    okay… wait.. that guy must be super rich or something

    Not super rich…just this little known author called Salman Rushdie. :)

    so wait i read midnight’s childs n i gotta know… the fic padma n the real padma… can someone explain?

    I don’t think there’s any relation between Padma the dim-witted listener in Midnight’s Children and Lakshmi. But I’m sure Rushdie related his wife to Vina Apsara in The Ground Beneath Her Feet at some point.

    Stupid Girl; doesn’t she realize that he is not in love with her? It’s very obvious that he is merely using this poor woman as a sex object. Who will take care of her when this old man dies? Makes me want to cry…

    “But I’m sure Rushdie related his wife to Vina Apsara in The Ground Beneath Her Feet at some point.”

    And Fury! Let’s not forget the unintentionally comic odes to his wife scattered all over Fury.

    Nice captions. Mrs. Rushdie - kind of a monet though.

    p.s. love this site.

    What can I say. It must have been a hard day’s work but its worth the effort.

    Nice, Manish. Stumbled on to this after checking your Sir Salman post - she’s Lady Rushdie now, isn’t she - man, she’s some Lady ! BTW, can you just like, totally, zonk getty and corbis pics on your own blog just like that?

    I don’t object her being a model but I do think this girl is trying to get fame by any means, she is just trying to be another Anna Nicole. It’s just a shame the kind she is portraying. She is marrying a guy who is older than his father. Makes no sense. She knows she can’t bulid her own nest, she can only break one.

    I meant her and not his. Sorry for the typo
