I like this guy…

With so many people now setting up blogs under the illusion that it is an easy way to get rich and famous – it’s nice to see someone who is learning quickly that it isn’t so easy as the get rich quick scammers make out whilst selling you freely available ‘advice’.

Here’s a post from a guy in India with a suitable touch of humour and cynicism…

1) Throw a shoe whose sole is emblazoned with my blog url at a V V I P. It will earn me the respect of fellow countrymen, besides increasing the number of hits to my blog.

2) Get detained, on purpose, at an airport for questioning and kick up a fuss about it. Oh wait. I am not travelling by air anytime soon. How about getting detained at a bus stop?

3) Hold a swayamvar or swayamnari or whatever it is called when a man is choosing a wife.

4) Write a book praising any of the past or present politicians. It’ll kick up a worlwide debate and within days my book will be the number one bestseller and my blog will have the maximum number of visits.

5) Go and punch a few pub-going girls.

6) Just die while bathing. People will realise that they have lost a great legend and my blog will get popular. My name will be the most searched on google. My possessions (including my glittery, but moth-eaten socks) will be auctioned off for millions. But wait, I am not as famous as Michael Jackson. Yet.

There is so much truth in humour! I can’t see him breaking into the big time any time soon – but good luck to the guy – at least he has realistic expectations, unlike so many…

Here’s the original post if you want to have a look at it.
