Nice comments guys!

Once there was a clock in my grandpa's house! in Art JoeUser Forums

Once I participated in a creative writing workshop. It went something like this. All the participants sat on a round table. And each wrote a line and passed it to the next. The next one then wrote another line and folding all other lines except the one he just wrote and passed it to the next. And it went on- it was real fun

Women should be dumb and men deaf! in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Men and women look at even simple things so differently. For example, my wife once asked me to accompany her to buy a shirt for our second daughter. On the way to bye it, she came acrosse a nice baby suit and started bargaining. I reminded her that we came for a shirt and not a baby suit. She told me that she was just enquiring about the prices,that's all. Th

This site still sucks ! in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I have written about 17 articles on this site. But for most of it I hardly get any comments or replies. Whats the fun if there is ni interactivity or sharing of viewpoints which,I believe, is the very heart and soul of bloggin. This site still sucks, dear fellow bloggers. Dont you think so?

Who says there is global village and info superhighway? in Usenet Discussions JoeUser Forums

Hey I love the Internet and the wonders of the IT revolution but I am also a bit cynical about the whole damn thing. OK there is promise of 'a global village' and 'the information superhighway' but for whom? Is there a free , countryside spirit as in the actual village? Or are we talking about an info island paradise for the haves only. How many peop

I once read a nice book,can you tell me the title & author? in Art JoeUser Forums

I once read a nice little book but I have forgotten the title and author of it. It starts with the greek legend of sisyphus whom the great greek gods were angry with for his fierce independence. He was thus condemned to roll up a large boulder up a steep hill. The moment he pushed it to the summit, it started rolling down itself. And Sisyphu

A dog's blogs in Humor JoeUser Forums

Hello all fellow canine bloggers! This is my blog. I am a german sheperd-age 3 years. It's so difficult to use the keyboard. My 'boss' is out and I got the comp for some time luckily. Oof, these selfish humans, they make the keyboard without realizing how a dog will type there, can't there be some ergonomic designs fit for

Watching full moon night under the neon lamps! in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

I am new to this city. It's 11-30 pm. Back in my small town, ppl sleep by 9-30/10 at the most. But this city is still wide awake. As they say, hte night is still young! The full moon comes up, fully decked, like a new bride on the horizon of the night sky. She smiles at the neon bulbs? And, did I see the neon lamps grimacing at the moon. Oh God, am I going senile or is my mind playing games with me?

Nanotech, biotech, infotech.....lifetech......naturetech......and so on....goes the 21st century information revolution! The other night I was watching the full moon night under the city's neon lights eating a pizza and drinking synthetic milk,hmmm. Was the moon smiling at the neon bulbs or did I see the neon lamps grimacing at the anachronistic moon? After a

Who is better: Clinton or Coelho? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Bill Clinton has now written 'my story'. From the extracts that i read, he has mentioned lewinski bieflt in passing and has said it was awful that he did what he did just 'coz he could do it. And also his tension with hillary, thier visits to the shrink and final reunion. Clinton ,after his many a strange and at times 'secret' missions of the body(and soul!), finally

Who will save the third world universities? in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

I teach in a university located in a remote corner of the third world. I often wonder if the universities in such unreached locations are serving any 'purpose' at all. If yes, what must be the mission of such universities? The world's first universities were established at Bologna, Salerno and Oxford etc during 11th/12th centuries as a "community of scholars

Can a mind anlyze itself? in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Last night, I could not sleep. So, I opened "The Alchemist" by Paul Coelho. It's a great book, about a sheperd's search for the ultimate treasure and fulfillment in life and search for his "soul". He goes to many lands, meets many beautiful girls on the way, earns money and then loses, yet he never gets fulfillment. After searching all over the worl

Is there a life after death? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Often I wonder if there is an afterlife. Or if the present life is all theres to it-no other chances? If we cannot make perfection or achieve what we intend to in this life, must we not be given another chance. Life is too short and we have many missions to accomplish. Sometimes I wish I forget all and go on a wild highway driving journey as Robert Pirsig describes

Can one do creative science in a third world setting? in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

I teach biochem and do research on soil actinomycetes and bacilli. We work in a tiny lab,smaller than a phone booth> And most of the time we face shortages of costly media,chemicals, and protocols and they are often difficult to get locally. The worst problem is acdemic isolation and lack of institutional feedback. Can one do creative science in such a setting o

Why can't we enjoy the HERE and NOW! in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Hmmm, Thats it friends. Either we long for some cherishes past moments or look forward to a perfect future. Most of the time,we just cannot enjoy the HERE and NOW. Either we are in a lousy job, or our associates are too dull or uncreative or our circumstances are too constrained. Or somehow things just dont add up. But is there some divine w

Does human life have a purpose? in Misc JoeUser Forums

We are born, study some years, take a job, get married ,make kids, do the routine for some years, then grow old and die. Do we leave any lasting impression? Does our brief stay on this planet make any siginficant difference. In other words, except for geniuses,business tycoons,scientists,inventors and leaders, for most of us ordinary mortals

Can great teaching and excellent science go together? in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

I mean there are great teachers. And there are excellent researchers/scholars/scientists. But combining great teaching and excellent research in one individual-isn't it a rare phenomenon. Except ,of course,persons like Richard Feynman who was a great teacher and excellent physicist. One hears of hawking as a great physicist but never heard of him as a great t

Hello all who yearn for creativity in Welcome JoeUser Forums

I teach biochem and try doing research on soil actinomycetes and bacilli in a remote corner of the third world. I often wonder can one be creative and original in the midst of so many odds.
