Can’t ask her out

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Some are born famous. Some made themselves. And there are those who simply deserve their share of fame. Others like me exist to showcase them to the world.

But she wouldn’t let me do it. So should I bury this to be discovered by my grand children one day? Or should I just erase it? What I really intend to do with this, I do not say. And she doesn’t know. I love that! That brings us to my favorite words in the dictionary – suspense and doubt.

Who is the person who shouts in church?

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Of late, I have noticed some lady shouting “Amen” or “Halleluiah” loudly during hymns or prayers at our Bangalore Mizo Service.

Is this a general occurance in Mizo services? I do not recall having ever heard of this in any other non-mizo service, or even in mizo services in Delhi, Bombay or Calcutta.

Of course, never having lived in Mizoram during my school/college days I do not know how it is there. I have attended Christmas services in Aizawl, but haven’t seen such a thing.

Quite a strange and funny habit of the person..

91% knows where to get condom

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Update: According to IBN Live, the awareness level is 100% in Aizawl. The real news indeed is that 8% in Aizawl said they were forced to have sex with their partners. Shocking?

Misual is getting boring

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

Misual is getting boring. It used to be a hot spot for lively, heated, and even once in a while, intelligent discussions. Now it’s become a place where someone can’t speak his mind or say what he thinks without a (more…)

The rise of The Guild and The Guardian

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

misual.com completes two years today. On Aug 9 2005, misual.com began it’s life as a news aggregation website. It was personalized earlier this year.

From this day, a team of creatures called “The Guild and The Guardian” will run and manage the blog.

The Guardian will co-ordinate the team. I will adopt The Guardian for sometime. After which, I will take admin rights away from me, to demonstrate my faith and trust in the team.

A guide book which explains how misual.com is managed/run is being drafted.

Looking for volunteer

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Changes yet again. There is a plan to build a team of volunteers to run misual.com. This team will run it as it likes (meaning independent from me). One of us (not me) had agreed to lead the team.

If you are interested in helping or joining the team, please write to me (benjaminrtz[at]gmail.com). It would be helpful if you know a little bit of HTML though. By little bit , I mean basic tags, being able to identify start and end of tag.

Help is required to bring good, well researched, well formatted stories. Also editing submitted entries. (more…)

Read “The God Father”

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Read “The God Father”: That is the assignment I gave to my niece who’s first year degree student here, under my guardianship.

She’s thru with Chetan Bhagat’s “One night at a Call Center” and “Five Point Someone”. The I gave her “The God Father”. She had to struggle through the first few pages. Eventually she started liking the story and is now past half the book.

Had she remained in Mizoram with her parents, chances are she wouldn’t have read these books.

Any suggestion (book/novel) for a first year student?
