Some Such Name

Tee-Hee!I've just finished sending an e-mail to the CEO of Volkswagen. No, he's not part of my old boyz network:

Dr. Pischetsrieder,

I am a 28 year-old Bombay-based writer, a literary ruffian, and as my friends are fond of saying, 'the human dynamo'. I was just thinking the other day that since I can't seem to afford a Volkswagen car in the near-near future, you should give it to me free for one year.

In return, I will drive this VW brand around India, Pakistan, and other remote parts of South Asia. I will travel with a film-maker, and distribute free, disposable cameras & mobile phones to farmers. I will carry a laptop and keep a weblog on the internet of my whereabouts and activities. I will work up a storm wherever I go.

I won't need any money, really. I just want to have fun, and at the same time present an iconoclastic account of a unique journey through a re-awakening civilization. We both know that China and India are set on a course to become economic powerhouses in the next ten years.

Well, I've said it. I look forward to you thoughts. Google me for a biography, or have a glimpse at the link below my signature.

warm regards,
XXXX
