#38 Be Confident
Jun 12th, 2008 by doing better
We are in awe of a young Indian man of our acquaintance by the name of Kamlesh. We admire the supreme self-confidence that permits him to wear blue velvet jackets, silk cravats, and curl-toed Indian slippers on a daily basis. His prim, dandyish appearance suits him perfectly and does not seem affected in the slightest. He has a job lined up at the top law firm in London, but in the meantime he amuses himself by dominating the student drama scene. He tends to act the love interest in comedies. He is not actually very funny as an actor because he takes himself so seriously and does not appear to have a sense of humor in real life, but we find him funny for other reasons. Prior to his interest in the theatre, he attempted to dominate the student political scene; however, after winning the election while cultivating what can only be described as a Hitler mustache, he was disqualified for blatant electoral fraud and arrogance. He does not take any trouble over other people. He uses us when we are useful and ignores us when we are not, but his manners are so impeccable that we do not notice he has left us behind until he is but a speck in the distance, racing into his glorious future. If only we could all be like Kamlesh! We would not have to spend any more money on play tickets because the mirror would be such a brilliant spectacle.
