I feel like I am becoming a celebrity. People started to recognize me on the street because of this website. Today I had the second incident in my life when someone knew who I was without me or anyone else telling. The guy just came up to me and said “Hi, Leonid. How’re you doing?”. I was standing there speechless with a puzzled look on my face and a question in my eyes. Luckily, the guy felt the need to explain - “I’ve recognized you from the picture on your website”.
One day I’ll either get used to it, or get a heart attach, nervous breakdown or some other unpleasant medical condition…

May be one day you will be a president of Cyprus because of your site? Do not forget that you have a mother then.

Don’t worry, I won’t be. I don’t like politics and I hate responsibility. :)

Cool! If I ever land up in Cyprus I’ll ask for your autograph ;-)

Hehe…
Sanjay - the world is getting smaller, so the chances of us meeting somewhere someday are increasing with every day. :) Oh, and we’ll have to exchange the autographs too, as I am a big fan of yours. :)

hmm yeah I guess it is getting smaller… time will tell!
Man I find it pretty scary whenever someone says they’re my fan (which thankfully happens only rarely) - it gives me some sense of responsibility that I could well do without ;-)
