Live on the edge - or you take up too much space

Is there any other way to be, except edgy?

Blank!

Can't think of a single thing to write. Nothing of note anyways.

Tomorrow is my last day at work from this present place. I feel elated. I feel free. I feel relieved.

(The travails we put ourselves through just to ensure that the world at large doesn't think we're failures and losers. By Jove, talk about having simian genes - we hang in there so much it's a wonder we're not regressing into monkeydom and swinging from trees).

Wait a minute - I just remembered - I saw TDVC (The Da Vinci Code). Review - Cumbersome!
Tom Hanks - more than bearable. Ian Mckellan - very very good. Bottomline? When you try and recreate a mediocre but racy bestseller into celluloid drama, more often than not it falls flat. So hey guys, not everyone can do a Gone With The Wind. So chill! Let Mary Magdalene just be!
(But if someone told me I was a living descendant of Chandragupta Maurya, what would I do? Awwww!!!! Come now, I'd shrug and say, 'show me the money'. But if someone said I was the descendant of Hitler, I'd immediately assume a dictatorial air!)

So if you had a choice of being a descendant of some key figure from history, who would you choose?

As for me, I'd choose to just hang in there! ...:)

    Rabindranath Tagore!!! But damn he's bong and I'm all iyer..

    Now a side thought.. why do people call that Aiyer?? Like A Year. Then I'd be B Year. Like beer...hahhaaa.

    Fine, I am not that funny. I am Byer!!

    But Bongs and Tam Brams have an affinity for some strange reason.

    If you're from where I am (we all are technically, but I meant the city..LOL)...then remember the RJ Sheetal Aiyar. She'd make it a point to spell it out.

    I'm Iyer boss and no two ways about it....ha ha ha!
