*I don't know why that so funny; of course her ancestor designed the Eiffel Tower, somebody had to do it.

*I really like Tehelka's culture coverage. Even Tehelka's fluffiest, most crowd-pleasing puff-pieces have something nerve-wracking about them. Tehelka's always got this atmosphere of, "Here's cute and clever novelist Arundhati Roy in her denim cutoffs, fresh off a train that's been machine-gunned by Maoist insurgents."
*Y'know what would be great? A political thriller starring Kalki Koechlin in the Bollywood version of Aniruddha Bahal's "Bunker 13." Of course nobody would dare to go see that movie, but you could probably reap a lot of rupees getting people to convince you not to make it.
