| Science Takes Aim at Supernatural Myths | |
| All this may seem obvious, but to physicist Costas Efthimiou and other scientists, the public often isn't as skeptical as you might think. Efthimiou points to National Science Foundation reports showing widespread belief in pseudosciences -- such as vampires, astrology and ESP. It may be the season for vampires, ghosts and zombies. Just remember, t...

| Forewords - This gets so real | |
| The PrefaceThe artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things. The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt...

| Another anecdote from the collection of J. Maurus.It was an insult. George Bernard Shaw looked again. Yes, the letter was addressed to a George Bernard Shawm. In a beard-tossing fury, he roared to his wife that his correspondent could not even spell the name of the world's greatest man. Moreover, fumed GBS, there was no such word as 'shawm.'Mrs. S...

The friend who I wrote about, read both the blog and the response and arrived last night for a heart-to-heart with me. We spent all night talking. I wrote about her erotic encounter with an ex-boyfriend and both she and I agreed that the film Unfaithful came c...

| Palaniappan Chidambaram, the Finance Minister of India. Always smiling, come whatever may. Almost everyday, his profile comes across the TV, newspaper and internet and the most adorable attribute that I find, is his ‘always smiling face’. The Indian Economy has gone for a toss for a common man, but he is always calm. I wonder why the prices of g...

| [Originally published on PASSIONFORCINEMA.COM]Even the little droplets of hope that one had left after watching the decidedly bizarre promos of Laaga Chunari Main Daag are mercilessly dashed to the ground. The Yashraj stamp (or rather, stain) is so ostentatious and evident in Pradeep Sarkar"s second film that no amount of Surf Excel- or even Lux, w...

| The Real Shopping-Cart Revolution |
| Five hundred years of progress packed into a sack of flour.By J. Bradford DeLong, Wired MagHere's some food for thought.A smart shopper can buy a 5-pound bag of Gold Medal flour for 69 cents. That's enough to feed three people for a day - 7,500 easy-to-digest, relatively nutritious, and potentially tasty calories. All for less than 0.7 percent of a...

Deafening noise all around, the kind that makes your heart leap to your throat. Sporadic gunfire - even little children know how to handle guns adroitly these days. A series of explosions go off somewhere t...
