Work Is Synonymous With Punishment
At ‘catch-up’ dinners with friends when the subject of work life emerges, all we hear about is the dread of having to get up the next day for work, the stress, the work load and clashes with the boss or a co-worker. At the end of a good weekend, we return back home like kids waking back to the classroom after a lunch break – shoulders rolled down, frowns on foreheads carrying the work stress to be followed the next day and the overall dread of having to wake up for yet another day at work.
Are We Ageing Early Or Is It Just Laziness?
This is not the kind of ageing that is denoted by grey strands, wrinkled skin and weakened bones.

When Women Generalize All Men as Rapists
