I have many virtues, but modesty isn’t one of them.
I’m not at all apologetic about being smart or successful because I have had to fight against, and overcome, great odds to become who I am.
So, before you judge me for being far too fortunate, let me introduce you to some of my less fortunate selves.
People are known to go off consumption, when they max out on their credit cards, or are laid off. When you have no money, or no money to spare, it is easy, and often necessary, to stop buying, go off consumption.
So, in case you are wondering if I have gone off consumption because I’m broke, I’m not; just the opposite, in fact.
I have a great job, and I love ninety percent of what I do on ninety percent of the days. I work for a large patriarchal Indian conglomerate, who are not really known for laying off employees. In any case, they love me as much as I love them.
