My research on the Web takes me to strange places, stranger people and across new horizons. It’s like a roller coaster of sorts at my desk–and without having to wear the straps. And every once in a while, I stumble upon blogs that virtually talk about everything under the sun.

Well, almost. Last night was one was of those nights where I chanced upon a blog called “Do You Know?” at blogopediaworld.blogspot.com. It is authored by Malathi Badri, a Math lecturer in Chennai, India, who’s also a prolific blogger, running as many as eight blogs ranging from blog promotions and the laws of the universe to plastic surgery and “art to zen, from zero to infinity.”

The site is aptly named “Do You Know?” I discovered that I didn’t quite know. And didn’t know I didn’t know–Malathi provides interesting perspectives and insights in several of life’s lesser known areas. For one, she talks about Neil and his attitude to life and inner strength, and almost, if not quite, in the same breath goes on to discuss botox and ingots, Lake Tahoe and nanotechnology.

It sure felt refreshing to come out of the ‘plastic world’ of celebrities and read about ‘real life’ for a change!
