Saturday morning, and copious amount of oil in my hair. I think that would be the ideal way to start a day. I mean, there is nothing as better than warm streams of oil running down your neck, after traversing their way through the undergrowth. Other than sex of course.
Early morning - for me that is...
The washerwoman seems to have suddenly found her calling in life, shes being extra painful in doing everything, right from the utensils to washing clothes. God chose to bestow sincerity on her on the day, i wanted to leave early, because, i had something closely resembling to a plan. I am sure he's having a hearty laugh!
Speaking of plans, yesterday i was scanning event websites. the sort where they update clueless people about the happenings around them; because; they are too glued to their computer terminals to go find out for themselves a.k.a me. To my utter delight and mild surprise, there was a small entry in the events section that spoke of an event, NOT involving Beer! It was truly a sight for sore eyes. Not that i don't like Beer - that would be blasphemy, but indeed, the site administrator must have stuck his head out of the vat of ale for precisely 30 seconds; to figure out there was an exhibition of cartoons by Mario Miranda (NO BEER!)
Though i have a sneaky suspicion that the guy (not Mario) must have been to Cafe Mondegar in Mumbai to notice his cartoons, and subsequently, give them a place in the list that comprised of events mostly involving ...
you guessed it - Beer!
I love cartoons, everybody does. You would have to have severe eczema in all the wrong places as a child to not like them. But that's besides the point, the point is it is amazing that a cartoonist can poke fun at the high and mighty in his own sly way. Look at R.K. Laxman. He's been lampooning the political class for decades, and hes got his bread buttered on both sides. Ajit Ninan is another genius with his cartoons. Our man Mario Miranda hails from Goa and you can see the relaxed and festive atmosphere, combined with the hospitable people (who are decidedly loud) reflecting in his cartoons.
OK - time out. The washerwoman has left! Gotta scoot!!
