When I read this line I immediately knew the author of this post; I’m beginning to follow Sepia ’nuff now to guess the various tones and styles of the authors. I’m getting better at my game of guessing who wrote what.

I'm suspicious. Have they done this before?

I’m suspicious. Have they done this before? I would suggest some traditional sounding workshops to throw the parents off and maybe confuse them into thinking its HAF.Like:

  1. Johnny Walker Black for Kidz: You hate it now but you’ll love it later
  2. Jalebi vs Gulab Jamun: Which one is Mick and which one Keith?
  3. Aishwarya Rai vs Arundhati Roy: Which one is Mick and which one Keith?
  4. Sanjaya Malakar: where is he now?
  5. Dr Sanjay Gupta: Our Leader
  6. Sonia Gandhi, Desi Arnez, and Gwen Stefani: Passing for Desi

It's nice to see no religious affiliation, just desire to do good.</p> What a great idea for a camp for young people. It’s nice to see no religious affiliation, just desire to do good.
