“I want to be name dropped.” One of the smartest answers ever to “What do you want to do in life?”. Benjamin Alun-Jones. Oh, I think I just name dropped him!

When I met Farzin, I was shocked and surprised – kind, open, trusting, simple and calm – qualities that I thought people grow out of with time. Then, I met Jaosh. So there were two of them. Then I came to London : there are hundreds here! It’s such a wonderful solvent to be in – helps in being true to your own personality – to be celebrated for how weird and crazy you are – no judgments! It makes me feel whole, independent and proud of what I am, am not, and can be. Maybe worthiness is measured by this ability? That’s the hope.

Hardware stores are the answer to everything.

What you are is an absolute, independent entity; something that must not and should not, be dictated by other sides of your life. Even if Anna Kournikova hasn’t won a single major tournament, she is hot. And there is nothing wrong with that. Who said one needs to be successful to be good looking? Or smart to be witty? Even if your crit didn’t go well, you are still the same funny guy you were before the crit. If you didn’t win the match today, it doesn’t mean you’ve got to stop being well dressed. One part of your personality does not have to earn the other – they can coexist independently and in peace. Nick, my man – thanks.
