~Personal Statement ~
Ram Guha thinks. Therefore I am.
Romilla Thapar thought. Therefore I was.

The Mughals gave us art, culture, architecture, cuisine & the Brits gave us English, railways & Nehru.
2

~ The Beauty of Poverty ~
Knowledge of India extends to 4 people in the servant quarters, Goa which tragically is losing its Portuguese flavour & our hills which no longer remind one of Scotland.
3

~Syncretic Culture ~
Bound by single malt, kababs at Karims, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Joy to the World …

~Social Register~
Ticked off as ARRIVED if nephew’s wife’s brother connected to the NAC and/or runs a NGO.

~ Lexicon~
The vulgar includes a few French terms with Fcuk.
Never the vernacular even at the most vilest.

People Like Us Are In Charge
So
The World Is Beautiful.…💕

First Language - English

Religious Denomination- Defiantly Atheist
Parties on special occasions except whole hog at Wedding Ceremonies (can’t deny a bride & groom their Bollywood moment )
Cremations…Abh jaate jaate kya ladhna … ?
Non polluting electric cremation
8

Celebrations ✅
Eid- Owaisi is my Biryani Buddy.
Easter -Hail the Resurrection of Christ.
But it’s not as regressive as KarvaChauth & RakshaBandhan...
Christmas - Christmas Lunch & Carols where Father X of letter writing fame is invited.
9

Celebrations ❌
Polluting Diwali. Ram was anyway a chauvinistic pig (Audrey Truschke)
Misogynistic Holi. Waste of water & Sagarika Certified semen filled balloons -Ewwww!

Food habits - MEAT EATING.
Check FB & Instagram for fillet & steak pics, giraffe head & rhino bottom.

~ Personal Statement ~
Love Aurangzeb. He was the best. Tipu rocks.
Thank God we we were saved by colonisation.

~Opinion~
Critical on anything Hindu.
Silenct on Islam - Marna hai kya ?
Christianity - Awww ! Mulled wine ?!?

~ This Is Not The India We Knew ~
Knowledge of India extends to now only 2 in the servant quarter (good staff is very difficult to find & thanks to Modi they are doing this, that & whatever in their villages )
also 3 in JNU
& Uber/ Ola Cab drivers
12

~Beauty of Subterfuge ~
Urban Naxal from my well anointed drawing room.

Terror apologies keeps those wine cellars chilled.…
(BTW Geelani Sahib & Mirwaiz Sahib are the epitome of Kashmiriyat & don’t talk of those sobbing Pandits. See how well N is coping )
13

~ Syncretic Culture ~
Bound by single malt the kababs at Karims, Yasim Malik, Joy to the World & yaar, find me a Dalit to invite for my dinner party.…

~ Social Standing ~
Desperate.
NGO flush funds have dried up.
NAC is disbanded.
14

~ Lexicon~
Vulgar still includes few French terms with Fcuk.
But the ones that really touch a chord - Go drink Gaumutra & Low IQ Sanghi.(Absolutely melodious from those of us who understand Default Setting & the difference between Profit & Loss )
15

~Mission Statement
We will battle to bring back our beautiful India of peace, love, equality & secularism that has all but disappeared thanks to Narendra Modi.
We miss those days when Soniajee met World Leaders in those gorgeous sarees & MMS… well, MMS…

~Motto~
Noi mangeremo di nuovo. Avrai anche la possibilta di mangiare di nuovo.

Loosely translated with due apologies to the Doyenne of Loose Translations, Mme. Trushcke.

Hum phirse khaayenge. Aap ko bhi mauka milega.

~Toast ~
Bring down this Govt of Plebs!
