Of Quarter-life Crisis and Sikandar Comics

Recently, our resident expert and chief navigator of the Wikipedia, rummaged out a rather depressing entry. This! I have reason to believe that everyone of us folks in their twenties is undergoing the quarter-life crisis.

If you are working in the industry and you are unhappy with your job or at least about some aspects of it, if you have just graduated and you feel a longing for your university, if you have no idea about your future plans, or if you belong to the unfortunate majority who haven't had the pleasure of female company in quite some time, rest assured mon ami, you are going through it! It is out there. It has become a thing. There are conflicts of interest, vicious circles which eventually transform into a downward pointing spiral and problems which do not have a realistic solution.

I'm freaked!

On another note, the Don is back with an update post. These days, he is gay for the Shaitan of Sialkot, which he thinks is me, little realising the greatness of the Shaitan (loser!); and for ASCII strings such as 'haha' and 'pappu' and what not. I doubt I'll see any activity on his blog. Apparently, he has better things to do than write a lame blogpost like this. *wink, wink*

On yet another note, yours truly has come up with the first set of B-grade story books for children. Please note that the rating here, has nothing to do with the rating criteria of masala Hindi movies. The story books will go a long way in redefining B-grade stuff. They are aimed at children with a crooked sense of humour, similar to that of Kyle and Eric Cartman of the Southpark fame. The settings will be exotic, and wierd, of course! Wierd will be the situations and wierd will be the name of our hero- Sikandar Singh Ghodalal. Here are the titles of the first bunch of story books-

Sikandar aur kaale kabootar ka aatank.
Sikandar and the revenge of the three-legged butterfly.
Sikandar aur daku rani.

Fasten your seatbelts balakon aur balikaoon. You're in for the ride of a lifetime.

Khuda Hafiz,
Sultan of Samarkand.
