So last Saturday my college work above went viral after posting it on Reddit.
The day before Navratrilova had gone viral in India after friends (Arvind and Praveen) had posted it on twitter, after which FHM INDIA posted it on facebook.
The response on Reddit was overwhelmingly positive along with some valid criticism and one sweet PM that went;
Fuck you
from *********
“Way to exploit and trivialize homelessness for profit you piece of shit”
I would like to clarify that I never got an A for this work, but if he/she/teehee is talking about my Reddit Karma and/or Trophy Case then I would like to state that at the time of the making of this work, I had not yet come across reddit or even jimmyr.com which introduced me to the rabbit hole that is reddit.
Anywho, I would like to thank here Ojasvi Mohanty, Saalim Sulemani and Hitesh Malaviya. My talented mates who helped me shoot this work and were giggling with me at the idea. And now that I am world famous, I would like to thank my mother, Mrs. Shakuntala Hans, who feels infinitely bored as her nest is empty, my father Dr. Rajkumar Hans who is still the devoted historian digging up the underdogs and the unmentioned of Indian history and my brother Arman who, like the long distance horse is gaining momentum and might soon surpass us all. I would also like to thank my relatives who have been uncharacteristically patient with me my whole life, but now are losing patience on the subject of my marriage. It is a testament to our progress as a society that they at times wondered if I maybe gay. If I was indeed “in the closet”, then rest assured I would be stuck there for eternity as I am too wide for the closet door.
Subsequently, I would like to thank all the redditors who enjoyed my work and took time to go through my portfolio.
Hope to see everyone on the frontpage soon.

I spelled ‘vegetarian’ wrong.
