How to write a biography

On second thought, how to write almost anything.

I am not on BBC

This is going to sound strange to most people. So I must first explain that I have been receiving emails intended for her.

Careful/interested readers of this blog may now skip to the next post :) This note is intended for the people googlewhacking the BBC presenter's name, finding this blog and writing to me.

I realize that if you're a huge fan, even the remote possibility that I may be your idol is a stone that must not be left unturned. Therefore, let me first assure you that I am not the person on BBC you've been drooling over. You're welcome to read my blog and comment, but messages sent to me will not miraculously find their way to the woman of your dreams.

For the more paranoid/suspicious among you, a simple assurance will not be enough. You may want to explore this blog a bit to satisfy yourselves that I am a real person with a life of my own. Knock yourself out. It will turn out that I'm right and you're wrong. My dog bears witness.

If you're still unsatisfied, let me just say:
(1) It's highly improbable that your Nisha Pillai manages to do her BBC gig from San Francisco.
(2) There are over a billion Indians (not counting the ones living abroad). There's a remote possibility that more than two Indian women share the same name, *and* show up when you googlewhack the name.
(3) I'm willing to bet good money that she of BBC fame does not need to worry about dog drool on her keyboard.

Everyone must watch this video. Now. Yesterday. I promise, this is fascinating. Plus, he's funny.

I mean, who else describes Out of Africa as "Robert Redford falls in love...and the sun sets...and it is *yust* beautiful".

Really. Watch it now.
