Who is a Hindu:
The most boring question that i'm being asked all the time in America, is "Tell me about your religion. I want to learn about your religion". I always found myself unable to answer this question, because i always believed that it is very difficult to explain that in words. Or atleast to me. may be some expert can explain easily. but i can't. So i tell them that you have to live an entire life to understand Hinduism.

Then I hate those people (yes i said it "Those people") who belong to some church like Jehovah's witness or something like that, who knock on my door to try to convert me even though i made them clear that i'm not a christian. What will they do if i knock on their door and try to tell them the good characterisitics of my religion and why should they try it for a better after life(which we believe in). i think i might be killed if i try to do that.

I was reading Pope Benedicts message(he is currently touring Germany in which he is trying to talk to people from other religions like Jews and Muslims).
from bbc news

He urged Muslims to join Christians to try to stop the spread of terrorism, which he called a "new barbarism".

I don't know when they are going to stop people who belong to other faiths as Barbarians. It started with Ceasar several decades back in which if you are not a Roman then you are a Barbarian. So now as per Pope Benedict's words if you don't subscribe to their faith then you are a barbarian. So what do we say about all the atrocities commited by the church long back with the intention of spreading Christianity all over the world.

Gatorade or Water:
According to a recent report by a sports medicine journal, sport drinks will not do any justice if you have not been sweating profusely for more than four hours. Many of the electrolytes that are lost when you sweat can easily be replaced in an average meal. *Remember, water hydrates better than sport drinks. Water can help you only if you drink it!

Kroger and Quarters:
What's with kroger and quarters. have you ever tried to get quarters from kroger and be successful. first i tried once in cincinnati and i was told that they don't have enough quarters and now i tried in Peoria last night with the same result. it looks like they have a national policy of not giving changes(even if the customer bought something).

hmmmm

Introduction:
What is this place? What am i doing here? I'm not the kind of guy who goes around talk around my private thoughts. hey wait a minute, i'm the kind of guy who gets in trouble for speaking his mind. i meet different people everyday and realize that my feelings/idealogies are different on some contentious topics. but i can't argue about that because sometimes they are not competent enough to hold a conversation. sometimes they are not open to certain conversation and get easily offended even to realize that there are people who think like that. so i'm going to write here what really happens
