Visited the Bushmills Brewery in Ireland yesterday, which is the oldest brewery in the world. As I saw the thousands of barrels in the factory, and as the pretty Irish lass, our guide explained to all we visitors why she thought Irish whiskey was better than Scotch, I looked around and realized that what I was seeing was a trillion-dollar industry.
An industry that’s ruined families, broken relationships, and killed millions.

I heard two of the speeches in the Lok Sabha, by the two brilliant and articulate lady MPs from Bengal and even as I listened at their wonderful mastery of the English language, I could see many confused faces of other MPs even as I knew it was being translated for them.
They dislike the language because they never tried to master it.

The wise man who once said, ‘grass always looks greener on the other side,’ must have chuckled as he spoke those words, as he looked out one night and saw this young couple:
It was Valentine’s Day and they had been invited to the home of another friend and his wife who were actually their neighbours. They were quiet as they came back from their friend’s house with their little one fast asleep on his father’s shoulder; they’d had a great dinner, but the husband had noticed his wife growing quiet as the evening progressed. He’d wondered what the problem was; had their child been too naughty, or had their conversation disturbed her. But as he reflected, he couldn’t really figure what had been the cause of her change in mood. “What’s the problem?” he asked her as they let themselves into their own house.
