I love his writing, tweets and smiley interviews – very cathartic at the end of a hard day at work! But many in England today prefer anything Desi to Wodehouse, myself included…

This conversation reminds me of a person I know who would make you cringe with her fake accent – which she mainly uses around white people or when being introduced to new people. I have heard of her switching between an indian accent and a british accent mid-sentance when white co-workers entered the elevator. She also had a moment during a con-cal where her ‘indian’ accent slipped out and she was overly aghast and apologetic.

The type of person who holds their head up a bit while talking. She actually used the word ‘peasants’ when referring to those who refer to Bombay as Mumbai. (“Oh please, only the peasants call it that”) I mean seriously – who uses the word peasants non-ironically ? Fortunately the statement told me everything I needed to know about her personality.

If you do go, please, please take some pics and post them here.

I don’t know. But the lesser-known part of the fort toward Rajghat seems to be spectacular to me. It has some marble chhatris that I’d like to see up close. Especially if you’re into Delhi history, the North Delhi area seems worth exploring. I grew up in South Delhi, with only sporadic visits to purani dilli. I want to make up for that deficit as an adult. And the immediacy of delicious paneer paranthas in Chandni Chowk obliterates the grief of personal life

In the lonely backwaters of St. Stephen’s exist a misunderstood and victimized tribe known as “sciencees” who would be very hurt by some of these comments.

Is that a popular pastime these days? My sister and her friends have been doing that too..
