I had the most glorious weekend going boating. Me and my colleagues decided to go boating off the Marina Beach. Ravi, who used to stay near Fore Shore Estate earlier, got his friends to lend their boat to us; complete with life jackets.
It was fantastic! I never thought so much fun awaited me just a [...]

I am always surprised about how religious fanatics are extremely concerned about the morality of women. The menfolk’s morality or immorality is not their concern and neither do you find it preached about in our churches’ pulpits.
Every culture has its own customs and traditions to protect and guard the womb. The dress restrictions [...]

Being an atheist from a Christian background, people automatically assume I’m angry with God and dead against the church. For me, I’m indifferent to the whole “God exists or not” debate. While I don’t think Christ was God, I do like him for being a radical in his times. I like him because
a)he didn’t act [...]

Well, I guess I have to face facts. I have become overweight and my doctor has told me to join the gym. There must be something so fattening about marriage. Before marriage, I was a svelte and extremely skinny 54 kg at 5.7′. Then I became a 66 kg (for my height I should be [...]

If you are a fan of Tamil cinema (I hate saying the word Kollywood as much as I hate the other proteges of Hollywood like Tollywood, Bollywood & worst of all Mollywood), you would [...]
Figuring out things!
Posted in The Muses, tagged atheist, bears, free talk-time, T R Rajendran on September 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Actually I’m yet to figure out a lot of things like
1) Why some kind readers on this blog, insist on “God blessing” me, despite the fact that I have mentioned quite often that I’m an atheist?
2) Why do alarm clocks have the most irritating sound on earth and yet fail to sufficiently wake me?
3) Why [...]

I have been charged with official “blog neglect”. I am “Guilty, as charged, your honour.” In my defense, I can only state that there are too many lovely things going on in the world. I have suddenly developed an interest in financial reporting I am keenly watching how the AIG issue develops.
On the personal front, [...]
