Do you know that old folk tale? Now that’s a folk tale one doesn’t hear anymore, although I think it is very applicable to South Africa today ! Because…do you know ......

H.P. Blavatsky had quite an original (partly based on Plato I think) view of the origin and future of humanity. She envisioned a past in which we were hermaphrodite. And before that sex didn’t even come into it. The sexes split yet in the future, in a more enlightened age (a long time into the future), we would merge once again. The sexless race reincarnated in the bisexual......

Why do TV programming executives love high concept shows built around the Greek classics and myths? Is it to stroke the ego of the executive producer to show how well-educated he or she is…to make mythology classic and relevant. Because the shows always fail and they drive this Classics geek up the wall because I am so obsessed that I have to watch each and every iteration crash and burn. ......

You can win ten times as many friends by talking happiness as you can by talking trouble. And the more real friends you have the less trouble you will have. Speak well of everything good you find and mean it. When you find what......

Spent a peaceful and quiet Diwali in Lonavala, catching up with reading, approach notes, the world and myself.
