A most asked question, in one form or the other, especially nowadays. I have answered this question already twice today, and my day is only starting!. I have found it not so difficult to answer though. And for once, I could not be accused of inconsistency at least. I always give the same answer.
I always say “This is my last year”

It better be, Mani, it better be, now that you have written it down as of July 12th 2011
I never thought the possibility that writing it down could tie me to the target!!! But I guess I can re-post this blog on July 12th 2012 if need be
Hello Mani.. ungalaya daily FCC paarthu paarthu bore adikuthu.. seekaram kelambunga.. vera aalu varattum..
LS, see the newly added comic at the bottom. Imagine yourself as the person who is asking the question
A friend of mine had a comment which goes like this:
Never ask a woman her age and a phd student the stage.
My guess is in both instance you will get an exaggerated or over optimistic response.
