And he found a KFC


Prakash was literally bursting with urgency. He realized he should have taken care of it before he got out of his house. But now was no time for regret. There was no mall around. He was in BBMP area. And that was when he found the KFC.

Immediate. 

Profound. 

Relief ...

He had found a lavatory.

Curiosity crushed it. ---------------------------- Note: Curiosity  is a Mars rover launched by NASA that recently landed on Mars. It is a nifty bit of technology.

Our Democracy-A Farce (Part 2)

(Click here for 'Democracy-A Farce'-Part 1) Some time back I had posted a blog on our democracy being one big joke these days.
