Charlie Kaufman (voice-over):The only thing I'm actually qualified to write about is myself and my own self - Charlie Kaufman (Adaptation) In his essay sixty three words, Milan Kundera speaks about the process of " dizzying reduction that reduces lives to our social functions ". He argues that the novel's raison d'etre is to exist resisting this reduction and champion the spirit of complexity saying things aren't simple. But with the quote above I have attempted to do exactly that kind of reduction and with limited success. Times demand you reduce and not do justice to your reading experience. Quite possible when you it is impressive stuff but not quite possible when it is flooring. You throw the pencil away because every line is underlinable and the experience of reading is just that.

Farmer suicides, state sponsored genocides, cross-border terrorism, corporate frauds and such yawn. Then they get all high and moral about why we don't exercise franchise.

I am all for incest and tortured souls in moderation, but a good laugh from time to time never hurt anybody - PG Wodehouse It is for things like that that the man is arguably one of the most loved in the history of the world. People - like this author- wear his badge and profess their admiration. After a critical mass it also becomes one of those signs of 'culture' ------ SathyaRaj: pEr ennanga GoundaMaNi: mArimuthu Gounder 'nga.... SR: ........ GM: siva gOthram , kiruthikai natchathram... archanaiyai aarambikkalaamE I watched this last night before shutting down and retiring with a hearty laugh. But it got me thinking. Apparently this is how it should be. Humorists are supposed to make you think and thus justify their existence in this weighty world. But this one was not that kind of thinking.
