That's purely because I am an avid fan of your work.
But In my own self-righteous mindset, I found an excuse to justify myself for calling you Asoka. You are neither a friend nor a colleague of mine, a status which wouldn't permit me to call you such. I am well aware of the fact that in a polite society a person doesn't address someone else by their name unless that person is being asked to. Dear Asoka, First of all let me apologize for addressing you by your first name.
