It has been said: The eyes are the windows for the soul. We take for granted this complex mechanism of capturing what the eye sees courtesy of light bouncing off the eye-lens and then forming a picture onto the brain. It is done so well that it cannot be measured nor considered intrusive. In othe...

This "word" aha, & its root ah, makes the rounds & is friendly to the hearer & user. It has a few different uses of which we shall explore for the fun of it. It is interesting to note that any word or noise leads us to the meaning behind it thus don't concentrate to mightily on words, but instead...
