lobelia321I continue to be absurdly smitten by Shahrukh Khan.
In addition to being elegant, charming, witty and gorgeous, he is also irresistibly arrogant and has a nose to die for. Plus, how fabulous can you get?
On being asked how he manages being a Muslim while being married to a Hindu woman and how that affects bringing up their children, he said: "We just confuse the shit out of them." And smiled that resistance-is-futile boyish smile. Then he added, when they get asked what they are at school, Hindu or Muslim, he's been telling them just to confuse people further by replying, "Christian". And then said something how they will grow up to be tolerant of all religions.
Take that, people who insist on everyone being locked into a 'community'. Those children are neither part of the 'Muslim' nor the 'Hindu' community but part of the community of humans. As are we all.
Okay, perhaps you can tell I have been reading Amartya Sen on the loo, and that I'm drawn to Enlightenment ideas of human rights more than to 20th-C. identity politics. *grins*
