poor mr coomer

three episodes of jewel in the crown and you do not know who to feel sorrier for.
of course the saddest character in literary history has to be hari kumar
with his public school accent and brown skin
then there is ungainly ms manners who bashes on regardless as lily chatterjee would say
terrible only
even lily and the commissioner and everyone else are all victims of the violent yoking together of two countries, civilisations and what not
there is nothing i can do
everyone says that from ms crane who commits sati or rather becomes sati to ms manners
they are all victims as well as aggressors
and i also feel very sorry for ronald merrick
who cannot help himself
how in a way kumar is all he wants to be and for that he wants to humiliate and break him
explosive
blair has finished playing at prime minister
i liked the queen
it was nice for its intelligence and for the acute observations
vanity fair did not feature meera nair at her best i thought
she seemed out of her element as did reese witherspoon as becky sharpe
and finally the departed is as wonderful as it was in the first viewing

ugly is as ugly does

everything is so confusing
oh well it is well near impossible to write that too with eating out and subbing and answering idiot phone calls and emails
tiring means tiring
when will i have the time?
when means when
watched aerosmith and delighted in steven tyler's unabashed ugliness
he is so passionately ugly
either one should wonderously beautiful or healthily ugly
it is the mediocrity that is so tiresome
i wish i were ugly like that
dynamically ugly
poor shanti has lost her brother and vijaya her dad
this has been a bad year
and so many people have left like that only
musafir theme makes sense in more ways than one
what was i planning to write
yeah the musafir theme
i guess if the suits had some imagination they would have used the musafir theme for reverse mortgages
onions and garlic is alright
still petty and still mean and scatological as pr says there is an obsessive need to write a joke in every line which gets tiresome
now i am obsessively reading georgette heyer
i never thought of looking in british library for the books
naturally wahan nahin hai to phir kahan he he
i am not people's person and find it tiresome to interact with so many fools
oooh
maybe puzo also was made boss of something or the other and wrote fools die hoping they would
