I read A LOT for work. Manuscripts come and go for me in a papery haze and it takes a whole lot for one of them to catch and hold my attention, being as jaded a reader as I am. So, to say that I was pleased when one such manuscript crossed my hands last week is an understatement. I was THRILLED. The yet-to-be-published novel is called LONDON IS THE BEST CITY IN AMERICA (oh, and for all of you sticklers for grammar, I realize that the titles of novels should be italicized or underlined rather than capitalized,...

Whose going to win the series and what would be the margin. As of today India is leading, 2-0 (5 more to go).
November 1, 2005 at 9:45amI doubt it this time. They are playing really well in this series. With Sachin, Sehwag, Dhoni, Dravid at the top, I think they should win the series.November 1, 2005 at 8:03amWith India, you never know. Remember, the last Indo-Pak series, India led 2-0 and lost 4 in a row. Hopefully, it won't happen with Dravid and Chappel at the helm.October 31, 2005 at 8:04pmWell... India killed Sl again today... Sangakara with a nice century, but what a knock by Dhoni... Incredible 183*. India will win the series 6-1.

I came across an organization where u can volunteer ur services as well as donate money online. The great thing about this organization is that "100% of the proceeds for the Earthquake Fund go towards relief and rebuilding efforts". Ck their website out at ur convenience: www.yespakistan.com
October 29, 2005 at 1:08amI am just concerned they do not have their own website linked to yespakistan.com. More concerned about the sectarian debates between Hinduism and Islam on the yespakistan.com f...

Assalamu-Alaikum, everyone A friend and I were having a discussion in which he brought up a pretty good idea. We think that rather than Keanu Reeves, Brandon Lee would have made a much better Neo in the Matrix trilogy. His looks were that of a mainstream whiteboy (like Keanu), but his martial arts sequences would have seemed more natural and less hokey. People in the theaters actually laughed out loud at Keanu Reeves' "kung fu" moves. So what are your thoughts? Would you agree? Or do you have someone el... Read More

Hello everyone...Just joined the village today....Funny bullied me into it :P ( love ya' funny) Reducing Aids. A recent land mark study on the global epidemic AIDS was published by French and South African researchers. The study showed what many scientists had long suspected ; that circumcision cuts the risk of AIDS dramatically by as much as 60%. Kenya and and Uganda are now also conducting similar studies. Once these studies have their result ( that is expected in 2007) circumcision will be use... Read More

I recently met a girl at a friend's party and (as most of us were Naseebers there ;)) she said to me 'Oo you should join the TallPeople village'... I said 'But I'm not even that tall, and I'm wearing heels' to which she replied 'Are you at least 5'7'?' to which I replied 'yes' to which she triumphantly exclaimed 'well, you can join then'! I thought she was joking until I just came across this village! hahaha So happy to be here and that I'm not in the short and dumpy village (it wouldn't surprise me if there... Read More

In the initial news after the disaster I was quite touched by the story of a villager who among others walked miles with spades, shovels whatever little they had t help the afflicted in the neigboring villages. One man was noted to have a bag of little plastic shoes that he distributed to the children. And i thought it was such smart thinking, he dint just grumble , complain , feel sad he actually did something, right away and with what he had. Seems no amount of donating is enough and we are unsure if it wi... Read More
