Social Networking and the Treadmill Dynamic
Okay I agree that I have almost 5000 friends on Facebook, but I can explain that easily. I am not a local champion of some sort, neither a superstar nor some self-accomplished dude with lots of fans checking me out.

These are some of the thoughts of my mind on the purpose and power of the family; it’s been a while now since it’s come to my mind to write something like this, though in the scheme of things I might not be the right man to speak on issues like this, or the qualification in terms of experience is not on my side but by privilege I have rubbed minds with the all wise one on issues like this one to understand his original purpose for establishing the world acclaimed smallest institution –...
