Prash - yeah, I meant Man from the South. Wonder if KB drew inspiration from this book for the scene in Ninaithale Inikkum where Rajini tries to do his cigarrette thing 10 times in a row. Speaking of which, I've read a short story collection by Sujatha and one of the stories in there is a word-by-word copy of a Dahl short story I dont remember now. There were no attributions in there to anyone, but I hope that was an oversight on the part of the people that prepared the anthology. Tilo,
