Dance to the music in eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

Until I came to this Ubuntuised country. Now I respect the philosophy that everyone has a right to be an asshole.I am the wise one( ass hole to somebody else) because there is an asshole like this.Respect everyone, however BORATic he might be.He is the one is responsible for who you are.

I clicked this while we were in Melghat, some 6-7 years ago.Came across this snap( have I posted this already before?) while I was going through old files I had saved on my iPod.
