Collector of random facts, a professional daydreamer, and an overthinker! I run on caffeine and curiosity. When I am not busy saving the world (in my dreams), you will find me asking why, how, where, when - love finding answers about everything everyone around and far!

She is not swayed by groupthink or social conformity and is often guided by her personal values!How many “normals” behave l...
“One fine day, a mother decides that her two boys are glued to the TV way too much.And so, she just turns it off right in the middle of their show and lays down the rule: only three shows a week from now on! Instead, they have to go to the library and check out books, and they will read at least two books every week (the 2 books will not be the school books). At the end of each week, they will giv...
