Dear New Parent, The time will come, and oh it will surely come, when your kid starts asking you "why"...instinctively and perpetually. Your first experience could go like this: Kid: Daddy can I go to the playground? The Infinite "Why" Dad: No. Kid: Why? Dad (don't bother me kid): Because. Kid: Why? Dad: Because I said so Kid: Why? Dad (hmm...it might just be easier to reason with him): Because it's too late. Kid: Why? Dad: Because it's dark outside Kid: Why? Dad (hey this is kinda fun): Because the sun's gone down Kid: Why? Dad: So that we can go rest and get some sleep Kid: Why? Dad : Because if we don't get some sleep we'll be very tired in the morning Kid: Why? Dad: Because we're not machines, and even machines need their rest Kid: Why? Dad (okay this is no longer fun): Because sleep and rest is good Kid: Why? Dad: Why is sleep good? Are you even serious?

Some didn’t even remember who they were anymore… ...but it still was a party. More concession stands showed up. Generally, more people showed up to sell all sorts to the party goers. The organizers of the party charged them a token to set up their stalls, which were, by and large, ignored by the party goers…. ...I mean, serio...

#BringBackOurGirls These days when racism rears its ugly head, you will see people rise up and clamour against it. Chances are, you'll see that the people complaining are are not defined by their race or gender but by their being non-racist (relatively speaking of course).  So when gender discrimination rears its ugly malformed head, those clamoring should not be defined by their gender or race but by their being non-sexist (or non-ignorant-douchebags). Women should not form the majority of those campaigning against gender inequality. We men need to step up. I need to step up.  But get this, this #BringBackOurGirls issue goes beyond gender discrimination right into general disregard for basic human rights. If some other deranged faction started kidnapping boys for whatever deranged reason, should majority of the protesters be male? If we equally campaign against removal of a fuel subsidy, or the change of the name of a university, we should equally campaign against...
