Hi, my name is Keshav Khera, and this is my blog. I'm fifteen years old and I live in Amritsar, India. I like photography, table tennis and music. I also write for a site called Techie Buzz. I like trance, electronic, classical and pop music. I love chocolates...And I love thrillers. I hate pessimists and timidity. I want to become an entrepreneur. You can email me, gtalk me, or simply ask me anything. Thanks for reading. ![]() |
was just curious. I’ll be turning 16 in april and i’m only 5’5”. my dad’s just one inch longer and no one is taller than that in my family. I wonder if I should be putting in extra effort already. lol
1 - Blushing: Charles Darwin struggled to explain why evolution made us turn red when we lie, which alerts others. However, some think it may help diffuse confrontation or foster intimacy by revealing weakness.
2 - Laughter: mood-improving endorphins are released when we laugh, which seems an obvious reason to do it but a 10-year study muddied the waters when it found more laughter is produced by banal comments than jokes.
3 - Kissing: the explanation for kissing is unlikely to be genetic as not all human societies do it. There are theories that it is associated with memories of breastfeeding and that ancient humans weaned their children by feeding them from their mouths, which reinforced the link between sharing saliva and pleasure.
4 - Dreaming: Sigmund Freud’s theory of dreams expressing our subconscious desires have been generally discredited and it is recognised that they help us process emotions, but the reason why we see such strange visions has not been properly explained.
5 - Superstition: unusual but reassuring habits make no evolutionary sense; however, ancient humans would have benefited from not dismissing a lion’s rustle in the grass as a gust of wind. Religion seems to tap into this impulse.
6 - Picking your nose: the unappealing but common habit of ingesting ‘nasal detritus’ offers almost no nutritional benefit, so why do a quarter of teenagers do it, on average four times a day? Some think it boosts the immune system.
7 - Adolescence: no other animal undergoes the stroppy, unpredictable teenage years. Some suggest it helps our large brain reorganise itself before adulthood or that it allows experimentation in behaviour before the responsibility of later years.
8 - Altruism: giving things away with no certain return is odd behaviour in evolutionary terms. It may help with group bonding or simply give pleasure.
9 - Art: painting, dance, sculpture and music could all be the human equivalent of a peacock’s tail in showing what a good potential mate someone is. However, it could also be a tool for spreading knowledge or sharing experience.
10 - Body hair: fine hair on the body and thick hair on the genitals is the opposite of what occurs in primates, our close animal relatives. Suggested reasons for pubic hair include a role in radiating scent, providing warmth or even protecting from chafing.

Shah Rukh Khan expressed his disapproval of the way Pakistani cricket players were disregarded when the auctions for the upcoming Indian Premier League tournament were being held. He said, “We are known to be good, we are known to invite everyone, and we should have.”
Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of Shiv Sena—a borderline terrorist organisation in Mumbai that is comprised of overzealous Marathi Hindus who have an appallingly mistaken idea of what it means to be true to your religion and your country—declared that this was an anti-national statement and that the Bollywood superstar would have to apologise.
When Shah Rukh Khan refused, and rightly so, they threatened to disallow screenings of his latest film My Name is Khan—which, ironically enough, is about racial profiling of Muslims in USA—in Maharashtra. They have since staged violent protests in cinema halls in Mumbai, tearing apart the screens in some multiplexes and scaring off moviegoers.
The Mumbai administration has taken strict action and arrested over 1,600 of them so far, assuring cinema halls that adequate security will be provided and that they should go ahead with the release schedule of the movie fearlessly. Kudos to the Mumbai Police for stepping up to the plate.
Shiv Sena and Shiv Sainiks are a bunch of bloody racist retards and they ought to be thrown out of the country. They call themselves Indians and Marathis? They’re nothing but horrible caricatures of all that is wrong with this country. They’re worse than the filth that flows through the sewers of India. To hell with them and their anti-Muslim propaganda! Cheers to Shah Rukh Khan for not bowing down to the bullying tactics of the Shiv Sena.
