I resent that, dammit! Where does this Sarma guy get off, calling us all 
"mud-coloured" people? For his information, middle/upper-middle class Indians
are definitely NOT mud-colored. They are colored in graceful earth tones. The 
un-hip,  "dehati" types are chocolate-colored. Get it right, fella!

Well, I guess at least she is better-looking than her mum-in-law. But
seriously, does this proposed reversion to the throne mean that we have to
go through the tedious business of changing our lifestyles to accommodate
the current fashion trends in Britain? That could be a prolem, you know.
Somehow, "Boy Subrahmanyeswara Sankaralingam Pillai" lacks the zip and verve
of "Boy George". 

P.S. I did honestly try to draw smiley faces all over this article, but the
     best I could manage was :-(=   . It sort of looks like a glum face with
     an out-stuck tongue. I apologise for my incompetence.
