What is common sense? How can you define common sense? For some, common sense would be not taking risks, whereas for some it would be taking the same risk. Who decides what is common sense? If India would not have won the World Cup, then we would have been happy with a 1-0 win over the West Indies. But now the expectations are high? Are we demanding too much? Think about it. Time now to read the Tangy Tuesday Picks from the Indian Blogosphere.
- Who : Melvin Durai
What : The challenge of being a stay-at-home dad
Tangy : Melvin is a stay-at-home dad and he rightly says that it’s going to take another century, perhaps, for society to completely embrace the idea of a father staying at home, in India. He discusses the difficulties of being a stay-at-home dad, his experiences and dealing with the society’s expectations. A recommended read. - Who : The Restless Quill
What : My mother loves jasmine flowers

What : Some Flight-Time Stories
Tangy : Brijesh re-collects an incident where fellow Indians tested the patience of a cabin crew while boarding a flight.

Have a read for more learnings. - Who : Shruti Parija
What : A blank post!
Tangy : Water is something with which Mumbai is closely associated. Whether it is shortage of water, or abundance of water near Marine Drive…we are closely connected to it.

Tangy : Female infanticide, dowry, killing girl child…these things are very rampant in India and among the social evils. Mitu Khurana is victim of one such social evil. But she has stood up to save her unborn twin girls. Barkha is writing her views on this situation and supports Mitu through this post. - Who : Scorpio Genius
