Natural child birth is painful for the husband tooThis post is dedicated to all fathers, whose contribution to child birth has gone unnoticed and unrewarded.
If you have been reading Ouchmytoe for a while now, you probably remember than on 29th March 2007 our daughter Rhea was born in a hospital in Kannur, Kerala. If you remember reading this post on Rhea’s birth you would remember that she decided to NOT take the door and come out of the window instead (meaning it was a C-section or Caesarian, as they call it).
Well, this blog post isn’t about Caesarian ... How to increase subscribers to your Blog’s RSS FeedBefore going through the steps to increase subscribers to your Blog’s RSS Feed, let us first figure out why one needs to spend time increasing the subscriber base. Here are my reasons:
Personal happiness on seeing a bigger number of RSS feed subscribers
Improved standing amongst fellow bloggers…and with solid proof because it is numbers you can’t fudge
RSS feed users are the ‘Influencers on Internet’ - and the more influencers eating out of your hand, the better
RSS Feeds can be monetized – the more the subscriber base the better the ... How babies come into this World…Rhea is now 20 months old and it has been a long journey. If I were to draw a parallel, it has been like crossing the Niagara Falls on a tight walk rope. That’s why in the last 20 months, while playing with Rhea I have always sat down on the floor.
I still remember that fateful day when my wife asked me to come home early. Like the good husband, I didn’t stop by at my friend’s place for a beer and reached home in time.
“We have been married ... How to get 1000 Diggs & get your article on Digg homeDefining Digg Effect:
‘Digg Effect’ is defined as a term or a situation where a smaller site gets linked from Digg.com’s home page and suddenly starts getting so many visitors that it slows down or even temporarily closes due traffic restrictions.”

A blog is a no-go if it isn’t optimized for search engines. Especially, if your earnings are dependent on your blog. This easy to ... How to become a professional blogger & earn moneyYou don’t become a professional blogger & earn money just like that. One has to make the effort…and this is the first in a series of posts that I will be writing on how one can become a professional blogger.
How do you become a professional blogger? The answer is as complex as the question.
We all start off as Hobby Bloggers, who blog for a hobby. And as luck would have it…when one is a hobby blogger, one blogs about dogs, bosses, family and everything else in between that nobody ... Your Zodiac sign & dietingIf you didn’t know what a Zodiac is…well, it is a division of the year into 12 parts…each with a different movement of the sun, moon and the other planets. Since the movement of these celestial bodies is different during different Zodiac divisions…people born during these phase have different characteristics.
Yes, it is true…the celestial bodies decide how you behave.
No, it is NOT true that this blog post is about Zodiac signs & astrology. Instead, this is my attempt to map your Zodiac sign to the right dieting technique ... Making Love vs Having SexI remember one of the fairer sexes recently commenting on this blog, that blog posts on ‘sex’ are increasing with my age. Let me point her to a category called SEX on Ouchmytoe (man…that sounded like sex on toast!), where the most recent post is ‘Jammy’s Sex life exposed!,’ written as early as 18th Feb, 2007 and the one before that was ‘One month overdue!’ written on 19th Sept, 2006.
Anyway, this blog post is not about sex…it is about making love. Ask any girl and she will ... Chance pe DanceI have been dancing since I was just 3 years old. I started off dancing to the tune of my mother, and by 10 when I got beyond her control…I my father took over and gave me the tune to dance to. Around 15, I was dancing to the tune of my physical education teacher at school…and by 20 was dancing to Kavita’s tune – yes, she was my first girl friend. Just that she didn’t know.
When 26, I started dancing to Rekha’s tunes, and one day when I ... On why I had to leave Silicon ValleyIf you aren’t a smart person, you probably think Silicon Valley is Pamela Anderson’s cleavage. No! Just because Pamela Anderson has gone for silicon implants…one can’t take it literally.
Silicon Valley is the southern part of San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California, USA and a region where high-tech companies (and mostly internet-based) come up every day. Way back in 2000 A.D., when I was all of 25 years old I used to have a small company in the Silicon Valley.
This story is about how I lost that company to ... Being a born-again bachelor is fun & funnyThere is nothing like sipping white wine in the afternoon, content in the thought that the previous day’s pizza which is now in the refrigerator….is next in line. Any other day I would have preferred red wine. But why drink what you like when everything else in your life is going the other way?
Nah…I am just kidding. It isn’t that bad yet.
My wife has left me for a 45 day vacation. My girl friend will soon be leaving me for another guy. As for my daughter, she has forgotten that ... Complimenting & complicating your lifeWhen a man makes a woman his wife….it is the highest compliment he can pay her. In 95% of the cases it is the last compliment. In the other 5% of cases, the last compliment is when the bags are being packed at the honeymoon location.
In most of these cases, this last ‘honeymoon’ compliment is an indicator of the things to come. Here are some examples:
“You look good in a Saree!”
Meaning, the jeans that you are wearing now is bursting at its seams.
“You have worked hard this honeymoon, why ... Another humor writer launches a bookTell me….what comes to your mind when you say MBA? Masters of Business Administration? Monsters of Blah & Ass-licking? Mediocre But Arrogant? Or Married But Available?
If you haven’t yet got the hint, well……this post is about Abhijit Bhaduri. Like it happens with all famous men…if you don’t know Abhijit Bhaduri…let me explain….he is a leading HR Professional from India, who doubles up as a humor writer. The man in question once wrote a book titled Mediocre But Arrogant….which didn’t live up to its title…it wasn’t mediocre at all. After failing ... Lateral Thinking – 5Here goes a lateral thinking puzzle which will force you to think laterally:
As all women, the one in question also came home after a long day’s work at office. Since it was evening…and dark out side…she switched on the light in her living room.
She was horrified…completely horrified…to see the remains of her husband on the newly bought carpet. He had committed suicide.
Ignoring what had happened; the woman had a cup of tea and went about her housework. She didn’t phone for medical assistance or police help. Why not?
He/she ... Why is it ‘Before Christ’?Pity! The historians didn’t go by his first name. If only the historians had gone by Jesus Christ’s first name…it would have been B.J. and not B.C..
If you aren’t literate enough, let me explain. B.C. stands for ‘Before Christ’ (and A.D. stands for ‘After Death’)…and if only instead of ‘Christ’, the historians had taken his first name ‘Jesus’ and made it B.J. ….I could have easily fooled Rhea (my daughter) that by B.J. the historians meant ‘Before Jammy.’
*I am sure the Satan in you is thinking that B.J. stands ...
