Vijay Prabhu
Mumbai
I’m basically one of those guys you see inside black limos or over red carpets, who hate blowing their own trumpets and born for a bigger purpose in life other than simply taking part in reproduction. So, I had kept no ‘About Me’ section in my website for long since I designed it with my natural perfection. But with passing time my inbox got flooded with readers’ (read: fans) mails asking who I’m and more importantly why am I doing this selfless job of salvaging the internet-mankind! Today I’m compelled to write few modest lines to decrease the fan-mail load on my mailbox.
Well, my birth in Bombay was the miracle that sent Armstrong and Aldrin to the rugged surface of the moon! Do you know why do I still oblige by posing with an acoustic guitar?... Just because Led Zeppelin was courteous enough to release their first album on the auspicious occasion of my birth. I loved vernacular schools but did my schooling from a convent school… any idea why? Because one can get over sufferings and woes in life only when he can covert his hatred into love! Use your brain to bum to imagine how philosophical minded I was right from my childhood. But I didn’t let it carry me away towards humanity, rather I made myself fall in love with economics and I dragged this affair up to my master degree. Once I thought to step onto my desi soil and appear for IAS exam but after I qualified its prelims I felt pity on my ‘not so able’ fellow aspirants and left the rat-race… Yes, I’m like the coconut when it comes to disparity between inside and outside. An honest blogger can never lie to his readers, so today I’ll share you all… I earned like a crocodile but spent like a shark, soon realising the hollowness of materialistic belongings. I took a job to experience your Aam-aadmi life. Ultimately in 2012, I liberated myself from outside attachments and became a full time blogger, fathering www.comboupdates.com, www.indianfilmbar.blogspot.com, www.androvisions.com guest-editing two other websites- www.tropicalpost.com, www.techworm.com and moderating a fifth website www.askoverflow.com ! Yea I’m the real life ‘one man army’ right? Guys, be very clear that this’ just a glimpse of me and if you really want to know Vijay Prabhu in details, you need to buy the hardcover version of my autobiography which is presently in presently in sales (a bestseller there!) only in Uranus right now.
