Mea Culpa: the glittering fabric of the constitution

The Independent

One of the temptations of fancy writing is that we lead ourselves into using words because of what they sound like rather than what they mean. In an article about Boris Johnson last weekend we said that he “was responsible for corrupting and coruscating the fabric of Britain’s constitution”. This is fine alliteration, but as Philip Nalpanis pointed out, “coruscating” …

Op-Ed: My people aren’t Joan Didion’s true Californians, and I have felt this so keenly

LA Times

It could have been coincidence, or normal atmospheric conditions, that in the three weeks before Joan Didion’s death she was on my mind. In late November, I made an impetuous pilgrimage to a place Didion made famous in “Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream,” a place where my own roots run deep, because her essays formed me as a writer …

Satyamev Jayate 2 movie review: John Abraham film is an ode to patriotism, police and protein shake

Firstpost

Language: Hindi What’s something new that can be said about director Milap Milan Zaveri’s annual assault on good taste? To repeat the same things about Zaveri’s films being dated, tropey and exploitative is like concluding John Abraham’s favourite dish is NOT Chhole Bhature.
