A Family Story about Biscuit Pudding "Hence what h A Family Story about Biscuit Pudding "Hence what has become ‘CBP’ today was known as ‘Gateaux’ in our household courtesy my aunt Manique who jazzed it upto a level that I have not seen even today. This was a good 20 years ago. The biscuits were soaked in milk with brandy or rum and in between these delectable layers she would strew cut up bits of ginger preserve and pumpkin preserve."

"But these young people have parents still policin "But these young people have parents still policing them. So what do they do? They sneak into places they are ‘forbidden’ to enter and then spend their time telling known people “You didn’t see me”. There are also those who are in relationships with people of a different religion, ethnic community or social class and these too are also taboo. Hence the need to tell known devils, “My parents don’t know”."

My First Time to Sinharaja Rainforest "Pitcher pl My First Time to Sinharaja Rainforest "Pitcher plants full of fluid and insects, beautiful ‘pus wel’ and colourful bright pink and purple leaves and a pathway littered with fallen leaves was what led us to the Mulawella trek. The route was a decent climb – not hard if you are used to hiking. There were rocky bits here and there and the use of a hiking stick was much appreciated especially to avoid slipping and sliding (something yours truly greatly fears)."

Music, Assholes & a Day's Rantings. "So now here’s me, listening to Hallelujah by Pain of Salvation. It’s the middle of the night. I am supposed to be productive. Instead I am listening to this and with it some indignant memories of the asshole. The song actually has quite an interesting arrangement. What the asshole drew my attention to was the high note the vocalist hits. Quite phenomenal, for a man. As a woman, I hadn’t noticed."
