He is nearly two and yet the only comprehensible words that come out of his mouth are Tethe and saaaa. And yes, a hit of the epiglottal “grrrr” as well, serving as a possible prelude to Go (of the ready steady series). Some speak faster, some take their time. I don’t quite concern myself yet, …
I read somewhere that we have the best healthcare accessible to us – best that we as a species have ever had. But we also are the most vulnerable – given the reduced immunity and dependence on the very medicines that have increased our life spans. The rich bio-diversity has also shrunk constantly, to a …
It’s Black Friday. Or Yellow Friday, or White Wednesday, or whatever color is offered in this part of the world by a particular retailer. It’s getting so weird, it’s not even funny anymore. And its in-your-face lies that is peddled in the name of discounts. The prices are shown discounted, but from a price that …
