Weekly update..
Went and saw Crash last night. Not because my family and me are the type to go out and watch a movie just because it wins an Oscar, but because...oh what the hell, we are that type only. Next on the list is Walk the Line followed by Brokeback Mountain, and Memoirs of a Geisha..
Crash was nice, although it wasnt the kind of hard hitting movie I expected it to be. Having lived in the US for a few years, I thought the movie maker was treating the whole subject of race relations with more tenderness and caution than it deserved. However, had it been a more honest portrayal it probably wouldnt have won the Oscars..nuff said.
The Bai got a pay raise of Rs.100. She was thrilled. She was ecstatic. She told Nidhi that she made the right choice in marrying me (Nidhi, silly, not the Bai). Also discovered that the Bai is a landlord of sorts - she has a room in a chawl which she rents out to 7 people.
After I found that out, I asked her for a loan of Rs. 200.

Careful! The bai is gonna blow it all on throwing stars and flash powder!
b for business woman too. how much interest does she charge? i need some money too.
I asked for a fixed interest rate, but she insisted on a variable interest rate 20 basis points above LIBOR.
variable +20 bips, youch! Be careful she's probably waiting for you to default on the first loan repayment to show you her skills with the mop!
Shes an extortionist, no doubt about that. Preeetty soon she'll have me mopping the house!
just fyi, crash is the most honest potrayal of racism in the US that you can find anywhere in the movies.
