Pieces of the Puzzle

For starters, I'm damn confused. You will know why. Permission was granted to share this email with you all. In Jivha's very own words regarding the cartoon I made of him yesterday (for people who didn't get the context) and in reply to a mail-

Alphaaaa!!!

Aw cmon...did you really think that a person who criticizes others so much would have such thin skin that he couldn't take some ribbing himself? Gimme a little more credit than that.

No I do not look like that.

i. My hair isn't in the Sai-baba style as your depicted. Its much shorter, what most people would term "normal".
ii. I don't wear a crown or a sash while posting. Probably because I don't have either?
iii. I use my laptop for posting, not a desktop
iv. I use the trackpoint for moving that cursor around and not a mouse
v. I don't have a blogging trophy. Atleast not yet.
vi. I don't have a regular telephone line at home. Just a mobile and a DSLline.
vii. Unfortunately(for the woman in the second frame), my tongue isn't 1/10th as long as you've depicted.
viii. A natural corollary of the last point is my inability to type with my tongue.
ix. Like most humans, I cannot use my tongue for other purposes while talking. So that reinforces the last point again.
x. Can't think of a tenth reason ;-)

I must say the cartoon is pretty good for an amateur(really). In fact I'm lanning to make it the main image(instead of the present one from Getty mages) on my redesigned home page(of course with credits and a link). I hope you're okay with that?

Finally, my face in the first frame looks like that baboon character from the Cartoon Network show "I am Weasel". Was that intentional?

And isn't co-option the greatest trick that India has used to assimilate and digest external influences/attackers? Is it surprising then that I'm congratulating you on a job well done ;-)


Jivha.


Phew, at least I got the nose right. Now I dont know if I should be relieved that he was such a good sport or disheartened that I lost the best victim.
