It was Krishna janmastami yesterday. This is Krishna’s birthday and is celebrated by Hindus all over the world. I traveled to friends where we had a nice program with some poetic reading, singing and a great dinner.

On the way home I turned on the radio for a little bit and overheard a commercial that got me thinking. It was a government commercial that persuaded kids to finish school. It was absurd all in all. The commercial didn’t breathe any authenticity. I had to think of old people trying to catch up with the latest buzzwords. It just doesn’t sound real. Stick with what you are good at and don’t overextend yourself to reach out to the kids. They will know you are fooling them.
