Sunday 6 December 2009

(Happy Hour. Dinner and Dessert. Raoul's Presentation. More Great Socializing)

Our Guest of Honor

Raoul Malhotra

London Based Scholar And Comedian Visiting Paris

Raoul Malhotra is a young British Asian (India) currently in Paris in his gap year. Next year he will attend LSE (The London School of Economics), but is currently completing course work for his Ph D in life. Over the last year or so, Raoul has taken a capricious approach to Bollywood in an effort to improve his Hindi. Looking at Bollywood from all angles, he will be discussing his own attitudes to Indian cinema, and its marketability all over the world. Frequently asked questions such as "Do all these movies really need to be 4 hours long?" and "Why do they sing and dance at the most inappropriate times?", will be looked at as Raoul attempts to deconstruct the myths and legends of Bollywood.

Background on Bollywood

*Bollywood (Hindi: बॉलीवुड) is the informal term popularly used for the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai, India. The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; it is only a part of the Indian film industry.[1] Bollywood is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest centers of film production in the world.[2][3][4] The name is a portmanteau of Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood, the center of the American film industry. Bollywood is more properly refered to as Hindi cinema, though frequent use of poetic Urdu words is fairly common. There has been a growing presence of Indian English un dialogue and songs as well. It is not uncommon to see films that feature dialogue with English words and phrases, or even whole sentences.[6]The name "Bollywood" is a portmanteau of Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood, the center of the American film industry. [5]. However, unlike Hollywood, Bollywood does not exist as a physical place. The term "Bollywood" has origins in the 1970s, when India overtook America as the world's largest film producer...

"DIAL M for MERDE And About the "MERDE" Series

(Paraphrased from his biographical notes)

Originally from Bournemouth, England, Stephen Clarke played bass in some of the worst rock bands in musical history before leaving town to study French and German at Oxford.
After university, he got a series of high-powered jobs in the wine industry (grape picking), tertiary sector (washing up in a German hotel), and in international diplomacy (teaching English to bored French businessmen).

Stephen Clarke became a fiction writer and is the inventor of the "Merde"series (expat Paul West's) humorous insights about living in France. He sold the first copies of "A Year In the Merde". from a shopping trolley, then to bookshops and publishers. There was a sequel, "Merde Actually", there was a sequel to the sequel, "Merde Happens", and finally the sequel to the sequel to the sequel , "Dial M for Merde." (Another expat Paul West adventure and a spoof on "Dial M for Murder").

Stephen remains a bass player for really bad rock bands.

PERSONAL NOTE FROM PATRICIA ABOUT THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION DAY 2009

http://www.parissoirees.com

IF YOU LIVE IN PARIS HERE'S A VERY PARTIAL LIST OF WHERE YOU CAN GO TO CELEBRATE TODAY.

I COULDN'T STAND OUTSIDE FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF TO GET INTO HOTEL DE VILLE (WITH AN INVITATION). I HAVE TOO MUCH TO DO.

SO I'M WATCHING ON CNN

From the list of places to go, I decided to take Labrador Doggie Eve later to QUEENIE'S, 5 rue de Berri, 75008 Paris, just off the Champs-Elysees, m°George V, and have a drink with many friends. (It's also a discotheque - evening organized by Paulette Johnson of the Barack Obama Campaign.) Beware, there's a cover after midnight but Eve and I will be long gone. I think that it's €12.00. Check: 01 45 62 50 23

MANY TEARS. The end is in sight for Post Slavery Traumatic Syndrome. Wish I could have missed that experience.

Happy US Presidential Inauguration Day!
