Am I late with resolutions?
With today, it is exactly 17 days since I had nice home cooked meal. Making coffee is all what I do behind the stove. Considering the fact I enjoy cooking so much.. I shall honor myself to the pat I so deserve.
About time I gave back and made a change. So from now I am not only going to be cooking and eating regular but also cook something new and different every week. It is an earnest promise. And please do ask me on Mondays how did I fare with my bargain.

Currently I have imparted my reading to some deliberate neglect. So that makes an allowance for not rating so highly in books section too.
Whatever ..I picked up The Selfish Gene yesterday for the second time. Just to reread a couple of things.
What is all so wrong being selfish? As a close parallel to genes, we are selfish too. Each one of us is selfish, which I guess is the good part. Perhaps that is the prime truth. I find it hard to believe in selflessness if something in those terms exists. But with selfishness people are rarely (hardly ever) considerate towards others, which I guess is the bad part. Is it?
God save Olga. She must hv had good time for last 17 days
a) Home cooked meal… 17 days is a long time – really. Too bad. But you have the resolution now, Good.
b) Was it a wrong thing to force you to read that book? One thing you’ve (we all have) to understand is, the blue-print of a building could be blue. But the building doesn’t have to be blue.
Genes, the building blocks are selfish. That doesn’t mean we shall not use out logic and compassion and etc. to be not-so-bad-selfish. You know what I mean.. don’t you?

I guess you got me wrong. What I was trying to reason was not-so-bad-selfish. What defines not-so-bad-selfish?
And the parallel I drew with genes was simply to highlight my point that selfishness may actually be not a very bad thing. It is a mere round about way of the theory “survival of the fittest + smartest”.
