Take it with a spoonful of salt
A person sitting across you at a wedding reception is busy blowing his horn: “You know five years ago, I took a risk and bought my first Nissan bakkie in order to deliver popcorn to schoolchildren. Today, I not only own a fleet of trucks, but the entire popcorn plantation itself.” All the while, he is eating so much that he didn’t see biryani before! Everyone thinks: “This guy is such a thriller,” but what we read in the media daily is far worse than that.
