If you're short on kicks, there's always the latest way to break your neck...

And then there were the days when a good old desk used to be a waste paper basket with drawers where you could conveniently lug around slitting wrists at the edge of the piles-a-files. The first glitch is we, as human beings, have made too many wrong mistakes. Like inventing the outlandish gadget, which does little more than redefining a desk to a waste paper basket with circuits, popularly known to mortal souls as a computer. Sooner than you could spell the word 'Integrated Circuits', it became another paraphernalia of the Kooky. The second glitch is that computer technology has begun to move faster than anything else . Which brings us to the amorphous blob of the Internet and the vast scaffold of the World Wide Web. One of my idiosyncrasies is to be o n the dashboard of state-of-art techie lore and like it or not, that can be as intoxicating as a goblet of golden ambrosia. So while my human equivalents out there cavil over Osama and Tsunami, I am cosily ensconced in my chair, blanket and all, lurking in the rigorous techno-wilderness of cyberdom.
