Reading an excellent book about evolution called ‘Your Inner Fish‘ provided me with a much deeper appreciation of the evolution of life, at least up to the point where it crawls out of the water and starts living on land. However, what is sorely missing in the book is a presentation of how much we...

Sachin Tendulkar, with all the power of the bat and the pressure of 1.2bn Indians, finally got his 100th hundred. A relief for all no doubt. But surely the relief should have been for Sachin and not everyone else? The ‘Little Master’ knocked the record-breaking ton in the Asia Cup against Bangladesh, a game India...

After attempting to order my groceries online via Tesco Direct, and failing as the most cost efficient earliest delivery was Tuesday evening, I thought ‘Let’s just be human’ and use God’s bestowed gifts and man-made pathways to take me to the Palace of Foodery. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining brightly...

I’ve been asked many times to write something about the hijab but the topic is so wide and almost controversial that I never really had enough motivation to do it. Well. I’m going to talk about it today. Mostly because it’s about something that’s kind of annoyed me directly and I feel the need to vent,...

The question of identity for British Asians is something that pops up quite regularly. How do we define ourselves when we’ve been brought up with dual heritage? For the majority of us our families migrated to Britain from the Indian sub continent back in the day when wearing flares and bathing once a week in the...

This is my first post. I’m blankly looking at the screen. I’m unquestionably nervous; slightly confused and completely and utterly overwhelmed at the unlimited number of possibilities that I have before me. I can choose to blog about whatever is on my mind right now, whatever thought that’s running through my head (if I...

Who are the English Defence League (EDL)? Let me rephrase that. What are the EDL? They can’t possibly be human beings. My guess is that they are a bunch of robots, disguised as humans, created to oppose everyone who dares to mention the letters ‘M’ ‘U’ ‘S’ ‘L’ ‘I’ and ‘M’ as one word. I’m...

I admit I used to be a Chris Brown fan. I loved the song “Forever”; I would sing and dance when the song came on the radio while I was driving. I recall being excited that The Office used Forever in Jim and Pam’s wedding. And then the news broke that Chris Brown had...

I just realised the other day that I haven’t had my photo taken in over a year now. Not since 2010. Makes me feel better. Especially when I occasionally log on to Facebook and see everyone – girls in particular – squirm when facing the camera. So why do people have that deer-caught-in-the-headlights expression...

UniLad (temporarily closed down but due a relaunch at the end of the month) is an online magazine aimed at Uni lads. It turns the neanderthal thinking of lads into a handy site for young men attending universities. I’d say it’s a mix between Nuts type of magazine and the contents of my God Daughter’s...
