in defence of political incorrectness
i hereby boldly state:
i am a creature of irrationality(occasional, especially when provoked by the boss, sundry relatives, rude tradespeople, phone spammers et al )
i have strong likes and dislikes,
i donot like being called ms, s/he, actor, weight-challenged, part-time home economist, etc
i am fond of the brits(in their old avatar pre-multi-racial)
am wary of yanks except for californians
think that eggs sunny side up, mutton rogan josh, mulligawtany soup, buttery marble cakes, prawn curry are a very good idea..
donot like prime time news television in india, punjabified bollywood song sequences, sequinned sarees, indo-westerns, italian food, use of dialogic inputs such as "like", "amazing", "cool dude","rocking" and all forms of hinglish, punjlish, benglish which have taken over speech patterns,
prefer non-use of "f" words especially when certain categories of noveau mistake them for queen's english,
want to live in a time- warp, preferably frozen in 1971(before the indo-bangla war and just after the best of the beatles was over....)
so long then.

If I were to be stuck in 1971 I would realistically be one year old, which I fancy would prevent me from fully enjoying the nostalgia.
I'd settle for the summer of 1979, because that was the year my interest in Blyton was at its peak. I recall I had read most of the Famous Five and Secret Seven by then, but much of the Find-Outers just lay waiting to be devoured.
Ah, to be nine again!
well said!!

indeed, well said.....i'm in agreement with it all, even though i quite like the sequinned-saree!
