Another day at the KGAF, another book launch, only this one had the audience in splits. Anubhav Paul of 'Loins of Punjab' fame has written his latest 'mocumentry' into a novel - The President is coming. The prose is crisp and his sense of comic timing is superb to say the least. Sample this - White House spokeswoman announces President Bush looking for a young Indian, reporter asks how young? Spokeswoman hesitates 'It's not like that'. The satire genre is really taking off with young Indians willing to laugh at themselves. After all, if an entire generation of IIT/IIM grads (of all people!) are willing to write about mediocrity and sell lakhs of copies, acquiring a sense of humor must be getting fashionable!
P.S. - Sunshine Boys was watchable, but a little drawn out. Watch it for the tarty nurse. Nothing like some shapely legs to spice up the humor!
