Blonde: Why is the water so much saltier on this coast? They really need to stop putting all their extra salt in the water.
Dude: Extra salt?
Blonde: Yeah, isn't that what the government does -- just dumps the barrels of extra salt into the water?

Hello.
I tried e-mailing you but the mail's bouncing. Well I'm sorry I'm hogging the comment space for things other than commenting on your blog, but I write to make an unusual request.
I'm a Ph.D. student at Glasgow University trying to find out how people across cultures (U.K. and India) approach life-work, love, leisure, what is important to them and the different things that means 'happiness' to them.
So I'm, here to interview British/Scottish men and women between the ages of 25 and 35 doing different things in life. I understand that Aaron is a drama teacher and I'd love to interview you.
The interview would be a couple of hours long-we can break it up into a couple of sessions. There are also some written exercises.
But why would you want to do this? Well for one, you will be part of an important study that eventually aims to find application in making people happy :) Two, you get to talk about yourself for two whole hours while somebody is really paying attention! Three, when you come visiting India, you can stay in my home in Mumbai and you will be taken around (if you want). And four, I'll buy you coffee and snacks over the session (s)
I need about 10-12 people and each is therefore very crucial for the study. We could arrange a place that is convenient to YOU and I'll produce my university id and passport if you want to see it (!!).
So, if you find this interesting, please mail me at mamthakarollil[at]gmail[.]com. Trust me, most people find this a gratifying experience..
Please write in.
Eagerly,
Mamtha.
