"Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit"



OK, much much pressure here. A good friend who also happens to be a brilliant blogger told me to be "creative and funny" in my blog. Actually he said "try to be creative and funny", and he meant it in all earnestness. Horror is me, as I sit down to write this - reaching into the very contrived recesses of my brain to scrounge up some witticisms. Well, sorry, can't do it. But I have posted a great one by Banksy for your entertainment. He will always be my fall back.

Happy London Day!



So, Indians have been coming to London and England to work, study, live, eat, drink, play, suffer, lose, win...for centuries really. But Indians aren't the only ones...Banksy, breathes and lives and disparages London. London in March and April is all about China in London. China at Liberty's, China at the V&A and then again back to India and the news of Tata and the Jaguar dowry or lack of it. The point I am trying to get at is that this world is NOT small as we would like to imagine - to suit and appeal to our sense of irony and false illusion of comfort - it never has been; in fact it is enormous and we are lucky to witness small exaggerated slivers of it in every corner.
