Here's my year-end list of absolute mediocrities and crashing bores
1) Taslima Nasreen - Doubt if she's written anything at all since Lajja, which was a sad little book to start with.
2) Arundhati Roy - I figured out the kind of stuff Booker Prizes like. It is based on /1

basic English literature values and next item of interest is how exotic the author can get. Arundhati Roy was the British literary world overcompensating for their eerie fixation on Dead White Males. The bar is now set so high that if one were to beat Ms Roy on exoticism /2

the award must go to a pet alligator from Hawaii.
3) Ram Guha - Can you think of anything sadder than tweeting pictures of food to get attention?
4) Assorted actor chappies who keep fearing for the future of India. That bus left in 2015.

5) The MeToo brigade. Started out as a posh variant of Junior Vikatan's Mister Meow. Took down a BJP Minister, but the Tamil movie version, predictably, ended in sour idli batter.
6) The NOTA - Bhakta tussle on Twitter. Enough already guys! /4

7) Celebrity marriages - boring, repetitive and in bad taste.
8) The interest around celebrity marriages - Worse taste than 7.
9) The year-end breast beating around poll results. Folks who hadn't won their appartment treasurer elections were offering advice to AS /5

10) Assorted hacks and numerically challenged movie directors, artists, talk show hosts weighing in on how the Finance Ministry-RBI balance should work.

Happy New Year, Folks! Try to be less stupid. /END
