Boy did I feel naked when I bought the papers this afternoon.

… because there was my big-ass mugshot for all and sundry to see!

I value my privacy enormously and am thankful that the folks at Star were kind enough to indulge me with a caricature to keep my identity under wraps all these years. But when I got the sms that moving forward, a photo byline was compulsory, I knew my anonymous days were numbered.

Then again, I may be making a mountain out of a molehill. As my down-to-earth parents put it: “Aiya, nobody will notice. So small only the photo! Why don’t want to let people see? Can become famous like Tay Tian Yan …(that famous political columnist in Sin Chew).”

^^

Thanks to the Star folks for going the extra mile digging up those B/W photos of the good doctor.

I would like to correct a couple of factual errors:
1. The good doctor is addressed as Dr Majumder, not Dr Madhuri.
2. She is 78 years old, not 80 years old.

On a different note, I would like to express my appreciation to my reader Shehan for taking the time to design my brand new banner 🙂

It’s soooo me, thanks a million!
