Bewitched

Happy Halloween...That famous holiday in the US of A where kids dress up like ghoulies and gorge on candies that will accelerate them to an early grave. So much for spreading the festive cheer. The only thing that inspires some joy is that the Simpsons have a Halloween special. Even then, Marge Simpson on a broomstick does not make up for a lot.
So many disasters later, who needs a holiday to celebrate the macabre? Check with Pakistan. They've got too many real corpses to bother dressing up like one. Still, itz the little things that keep the ragged shreds of humanity together.
So, college closed for study vacs. Don't even get me started on that. I wonder why I turn into such a vindictive, vituperative(mildly) and wordy critic when I'm confronted with a keyboard. Ask my friends. I make a career out of being really tolerant. Maybe that's why...
The very idea behind networking sites is to stay in touch with friends and make new ones,correct me if I'm wrong. Then why do people think ignoring people you meet online is appropriate? Not that I've had a personal experience..I ignore most people anyway,regardless of where we met.
When I have new grievances,I'll be back. I'm bored now.

well said.. its is sadly the very small and simple things that keep us human.. everyone has their on sad stories to say but a few things can bring a smile to those faces.. if u could make a person smile, you have achieved something great by doing a very simple thing.. the sad part is that in the world now you rarly find time for yourself, so how u gonna find time for others.. that is where these festivals play their part.. :)
