SOOO Disappointed

So... with the Writer's Guild striking there will now be re-runs of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. I feel like I have been cheated. All this time and I thought that THEY actually came up with their material.

You'd think Conan at least could, he used to write for "The Simpson's", after all....

Hi Trish,

I’m sorry I’m hogging blog space not to comment on your blog but to make this unusual request…

I’m a Ph.D. student at Glasgow University trying to find out how people across cultures (U.K. and India) approach life-work, love, leisure, what is important to them and the different things that means ‘happiness’ to them. So I’m here to interview British/Scottish men and women between the ages of 25 and 35 from different walks of life.

And thought this is a good enough way to locate participants..

The interview would be a couple of hours long- we can break this up into a couple of sessions. And there are also some written exercises.

But why would you want to do this? Well for one, you will be part of an important study that eventually aims to find application in making people happy :) Two, you get to talk about yourself for two whole hours while somebody is really paying attention! Three, when you come visiting India, you can stay in my home in Mumbai and you will be taken around. And four, I’ll buy you coffee and snacks (or beer) over the session (s). 

I need about 10-12 people and each is therefore very crucial for the study. We could arrange a place that is convenient to YOU and I’ll produce my university id and passport if you want to see it (!!).

So, if you find this interesting, please mail me at mamthakarollil[at]gmail[.]com. Trust me, most people really enjoy this experience.

Please reply.

Eagerly,
Mamtha.
