It's on paper...

It's expensive, old and useless after a day!! and yet, it's in demand, always!

What is it about a newspaper that no other news media has? you go to BBC.com or CNN.com and you are treated to the latest and the most important events happening in the world. But a newspaper on the other hand reports something that happened a day ago. What's worse, after a month, all you are left with is a pile of junk. A newspaper in dull, black ink on white paper. Yet, the subscriptions don't fall. It doesn't make sense to think that a person would spend his hard earned dollar to read outdated news?

I personally spend about 10 mins everyday with newspapers. Why do I do it? well, I have my reasons, but I would like to think that they are also the reason why newspapers still exist after all, they are part of yesterday (pun intended). A newspaper is (as the name says,) on paper. It's so much believable when it's on paper since it cannot be manipulated as easily as a website. And for me, newspaper is not about knowing what's happening in the world, it's about spending some 'me' time. Like, going to a spa. It's relaxing. I bet you haven't seen anybody sipping coffee, eating chips and reading news online!!

So, I think that the newspaper is a tool that we use to shut out all the chaos of our daily lives and escape into, say, a calm, unpopulated beach!! It's Relaxing!!

Fishy gift

This is what I hate most about pets! When they die, you kinda lose a part of your life. It's heart wrenching!


My birthday was last month. I hosted an impromptu dinner. That's where the trouble started. People couldn't think of gifts to get me on my Bday. While, mostly I got T-Shirts and Vases, one couple got me a goldfish. Within a week, I was very protective of it. I put it's meal before mine. Today morning it was lying at the bottom motionless. I dont even know for sure whether it's dead. Frankly, i dont have the courage to check. Am just expecting the worst and waiting to ask someone else to clear up the mess, i am too weak to do it.


To sum up, my fish died, am sad and I have to never have fish pets again. EVER!


It's okay to have dogs or cats. They are big and are capable of takin care of themselves. The smaller the pet, the higher the maintenance! If you dont feed your dog for 2 or more days, it'll manage to find some food on its own (and it can eat pretty much anything and still live). But do the same for a fish, and it's a heartbreak waiting to happen.


So, am just gonna play some chess in my mobile to dilute the pain...will write later ;)

Tattoo Regret

so, you got a tattoo? nice! wait, it's not permanent is it? IT IS?! Dude, what's wrong with you? You should never  get a permanent tattoo (unless you broke up with your soul-mate).


It's one of those things. You did it cuz it felt right, and it doesnt take long for the 'new' to fade away and the regret to flow in. That's exactly what's happening with my blog name. I mean, 'The G Philosophy'?! What was I thinking?! I thought about changing it. But that kinda steps over the point of this whole blog. You woundt write something in a dairy, tear it up and rewrite it would you? So, i guess am just gonna move on.

The 'G' Philosophy

They say that inspiration strikes with something new (whoever 'they' are?!).


I beg to differ.


I think inspiration strikes with something old, really old. take this blog for example. Why did I start blogging? cuz I was bored. I just wanted to do something that I wouldn't hate after doing it, say, 'for a while'. I suddenly realized what a pleasurable feeling it is to write. To get your thought across on paper (or on my PC).I have even started writing a book. Now, I may not finish the book, and this blog ma never be read by any other person, but that's not the point. The point is, if somebody reads it, I am part of the online blogging community. If nobody does, then this blog is my personal dairy. I wont make promises of regular updates. I'll just blog, whenever and wherever....wait for it....INSPIRATION STRIKES ;)
