SAN FRANCISCO:San Francisco's Center for Sex and Culture played host on Saturday to the city's annual "Masturbate-a-thon,". The event was organized to help raise funds for the center, and, according to its organizer, provide an outlet for safe sex for those who enjoy pleasuring themselves in a semi-public setting.
The Saturday night event also had a competitive side.
Whether The Pun in the title for this post is intended or not, that's not for me to decide. For more into this interesting and weird snippet, check out:

365 Days on a holiday!
What else can Be the USP for Goa?
It's been a week since i've been back from my holiday and I think i'm finally getting out of the depression of getting back to work. I know this had to happen especially after such a wonderful vacation. Besides, we managed the trip after two failed attempts during the past two years.
The journey itself was very cool and relaxed.Train journeys have always had a special place in my heart. Looking out of the window as the train goes along a turn is simply an experience in it's own. And although the beautiful Konkan hills and rivers weren't in their full glory in the scorching May heat, they still sooth you...very calm! And the place we stayed at on Colva beach was a steal at around 600 bucks a day...what with it's swimming pool and all....reminded me of the shekhar Kapoor movie, Mr. India...." Room ke aage balcony, balcony ke saamne garden, garden ke samne Swimming pool...". And the 'Samundar' (sea) wasn't far either..just a couple of paces down the road. The Para-Sailing experience frankly wasn't all that exhilarating...maybe I Expect too much out of things these days..but it was the 'cool' thing to do nonetheless...maybe! However, the two fabulous dinners we had on the beach totally made up for it.
The second day trip to Palolem beach was the high point of the trip. The place was simply beautiful. And the absence of maddening beach crowds was certainly a bonus. The journey to and fro from Madgao though was a pain though...in a mini bus packed with people..locals and tourists alike.
The other two days spent at calangute, anjuna and vagator were mixed experiences. 'Chowpatty like' Calangute was a disappointment, clubbing at Baaga strictly ok, while anjuna and vagator met up to expectations.
I know this post reads like an essay I wrote back in school describing how I spent my holidays. Maybe that's how I feel about it. Taking a break and going on Holidays with friends has certainly become a luxury...especially with time constraints and the gang being busy with work away from India.
Feeling totally recharged right now and can't wait to chalk up plans for the next trip;) (i think a short monsoon hike or atleast a day trip to Lonavla is surely on the cards)
