Lies are “Words spoken, written, or unspoken that seek to confuse, deceive, manipulate, hurt, and destroy people.”

Posted: 15-Dec-2023



It’s true! Lies are harmful. Lies are destroying the world. They are more dangerous than we think.

Come to think of it, there’s no such thing as an ‘innocent’ or ‘harmless’ lie. Let’s keep excuses and white lies aside for a while and focus on solid, intentional, black lies alone. Why do we need lies at all? If we examine that question, we’ll realize that the purpose behind every lie is one of (to): confuse, deceive, manipulate, hurt, or destroy the recipient(s).

Lies do so much damage that in today’s world of disinformation/misinformation, entire media wars are fought and won by creating and propagating deliberate lies. AI/deep fakes/hi-tech can convincingly turn innocents into criminals and vice-versa, so how do we find the truth?

If such be the dangerous power of lies, a deep examination of the effects of truth and lies on life becomes worthwhile. Truth points one to God. Truth is light. Truth builds up. Lies point you in just the opposite direction, to the devil, and guaranteed destruction over time! This book examines the nitty-gritty of truth and lies.

All you wanted to know about probiotics, but didn't know whom to ask!

Posted: 22-Nov-2023


Does the word probiotic sound familiar? Scientific? A laboratory created term? Pro stands for 'in favour of' and the bio in biotic stands for 'life,' so a rough guess is it's something beneficial to life. And right you are! Probiotics are formally defined as "...live microorganisms (bacteria) which when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host." So, the next time you buy probiotic curd or yoghurt, you know what you're buying: it's curd fortified with beneficial, live bacteria!

There's much more to know about probiotics. Apart from a variety of foods, probiotics are used to treat diseases like urinary tract infection (UTI), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Probiotic foods can be safely made/sold at home and thus present an income generating cottage-industry opportunity.

This book written by Gregor Reid, a grand old microbiologist will fill you in on all you wanted to know about probiotics but weren't sure whom to ask.

A second-generation Sherlock Holmes pastiche, yet equally impressive

Posted: 09-Jul-2023

After he passed, experimenting with new possibilities, locations, dimensions, situations, etc. that fans would love to see Sherlock Holmes in, A C Doyle’s imitators have churned out an impressive array of Sherlock Holmes pastiches. No fan can ignore them because they extend/complement Doyle’s originals well. This one imaginatively attempts to bring him right into our times (the year 2023, if you wish!) but since he died and was resurrected once before, another “resurrection” might not sell. The author works around that constraint by using a ‘secretary’ and his girlfriend to substitute for Holmes.

He successfully delivers an equally impressive story featuring the fictitious Loch Ness monster, Nessie. Check it out to see if, like me, you like it too!
