It must be SS the NUT CASE he thought. (And ofcourse he thought right). Nut case because SS once he has<br />set himself a target he will go any extent to achive it sometimes moving away from EQUIPOISE.<br /><br />SS on the other hand knew G to be a MAN OF MANY PARTS. As they entered the theater SS told G that he wanted to recruit three dancers.<br /><br />In a TRICE the curtains went up. Four dancers were seen. Nothing obscene.<br /><br />SS becomes sort of OX EYED. The music began. AILA AILA from the movie "I".<br />One lass is doe eyed. One girl is distinctively Indian. G points towards SS and says "That is KAYALVIZHI (fish eyed). Aye is she not the TERMAGANT we used to see in the SHEBEEN while we were in Nairobi?<br /><br />PO FACED G in a hush hush voice murmured: Quiet! We are being watched.<br />He almost vomited the RAITA as he said that.<br /><br />What happened next?<br /><br />C.G.
