Whats with the names?

Names of the salads at work today :

As the World Turns
Days of Our Lives
Bold and the Beautiful
Guiding Light

I somehow believe that names for food should be indicative of content. It would be even better if names for people were also indicative of content. For example, the name Phoolan Devi conjures up the image of a goddess ambling amidst flowers (Phool = flowers, Devi = goddess), when in fact she was a dacoit with a rather nasty record of armed robbery.

A picture speaks a thousand words...

..but a few words can also paint quite a picture.

"After the cessation of rain, which had begun in the morning, all the foliage, the sky and the breeze were like eylashes still wet after weeping. "

from Boshtami, Rabindranath Tagore

Announcement

Summer is half over. Don't panic but do something about it. You know life is flashing by you when you have vague recollections of what you did in previous summers, but have no clue which year it was.
