Oh, the meetings and all…

14Apr08

Things have been happening rather fast.

Soon after I was acquainted to Paul Oakenfold and his Bunkka, the dashing Mimoh came to shake hands as Jimmy. As if this was not enough, Sir Rushdie came up to read me a few excerpts from his The Enchantress of Florence. I was reintroduced to Akbar and asked to have lunch with the imaginary Jodha Bai. I was about to clap after Birbal’s antics when Sashi Tharoor cautioned me to be wary of writers and poets with his article on Kipling’s If. Leander Jameson appeared hurt but I seemed not to notice and focussed instead on Buddha Bar. Later, John Malkovich entertained with his brilliant puppetting. I was in a swirl when I had to take a ride on The Darjeeling Limited where I met the illustrious Coppola family through Roman and Jason. I wonder what Bill Murray was doing on it though.

I need to rest. Rafi, sing me a song.
