I’ve come by a song by Martina McBride: Concrete Angel.
It is so poignant. It shows how child abuse is sometimes ignored, or how it can just get out of hand.
In Mauritius, despite having many laws for the protection of children, some are still mistreated and beaten. Right now, one case comes to mind. The father [...]

No, I am not here to criticise this new branding. It has got its fair share of bashing already.
Thing is I am just fed up with all the critics, the jokes and the way people, including myself, keep using it ironically. I have made it a point to stop. Cause, finally, ain’t we [...]

Spare my lungs. This is my prayer every time I have the misfortune, which is quite often, to have a UBS bus in front of me in traffic, or to have them pass me when I am on the streets.

Yesterday was indeed a black Tuesday! Two major road accidents, one causing four dead people, aging between 18 to 58. If I remember well, this is the second or third road accident involving those sugar trucks. And that’s one too many! God, when are the authorities going to wake up and do something about this?

Today, we have a large number of married women who work. And many of them are mothers too. What I particularly want to talk about here are those ‘new’ mothers. After their maternity leave, which is around two months, they have to worry about finding a good and qualified nursery or someone to look after [...]

Everyone has a right to have an opinion. Everyone has the right to voice out that opinion. But does everyone stop to think about the way and the words they will use when conveying that particular opinion?
The aim in sending a message to the people around you is to make your point clear and to [...]

Keeping healthy eating habits cost money. A lot. More people nowadays are aware of the vast advantages of including more veggies in our food. But really, those green stuffs are expensive!
I went for some green shopping at Ebene Way the other day and was amazed to find out that one lettuce costs Rs10, One pear [...]
