Looking, wishing, hoping .....

This was supposed to be posted during the summer holidays, but I forgot the draft. So here it is.
I don’t think my kids enjoyed their summer this year. As it was, the only recreational thing I signed them up for was swimming for 4 weeks. It was over too soon. Then there was a 2 week camp, but that was all learning and studying, no fun at all. After that – nothing. Mostly spent reading books (good), watching TV(bad), playing computer games(worse).
Shahre Ramazan is fast approaching, and that will be plumb with the start of school. It promises to be a very very busy start of school year. - UPDATE: It was very busy, but it went very quickly.
What about me? Did I have a nice summer? Hmmm, I can’t actually decide one way or the other. Maybe somewhere in between.

Of Education - AAAH! Chocolatious

The title says it all. My chocolate favs and raves.
Chocolate for me is always Cadbury's, mostly in Mumbai, but British chocolates are not far behind.  One of my favorite is Eclairs. I have grown up with these. I still get these from India sometimes, and I always remember to have my fill - if anybody can do that:) - whenever I visit India. My kids on the other hand, can eat whatever and however many candies they can get their hands on. Some candies, I am not sure of their taste buds. I really should get their tongues checked. Any special treatment for this? No? Yes? Whatever?
My kids have their annual SATS next week. This led me to question how and when the formal training started in the human race. I got some very educational (?) answers for this at my linkedin page. I will not quote the answers here, as they are quite long. Read them yourselves, and if you want to offer your answers, post a comment here, or let me know to open the question again on linkedin. Some synopsis is required, hence: Mr. Michael Lyubomirskiy contends that the structured schooling started after the advent of the written word, whereas Prof. Bhushan Lal Handoo states that the idea of education started when the task of educating the younger generation was passed on to a so-called specialist in the community.
There is a newcomer like twitter. Blellow. I signed up there, you can follow me on twitter or blellow. I will do likewise.

Halal Pizza by Aziz Poonawalla

What happens when a Domino's pizza decides to serve to all-halal menu? The end of Western civilization, of course:

Chris Yates, 29, a hospital worker living in Moseley, Birmingham, said he was told he couldn't have a 'Meteor' pizza, topped with pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, ground beef and smoky bacon, when he called up at the weekend.
