(C)ONLINE DATING
There’s Plenty Of Octopuses In The Sea! “There are plenty of fish in the sea,” they said. “It will be fun,” they said. I tried online dating for 6 months. All I caught was a cold. And that’s the good news…. Here’s the not-so-good news…. Women are most afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men […]
Food, Beautiful Food!
There is a mistaken notion that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. This is a fallacy. A man is all stomach, especially a Parsi. It is not a via-media to anything else. His love for food has led him to plagiarize culinary marvels from all over the world. I find it […]
