    What year is this from? Sometimes I can't recognize young Rekha even when she's staring me in the face. To me what's a bit odd about this photo is how black black black her hair, eyes, eyebrows, and eyeliner is - it seems a bit too one-dimensional and thus not quite real.

    This is from 1972. It looks like a case of painted photograph.

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.
