WTF

is this?
Is this the kind of advice that’s getting doled out, nowadays?! This woman is essentially saying that if you want to travel in India, don’t do anything. Stay in your hotel room, and you might, just might, escape molestation. Actually, this is the kind of advice that is getting doled out. And was. And [...]

Vice-versa again

While I’ve been busy writing silly blog posts to avoid working, another blog feud seems to have occurred. What I can gather is this.
