#bongbuffoon

It's quite simple really. I am in a profession that's dominated by Bongs. They surround me in office with their accents and their Tagore and fish curry and sheer brilliance. They also make for brilliant caricatures with all their eccentricities. My real name is Manas. It is, I've been told, a Bong name.

Apparently, I also look a little "Bongish". I never tweeted regularly from my own account @manasgupta. I figured that twitter could be fun if I start a Bong parody account. I was wrong. Well, twitter was fun... is fun, but the parody wasn't. I soon switched from a Bong-oriented focus to general jokes, puns and wordplay. The handle stayed. And I am stuck with it. As for the Buffoon part...I like humour. Sure, some of my jokes suck, but then, some don't.
