So you are back...
Been long..

I think, you can write a blog on the impact of society on evolution... ':D
If you are not busy that is...

I think, the survival of fittest has been changed by the formation of human society, and this is a tool of the primates, who are physically not so strong to fight against the predators. And look, how the laws have been twisted by human by the invention of IVF and such things.
If you can...

Sure I can try..I remember being part of a Tuesday 'katta' (that means informal talk session in marathi) with the talk being led by one of the best scientists I have ever come across - Dr. M. G. Watve on the same topic - how man has been trying to overcome evolution. I'd try to recall the salint features...especially Sir's comments.


@Chirag
And m I glad I followed ur advice soon as I could - watched Satyakam nd loved it. BTW u asked me to pursue LLb once before too. Am doing my doctorate in ecology at the moment so that suggestion comes a little late in the day. Thnx though :) As a matter of fact, just for kicks, I had appeared for the NLSIU entrances after my 12th and had missed the interview call by 2 marks...lol..

2. Great one.(is lust elegy, perhaps)
3. Very true.
4. wonderful! -->writers have readers, not listeners(it took a while to get this catch!)
5.mostly true. rarely though but best studesnt also take up teaching.
6.true
7.most women would love rich chefs only!
8. blackholes are like beggers too. they take only what is given,dont prey around for more.
9. Of the two theories, the one that talking of *too many* litters causing evolutionary changes, is only defied.
10.simple one. isnt it??

@Deepti

I wouldn't dare say that you write well because then it'll imply that you bore us. :)

Let me say You write 'very'well.

The chosen quotes are excellent and I liked the Chef quote best.Yes, we do cook for love.

You know who the inspiration behind tht 'good writers boring their listeners' quote was? None other than Navjot Singh Siddhu. The words he uses in his speech look so good in print but when he speaks them right out, one is either irked, bored or tired!
