    They want people to be more like a Lion or a Tiger or anything else ferocious Man like and they world like them to do less Mew Mew and more Grr Grr. When they first got together they looked around the world and realized everything powerful in the world: Western civilization, Islam, true Manly man, White man, Aryan man, real Hinduism, electric motor, the all knowing electric fan overhead the great minds in the Parliament house...they all go GrrGrr, so they decided it was time the Hindu nation too finds its original voice, unique voice, and that voice was GrrGrrr. Now they mostly spend their time telling the people of this 'could-have-been-great-if-we were-in-command' nation to stop mewing and speak in the one true primordial sound...GrrrGrrr.

    Dunn, that's really great. I was deeply disappointed that a discussion of Jayamalini brought me to a blog of Hindiantalk but the excellent of this remark slightly consoled me.

Indian Cigarette Vintage Ads

He put a cigarette in his mouth and, as a matter of silent routine, offered one to Gwyn, who said ‘No thanks.”Richard looked at him.”I packed it in.”"You what?”"I stopped. Three days ago. Cold. That’s it. You just make the life choice.” Richard looked up and inhaled needfully. He gazed at his cigarette. He didn’t really want to smoke it. He wanted to eat it. Almost the only thing that he still liked about Gwyn was that he still smoked…Paradoxically, he no longer wanted to give up smoking: what he wanted to do was take up smoking. Not so much to fill the little gaps between cigarettes with cigarettes (there wouldn’t be time, anyway) or to smoke two cigarettes at once. It was more that he felt the desire to smoke a cigarette even when he was smoking a cigarette. The need was and wasn’t being met… While it would always be true and fair to say that Richard felt like a cigarette, it would now be doubly true and fair to say it. He felt like a cigarette. And he felt like a cig
