Namaste, mate.
I got used to starting a WEB with hello in a Nordic language so using namaste felt really weird. I rarely say it, except when I’m being patronizing or sarcastic. Or when someone else greets me with namaste (no one, sadly)
I do use folded hands _/\_ to say no quite often. Refusals with folded hands do the trick somehow. Try it. Next time you have to say no to someone insistent, say no with a fixed glare and folded hands. Bonus points if you’re also doing yoga simultaneously.
Also please don’t do yoga. If you wanna be fit and healthy, go for a run, you sissy.
Last week I said I’d put an anecdote in here as a weekly thing. But I think it sounds cheesy so that ain’t happening. Eventful things I like talking about will end up in the WEB, like always.
I went to college on Wednesday for the launch of my college’s annual history magazine. It was a bigger deal than I expected. There were a lot of people there. And many copies of the magazine too. I got published!
I made that cover and edited the magazine’s layout and graphics too. There are a few hundred copies that go out to students, other colleges etc. They said it has a readership of 15-20,000 people. That’s when I realised this was no weeny project. Even if half that many people get their hands on it, hey, that’s noteworthy. So TL;DR I got published.
Cheerio!
Tis, mate, was the Weekly Email Blast, Email 120. Happy Weekend !!!
