Curiosity- "Curiosity killed the cat" is "but, satisfaction brought it back".



Bourne identity
Last week I received a call from my friend and he mentioned that he has uploaded his family photos so that I give it a ‘Like’ on his Face book page. I laughed out loud; of course after I cut the call. In one another incident; I heard from my friend about a lady, NRI who has always considered her friends as her big time competitors and wanted to establish her success among her friends, she planned very well and found a cross border husband. This Cleopatra has hired a Pro. Model photographer and had a complete photo shoot with her husband so raunchy as to publish it on Fb and make her friends feel ‘J’. “Mind you she is not in my friend’s list”.  
Many consider men and women in the Global south are more orthodox and with good cultural values; on the hind sight it appears to be contrary. The developed countries where we crave to get permanent resident status have more culture abiding 'South Asian Diasporas' than on the other side. So you find spouses better once in your neighbourhood instead. Unfortunately here, we attempt a lot to camouflage ourselves to behave like westerners and our true identity is lost.
My school of thought and curiosity here is do we just upload our day to day photographs just for friends to appreciate and feel Huh! this guy is having fun feeling or are we genuinely interested in his or her welfare and share happy moments.

There are several explanations as to the origin of this expression. According to scientists, whenever a volcano erupts, the sulphur and dust particles that are thrown up into the atmosphere often cause the moon to appear blue for some time. When the volcano on Krakatoa (an island between Java and Sumatra) exploded in 1883, rocks were hurled thirty miles high into the air and dust from the volcano fell nearly three thousands miles away. After this eruption the moon looked blue for several days. Luckily for us, volcanoes don't erupt every day, so a blue moon continues to be a rare phenomenon. Another explanation offered by scholar...

"Don't count your chickens before they hatch"? English Edification Enrichment (20)

What is the meaning and origin of the idiom, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"? Some people, as soon as they buy a lottery ticket think they are going to win. They begin to make plans as to what they are going to do with the money when they get it. When you tell such a person "not to count your chickens before they hatch" what you are doing is warning him. You are telling the individual not to celebrate prematurely; you are advising him not to count his profits before he has the money in his hand. You are asking him to wait for the lottery results to be announced before he starts making plans. Here are a few examples, * Ask Sam. He may be willing to lend you some money.
