And about pretentious Indians in general (I went to a college full of them, and have often been accused of being one!). Midnight's Children was great. Have you tried the Trotter-nama? A work of genius, I thought. Hey you’re really spot on about English, August. And about pretentious Indians in general (I went to a college full of them, and have often been accused of being one!).

I didn't even know there was a Dev Benegal - seems he's Shyam's nephew? Is he any good otherwise? I've been meaning to watch this movie; I'll try to find it when I'm in India. Cool!

Indians are 'hazaar fucked': a thousand times. There's a pretty good movie--no songs and dances but spliffs, sunshine, Marcus Aurelius, jogging and masturbating--made in the early 90s by Dev Benegal with Rahul Bose as the lead. Pretty funny and drole and I think now available on DVD. best Nabeel Yep, great book. Indians are ‘hazaar fucked’: a thousand times.
