A question to a Human being. How Human were you today?

Hi Human Being, How human were you today? Were you able to breathe in and breathe out well? Is that what it means to be human every day? Then I think I was human today.

Should you block or report a user who annoys you

Two days back I told about this anonymous twitter follower of mine who has started his tweet project to send annoying tweets mostly in response to my tweets. I mentioned that on a funny note earlier, but lately it is getting less funny and more irritating.

I am posting this to be fair to a comment I put on Facebook and bring a point that no religion should be above criticism sorry if I am being too blunt here…. I posted this as comment on a friend’s post where he shared Richard Dawkin’s “explanation to peshawar attack” and since it is controversial, I think it will be unfair if I do … Continue reading Why we should talk about religion when we talk about the Peshawar attack
