A complex ramble about simplicity

Life is best lived in simple, repetetive and unoriginal form, a bit like the Issue Procedure section of public offer documents. If each section of the prospectus were a person, Issue Procedure would be the voice of reason, stable, calm, respectful and respected- seldom flamboyant like Business section or needlessly self-deprecatory like wives of friends when they meet or ofcourse like the Risks section or a bit pointless like the wrap. It is the Confucius when Business section gets to be Govinda and Risks, Meena Kumari and MD&A just a prank by a CA ranker who has realized he need not tally a balance sheet ever again as he will be busy selling Frooti after the MBA. It is odd to imagine pranks and CAs in the same sentence but who knows. When George Michael came out, when it was suddenly revelaed that it was all a lie about the perfect Russian childhood sledding as told in Mishamagazine (they were waiting in lines for bread), if the Berlin Wall can crumble and now it is like there was no Cold War ever-anythig can happen. But can Raveen and Karisma ever be friends? Or Slapping Girl-Associate a good girlfriend than wife? Can targets given to partners ever be met unless the managing partner or their chief cubs delegate the fattest mandates to us other partners? Hence it is best to be simple. Simple food, simple joys (chai or for the more ambitious, a jalebi-samsoa breakfast like my hometown), simple people. The only bit layered can be a hairstyle but again one, not in an obvious way and two in a contemporary way so for example no razor-cut as that is so 1993.
