Bric a brac

This page is the dumpster, the cavernous, faceless, identity-less posts that cannot be categorized easily into the other categories. They're not quite Travel, Food or Memoirs. They're not about Writing, they're certainly not Poetry or Fiction. Some are opinions pieces and right before I created this page they were tagged as "Opinion". However, not all of these are strictly opinions. Some are mere observations, others rants.

Anyway, here are all of those tired, unwashed and careworn denizens of this blog. I have to say some of these are not bad posts, it's just that they're like me; hard to define, or one could say, alphabetize, analyze, arrange, assort, brand, break down, catalogue, class, codify, distinguish, docket, file, grade, group, index, label,  match, order, organize, peg, pigeonhole, regiment, segregate, sort, systematize, tabulate, tag, ticket, type, typecast. You get the general idea, right?

That's not to say I haven't tried categorising them. Just don't blame me if the category doesn't quite fit the slot..... In other words, I am blameless in this matter.

About Entitlement

An Edmonton teacher is likely to be fired for giving students a zero for not handing in their work. Apparently, giving zero harms the esteem of the students and the school board wants to hand out an “incomplete” grade. The teacher says that does not prepare kids for real life....Continue reading

Anna and the Change.

Some time ago, the Slo-Man had expressed his skepticism on the Indian political movement aimed at “eradicating corruption”. Readers can read the original post here. And time and the subsequent turn of events has done nothing to diminish the Slo-Man’s conviction that creating an expensive, bureaucratic, state-controlled monster is of no...Continue reading
