2. Narendra Modi: As above
3. Varna: For being an incomprehensible idiot
4. The teacher who taught me 'Logic' in 2003: For making me feel as degraded as I ever could and ever will
5. The bugger in the train: Who first introduced me to what it feels like to be sexually assaulted….

I should also quote this paragraph from here…

" Suffer from a sporadically sanguine mental disposition provoked by minority haters, pig-headed authoritarians, homophobes, imbeciles, know-it-all types, idiotarians, preachers, war mongers, chauvinists, rich show-offs, weepy characters, ‘frandly’ freaks, cows and other despicable species."
