rattled their rattles, giggled their giggles and screamed their screams!

what a sentence aint? very simple yet intelligent! Poignant and flashy!! catchy yet conveys!!!
I used to dread Salman Rushdie! last (or only) time I tried years back, I had to refer a dictionary every 3rd word. So I never pursued beyond those 5 pages:-)
So Salman for me was over with some hot gossips about Mahalaxmi or his hide outs or just some outrageous comments!
But then last sunday in Times of India there was a short story! Its a must read for simple style and intelligent writing. What observation skill. He is far out, better than most of us in observation of some tambram character. Freak out fella he should be if he has observed so much! The title of this post is just an example. you will find more like "his was a family of mosquitoes, love being their itchy bite.."
Pl see here for that short story called "In the south". amazing!
