Raas Leela

When Amit Varma was in town a couple of weeks ago, Sree organized a meet ‘n greet at Leela Lounge. Some Ultrabrown readers showed up. The reason everyone looks bored is that Amit was holding forth on the Indian economy. Who can stop him?

    About time Manish! The guys look bored, the ladies seem to be having fun thinking, “Whatever Amit!” I like the title.
    Best,

    Bored? I did doze off after a point (the pic says a million words!) ;)

    The discussion about the libertarian way of life did go over my simple head, but I do remember laughing quite a lot at Amit’s “I am half Bong, so…” lines ;)

    heh!

    Amit, these NYers are overstimulated by the city that never sleeps… it makes them a tough crowd. You should have done an interpretative dance expressing your outrage at the CPI’s actions in Nandigram.

    I’d have settled for an item number about the 5-year plans.

    Amit, it’s not you. It’s us. Really. Everyone looks kinda tired, because I’ve heard most never sleep in the city that never sleeps. More so since they (we) knew you were coming etc etc; most of the janta stayed up literally most of the night preparing special meals for you and what not! Some came from other states just to meet n greet with you. And what an experience that was.

    Actually I heard someone say that those who managed to stay awake had a great time and would do it again, at the drop of the hat or a nickel or a paisa. So any news regarding the Indo-US N-deal? Thought you must know. Do share…..

    We from NYC and the vicinity are a tough crowd! Enjoying pulling your leg.

    What is one to make of the declaration, O Tamasha?
    One can only distil that there is something dark in the lentil.
    Thy protestations seem a little too forthcoming shall I say.
    Is your heart set on a seasoned man - with mottled skin, bald pate and cheeks gray? ;-)

    Don’t bug tamasha while she’s watching Hannah Montana.

    What’s that? I was watching Get Smart and missed that. That Maxwell Smart, -shakes head and gums on mushy peas- he kills me man.

    Nice!

    However, was I sleeping or did I blink? Suspect it might have been the former. After all, there’s only so much economics a man can take :-)
