Ball of Choas

Many of us fear difference, many of us don't like change or change in others and this is the simple truth that exists today. No matter where you go in this world you will find racism be it in America, Europe, Africa or Asia - it is a deadly disease with no escape. I've lived in a country whose fabrics were torn apart by racism, with scars that are deeply engraved in the psyche of the country after long years of war. But even after the making it through the grim years of the war and destruction we still allow years of mistrust to continue when in all reality we should be abandoning all suspicion. Some blame the government and others blame the conspiracy that's a plan to resurrect the terrorist group that once brought hell onto this country. I'm not sure I believe in the conspiracy and I'm not easily swayed by government promises as I see all governments to be egocentric beings that wish to do themselves good. However, I do believe in people, I believe in their ...

The monsoon season has come back around for us and it is flexing its arms, quite strongly in fact. With almost daily rains and winds which seems to sweep you off your feet. I am a rain lover, I would take rain over the scorching sun any given day, specially when you live in a tropical country where you sweat profusely even if you step outdoors for a few seconds. While I do love the rains in this little tea drop of a nation, it does sometimes causes inconvenience like for example unable to walk outside because doing so would cause you to get drenched in water. This is far worse when you use public transport to travel because getting wet in inevitable, in such situations you have 3 options; 1. Stay indoors till the rain passes over to go outside 2. Bring an umbrella so that you seek its safe heaven when the sky breaks loose  3. Or my personal favorite, say rain be damned and make a run for it Option one is attractive if you still have a lot of work or friends to keep ...

The future is a very scary place to imagine, with the increase in demands for raw materials which outweighs the supply rate we are in an inevitable collision course to our own sealed destruction. This  Article provides a very real projection of what will happen within the next 2-4 decades, supported by the factual data present today, with the eventual climate change, which takes a severe turn to the worst, to the overpopulation and deforestation of the remaining forest cover in the world. It has been a prediction since the beginning of the 21st century that the current life style of the world cannot be sustained for the prolonged future. With the advancement of technology, international politics of the world the crime rate, pollution, overpopulation is a resultant effect with the years to come. There is no doubt that by the mid 21st century more than half of the world's population would be middle income and with the elevation of the status the more money people will have to spe...

Euthanasia. The act of helping someone to take their own life, or more commonly known as mercy killing. This has been an ongoing debate since modern times, trying to argue whether if it is justifiable or not but yielding no results. Only a few countries in the world has allowed for euthanasia take place whilst a large majority of it remains very much against it. Often the reasons cited by countries for not allowing euthanasia ranges from the fundamental right to live to the more unsubstantiated argument that it would encourage suicide, and all the while letting people who desperately need it to suffer mercilessly. One of the Universal rights that is recognized is  that of the right to life, where no one can kill another and is enshrined in almost every constitution and the universal declaration of human rights. However strangely no one ever thought of the right to die, the right for a person to choose their own death when they want to. Of course this does not mean that the righ...

No one really tells you how mundane it can be not doing anything, with no purpose and waiting for something to happen but it doesn't. This is exactly what I do when I go to work. My current daily life follows something of this sort; 6.00 a.m : wake up with a grouchy feeling, hating the fact that I have to get up so early, reminiscing the days gone by when I could wake up at 10 in the morning. 6.30 a.m : have a bath, brush teeth, get dressed and then onto breakfast. 6.45 a.m : start heading off to work and get on the bus 6.50 - 8.00 : contemplate the greater meaning in life and what I have planned out for my future and things to get done, whilst all the time taking in the ambiance of the morning life where the buses are jam packed and the morning unfolds. 8.15 am : get to work prompt and early so as to make sure that my measly salary is not deducted further. 8.15 a.m - 12.30 p.m : browse through the internet for random things that momentarily interests me such as what ...

I remember trying to memorize the multiplication tables when I was small, trying my hardest to remember it all but when it eventually fails I opt for the next best method, by cheating. I used to be a below average student, often not being interested in the homework or studies that I had to do. Since I didn't do it by myself my mother became my tutor, over the weekend she will make sure that I got my homework done, which included remembering my multiplication tables. Having always been bad at anything to do with numbers I opted to write the multiplications in the palm of my hand and recite the whole thing to her while she was busy ironing the clothes. I would quickly recite what was written on my hand in fear that she would turn around and catch me reading from the palm of my hand. While at the time I always thought that I was clever and stealthy, my mother happened to be cleverer. She would immediately know when I was pulling a fast one on her. She would turn around and then tel...
