    What would your ex- say about you?

    March 15, 2007March 7, 2023

    Maybe I’ve just been watching too many episodes of Sex and the City but then, I’ve also been pondering on committment-phobias a lot recently.

    The Label On Me Says…

    We all know that men never listen. Hearing is the curse of the non-masculinity endowed. I’ve had to remind certain people of things I’ve stated categorically earlier. I am a great friend. I’m worth my weight (or in my case, at least fifty times my weight) in gold as a…

    Happiness has nothing whatsoever to do with what’s happening in your life but at least a little to do with how you feel about it. And in my case, peace of mind too, I think. My name means harmony and sometimes that thought makes me (and other people laugh). But…

    Now for a post on something I’ve been meaning to write on for a long, long while. It should have come earlier, I know so much about the subject after all. Why do women love bad boys? As a confirmed bad boy-o-holic myself, I wonder why I’m continuing to make…

    Where do we look for the truth? And how do we know if the answers we find are the right ones? Which voices do we listen to? Several centuries of mankind and so much to show at the end of it…. science, technology, mathematics, art, culture, religion. Each one is…

    I’m a closet romantic. I spew venom about my ex-es on my other blog and I scoff at mushy couples. I went out with a couple of women from work recently. Over a sandwich I contributed to the inevitable girly conversation with my brand of male-bashing and cynicism. Then one…
