Be Selfish, Save Everyone

I agree with the statement but I don’t think it’s demeaning at all. If there was no ‘i’, there would be no ‘A-hole’. A lot of crap would be coming through the wrong orifice, which is a very common occurrence in today's self-righteous world. It’s a tough job for that ‘i’ person who sticks out and does all the dirty job for others.

Why do anything?

In life you reach a point where you stop feeling... yes feeling anything. No pain, no fear, no anger, no joy, no disgust, no trust or mistrust, no anticipation, no surprise, no sadness, no thirst, no hunger, no depression, no hate, no love, no nothing. But you have to go through all of them and much more, literally to abysmally lows and higher than highest highs to get there. And then you suddenly realise that nothing matters. You and everything else around you is simply insignificant.

Are you stretching ITB (Ilio-Tibial Band)?

Are you still stretching your ITB (Ilio-Tibial Band) till the cows and the rest come home? Just to burst your bubble, they don't really stretch much. 

A tweet today morning reminded me that there is a good reason that I have not been telling folks to stretch their ITB (Ilio-Tibial Band).

I Love Mondays: Embrace the Next Generation of Careers

I Love Mondays, a book by Mala Mary Martina focusing on encouraging the youth to take up New age Careers such as Music, Art, Design, Sports etc. 

I was told that folks like Dr A. R Rahman, Benny Dayal, Kiran Dembla, Chaitanya Rao, Amish Tripathi, Niranjan Iyengar, Santosh Sivan, Sabu Cyril, Nandita Das et al would be fortunate enough to be featured along with me in the book. I was like, good for them, even though I don't like sharing the podium with anyone. 

I had forgotten all about it except for Mala having been kind enough to send me the above caricature of mine. Courtesy my phenomenal memory, I had actually forgotten who had made it and where it came from. Yesterday I got a message that the book is finally out.
