Setting a couple of goals for myself

Today i did something, I did not think myself capable of doing

Movie review: Without a Clue
If you are fan of Sherlock Holmes... #books, TV series or movies...then you will definitely enjoy the movie, "Without A Clue." It is extremely hilarious and works on the premise that it is actually Dr. Watson and not Sherlock Holmes who is the super sleut
Travelling always gives me a massive headache

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry...a personal rant

Why wouldn't you say where you are from?
I was going through the Member's List on homepage today and saw that a large number of members have declined to say which country they are from. Many have "No Location Specified" in the location column. I find this a little strange. I wonder if this is an

So where are the pizza posts?

Time, where are thou!
I sometimes feel that it is a myth that there are 24 hours in a day. Where do these hours and minutes go? I don't sleep for more than 6 hours a day. I wake up early but still it seems to me that there's never enough time to complete all the tasks and

The amazing powers of baking soda

Book review: Oblivion
