Social occasions such as wedding and reception merit celebration and feasting. True, but I'm appalled by the amount of food that goes waste. Untouched sweets and other dishes off the dinner table end up in trashcan. As if to complement the squander, I see beggars and dogs competing for what is trashed. Are we doing the right thing, I ask myself?

Minis are here to stay, better get used to them, say women A woman clad in a mini-skirt in a local entertainment spot. In this outfit, women command attention, feel powerful and beautiful and leave men mesmerised........... There it is, everywhere you look, riding above the knees and for the brave, much higher. But for the daring, it is not complete without a slit, lending it an even more provocative look. Since the mini-skirt or mini hit the fashion scene in the 60s, women took to it like fish in water and from then on, it arguably became one of the few fashion statements that have stood the test of time. What happens to men then! 'Vulnerable' Catching sight of a pretty woman really is enough to throw a man's decision-making skills into disarray.

English Edification Enrichment- Why do we say "an MBBS" and "an MP"? The rule for using the articles "a" and "an" is quite simple. Use "a" before words that begin with a consonant sound and "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound. Notice that I am not referring to the letter which a word begins with, but the sound. Try this out. Say M.B.B.S. Now say the word "monkey". Do you hear a difference between the "m" in monkey and "MBBS"?
