your heart would burst due to the pain being experienced. It is because our emotions control our body...

vijigopi If u don't want to worship idols.. the answer is simple.. don't. What do you have to do with people who do worship idols.. That is none of your business. What each man's faith is.. he goes by that. We don't need to criticise any one for their beliefs. A Hindu...

vijigopi I don't have a diary because ...First, I am very lazy to sit down every day and write whatever happens in my day. Second, I feel uncomfortable writing in a diary because if I write something in my diary when I am angry or sad, and someone else happens to read...

Before, students go to the library for book when they research. But now, by a click of the keyboard, they get the information they want. Do you still prefer to research in books than in the internet?

vijigopi For me, there's nothing like curling up with a good book. It is tough to read a whole book just sitting in front of the computer and the light from the PC usually tires me out very soon. But if it is some stuff I need to know right away, I prefer the internet....

when your skin is wet or dry? I have always heard to moisturize your skin when you get out of the shower when it is still wet, since this locks in the moisture. However, when I do that, the lotion seems to just wipe off of my...

vijigopi Well, this explains it then. I was wondering why my skin was more manageable if I applied lotion just after towelling after a shower and felt dry faster if I applied otherwise. So, maybe it is better to apply lotion just after you shower but after towelling it...

vijigopi My name is not unique in my country. So, people do call it properly. But ever since I have been living in the US, people have a lot of difficulty pronouncing it. Sometimes when they ask me my name to write in a record, I just spell it out to them and after I...
