The passive nose rubbing scene (not the grave digger scene in Hamlet) while reading the namaaz in Midnight’s Children was sure platformed on the hilarious side.The old man rubbed his nose on cold snow for he must have had a reticent pride that was buried in his mystic antipathy.A deluge of offsprings whom he had littered around on the coasts of Mumbai, his germane skin incandescent and illumined in the Kashmir snow when he parched his lucid hope to Allah.

His ex-wife Padma Laxmi, recently dropped clothes for a magazine cover!
