Kochappan and Bipansha !

Anne Nicole smith is dead.

I was shocked. kochappan was also shocked. He had two shocks in a row; the first one because of my English, for which he fell, and now, this.How can he bear this tragedy !. I wanted to know more about his analysis of actresses and their talent. Anne Nicole of Hollywood died, for no particular reason, in a hotel room in Las Vegas.

'' Aniyan. They are no more 'actresses'; they are called actors to remove gender bias.Facial expression and effective delivery of dialogue are the assets an actor should necessarily have.

But now you can emote through any part of your anatomy.'' He stopped and went into thoughts ;about Anne nicole's anatomy.

Like William Wordsworth remembering the sight of the Daffodils: '' In vacant or in pensive mood they flashed upon the inward eye which is the bliss of solitude'', Kochappan went into inward eye searching for Anne Nicole smith. I woke him up, and with a sad face he continued.

'' Now lot of actresses, sorry, actors, leave others behind by, by their ' behinds' ;cameras zoom in on the emotions of their 'behinds' instead of their face. Anne nicole, Britney Spears all belong to this school of acting : something like the 'Lucknow gharana' in Hindustani classical music.''

Kochappan always believed in giving apt examples; hence the reference to the 'Gharanas'.

He was preparing to go to Anne Nicole again in line with Wordsworth , but I prevented him from doing so.

'' The others are those whose forte is acting from their heart, anatamically, their chest.

Sophia Loren, Elezabeth Taylor etc belonged to this.Priyanka Chopra, Mallika Shekhawath, Bipansha Basu all belong to this school''.

"But actors like Bipansha are knowledgable and intelligent'' I told him.

He had a sarcastic smile on his face.

I knew that kochappan had little opinion of the knowledge of filmi people. I told him that I can cite instances of their proving it in Quiz programmes. He challenged me to cite one example and I told him about Bipansha's answers in 'Kaun banega Crorepathi' on valentine's day.
He nodded and I gave it to him. Bipansha in KBC on Valentine's Day.

Who are 'Romans' ?Pat came her reply ''They are people who never stay at one place itself''
she won Rs.10000.

Kochappan was not convinced. I gave another sample.

''Who was Milton ? ''. Pat came the reply. '' Milton was that poet who wrote 'Paradise lost' and when his wife died wrote '' Paradise Regained'' .
She won Rs.20000/

kochappan moved a littile - in agreement with me.
'' Why is Brtish Empire called a land where the sun never sets?''
Pat came the reply .'' Because the British Empire is in the east and the sun sets in the west''
She added little more '' Queen Victoria was the longest Queen and she sat in the thorn for 63 years. Her death was the final event which ended her reign''

She won Rs40000/ for the answer and an adiitional Rs.60000 for the additional information.

He could'nt bear the weight of the knowledge of the actor.
He moved closer to me.

The last question before the hooter was - '' who invented the Principle of Gravity?''
Pat ---- --- -----.

'' Issac Walton . It is chiefly noticable during autumn when apples are falling off trees''

She won Rs. 2 lakhs.

Kochappan could'nt bear it any longer ! ,

For the second time, in this week, he fell ; silently !!!
