THE EVIDENCE

Vikas in NASA shirt EXHIBIT A
Claims to be an astronaut. Furthest he's travelled is the fridge โ€” and even that required motivation.
Vikas in a shop EXHIBIT B
Caught haggling for a phone like the shopkeeper personally insulted his entire family. Saved โ‚น50. Felt like a CEO.
Vikas talking EXHIBIT C
Mid-monologue. Nobody asked the question. He's answering it anyway. At length. With a follow-up.
Vikas in EW PEOPLE shirt EXHIBIT D
His official, government-stamped opinion on humanity. And yet โ€” here we all are, throwing him a party. The audacity goes both ways.
FINAL OBJECTIVE

BLOW OUT THE CANDLES

Tap each flame. Make a wish. Try not to spit on the cake this year.

GENERATE A WISH

Tap the button. The Oracle is contractually obligated to be slightly insulting.

Okay, roast over. For real โ€” you're one of the genuinely good ones, Vikas. The kind of friend who shows up, even wearing a shirt that says "EW, PEOPLE." Here's to another orbit. ๐Ÿš€

MISSION: VIKAS ยท transmitted with love (and zero professionalism) by a friend who clearly had too much time.
