So who cares about the looks.

And don’t poke fun at his fashion. His is a serious business….I mean BUSINESS (which is what it is, for both the government (billions in arms) and the striped kind (also billions in drugs, kappan money). So a lack of style or a sense of color or elegance is made up by clout. And I mean CLOUT!

Not to worry too. Very soon, Kuruna Aiya in the east will also get fat and puggy: he is alreaday putting on a pot.

Tell me about it. I’ve had a little experience in having to insert tiresome explanatory “caveats” too, as you know. I think that some (certainly not all) commenters here like being pedantically argumentative just for the sake of it and obviously have a little too much free time on their hands.

Anyway, apart from one or two of the most famous actresses, I don’t know what most of their names are either ;)

I couldn’t go to the tea gift shop I wanted to because it was bombed, so I had to go to another branch. Which gave me change in the from of a stack of notes — each worth ten freaking cents. What the hell am I supposed to do with a stack of dime notes?

Way to go Prabakharan. You totally screwed my morning.
