This one kills me no matter how many times I read it!

I don’t think that Manmohan Singh’s dream of turning Mumbai into another Shanghai will ever come true. How is going to convince 15 million Chinese to move to Mumbai?
I am an ordinary man. I have ordinary feelings. I have felt rage, envy, hatred – I can see why people become thieves and murderers. The one thing I have never been able to understand is the psychology of rape. Until now.
Now I’ve really done it. I have started Facebooking like crazy. First this blog (the simple passions), then Facebook (the complex passions). What’s next? A page on MySpace.com (the criminal passions) and then trying to get 38,000 people to be my “friends” (the murderous passions)?
I have no shame. No self control. Marquis de Sade would be proud.
In 1897, a reporter was sent to investigate whether Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) had died. This was due to a mix up – in fact his was cousin who was seriously ill.
Twain wrote an article about the incident which included the famous quote – “The report of my death is an exaggeration”.
If I had been there, I would have immediately written to Twain:
Yes. I have done it – I have started a blog. I still intend to make good on my promise of putting up the content mentioned on my previous homepage, but obviously intend to do more through this blog. So – stay tuned!
