Clear roads, hide for you life, is that Mr. Amway or the poet with the disrepute having tortured Ghalib with his poems?

Last time I went to Allahabad I was cornered by my rich and not so rich acquaintances on the magic of Amway. They have seen me grow, fed me through bottles, and now when they see me all grown up they don’t want me to miss out on Kiyosaki’s wisdom. One of them (a hotel tycoon around the town) asked me if I had read Rich Dad Poor Dad after a twenty minute long discourse. I said I had (I actually had while I was in school, about fifteen years back), but that didn’t help when he resumed talking about time compounding. I ran out of gestures of approval. How do I tell him that I understand that it works, but I have no intentions of growing a tree that showers kokeps. He glamorized the irony, ‘A professor or even a dean earns because of what he knows, but still he has to work hard every day. Can, what he knows, warrant his children’s comfortable future?’ I nod my head, again in approval. I recalled earlier moments when I was chased by people once in a while with an Amway bill in one hand. ‘Here comes Mr. Amway’, the superhero, the salesman who blasphemes; he torches my attention with his winks that seem to last the seven days of creation. I start noticing the number of etches on his forehead and count moles around his chin that I never noticed earlier. I also notice a couple of white hair in his locks and suddenly it seems that he is growing old as well, until he strokes his pen into graphs that needed better preparation and hackneyed lessons from Kiyosaki that I admire, but not enough to rest my thoughts on.

The number of Mr. Amways is growing on my list as the formula is out into the market and the secret to being rich is no longer a secret. The formula is successful, but can we help it if a certain Mr. Amway makes lousy attempts being Superman. It’s a little more than the Superman costume. And the poor truth is that there is no check on Mr. Amways (I call all multi-level-marketing, MLM professionals, Mr. Amways).

Here are a few products that are dealt with MLM, help me figure if there are any that aren’t being dealt with. The limitation is size. Only things that are portable can fall in this category, so a car might never see these channels, neither perhaps a television. But anything smaller than that, is susceptible. Products range from:

• Soaps (all kinds)
• Tea/Coffee (all kinds)
• Health Supplements
• Plastic products
• Tablets for enhancing fuel efficiency (I was updated on this one two days back)
• Health insurance
• There are brands that I would want to mention but that might offend some readers who revere Mr. Amways

Forgive me the champion Mr. Amways, for the bad ones have polluted the pool, and it’s stinking so bad that even the mention of MLM brings me sour hiccups.

Aah! What a relief. I have been having cramps in my stomach with the need to share my agony with sales supermen, and finally it’s a relief.  I told my mom before I started writing a few minutes back that I need to have my retribution for all the bad hiccups I have had.
