Aaj pehli taareekh hai!

So, ladies and gentlemen, great minds and bright sparks, men and women who were going to change the world – yes, you – how long do you think you can come to work and sit still? No, of course, taking rounds of the lobby, the occasional chatter with the lovely floor officer, two trips an hour to the pantry and a long walk after lunch are allowed. I mean intellectually still. Worse, simply mentally still, save for those games of the mind to which I have dedicated a post already. So, yeah, how long? A week? Two weeks? I take it that by the 28th of the month, you too will raise both arms and say this is it. Only if there was one more week between the 28th and the last day of the month, you and I would have really changed the world. Sad, what money does to the best in us.
