There is a poem I once read that says everything I would want to say today… Who’s Hands is it in? A basketball in my hands is worth about $19. A basketball in Michael Jordan’s hands is worth about $33 million. It depends who’s hands it’s in. A cricket bat in my hands is worth [...]
The other day as I was painting, I got paint on my hands. When I went to wash it off, soap and water didn’t quite work. So, I used a bit of turpentine and voila! It did the trick. This got me thinking, when it comes to cleaning our hands, we have a lot of [...]
