Effects of Legal Prostitution
I didn’t know that prostitution is legal in New Zealand. And it hasn’t resulted in increase in number of sex workers or degradation of moral values, as most opponents claim. In fact, it has led to better awareness of their legal rights, empowerment to refuse services for safety reasons, and some improvement in employment conditions.

Sex Education Done Wrong
Sex education has been making the news lately; not that it never fails to when it pops up in conversations.

Google vs. Sicko
Michael Moore’s latest documentary Sicko released this past weekend and although I have yet to see it, the reviews have been highly appreciative and even go to the extent of calling it his best work yet.

A Green Holi
I guess I missed the bus on mentioning Holi or wishing my readers a happy Holi-day, which incidentally wasn’t where I live (ok! ghissa-pita joke.) It really doesn’t matter because I think most of my readers live on this side of the Atlantic anyway (readers in India, this is the time to prove me wrong.) [...]

Does this mirror make me look fat?
We have the slim or thin fad where any woman above 120 lbs is viewed with “couldn’t you have said no to that dessert?” look. The fashion rampway in Paris was the widely publicized culprit but we always believed that we aren’t like those models who anyway wear what ‘ordinary women’ would never wear. But [...]

School health report pisses off parents
I remember the time when we had an annual health checkup in school. A doctor sometimes accompanied by a nurse would come to the school and examine students over a couple of days. We were subjected to preliminary tests including sight and hearing tests. For us as long as we weren’t in the classroom we [...]

Morgellans Disease
Now this is one disease [Morgellons] that I hope never creeps up northward toward College Station. Brrr!
