I know what you are talking about… I know exactly what George Bush is thinking this very minute, I know all about the Iraqi elections, I know what caused the tsunami, I know that global warming or not, turtles are going to stay put, I know what Susie said to Tommy, I know they are in love, I know Tommy too well to believe it…
I know that Prabhakaran is alive, I knew Lleyton Hewitt was to lose at the finals – such attitude – and I knew he would have proposed to Bec, oh yes, I know she is a Cartwright, I know all about Feng Shui, and gems, well…don’t you know, they are good if you wear the right one, but diamonds…well, ultimately, it is carbon, you see…Gold, you said gold? Yes, yes, the prices are shooting up, I know. But it makes good investment. Real estate is an option but where do you invest? Well, Bangalore is good, and we have New Dubai, anyway…
No, he was just plain lucky to win the raffle, I know, he has never won before. But do you know what Marquez has said about luck? Never mind, he knows what he is saying, I know. That is not the case with Shakespeare you see, well, they say he never lived but I know that is all propaganda…
You should learn to see the truth; after all, I have been seeing this thing for long. No, no, Shah Rukh wasn’t lying, he did say “hi” to Salman Khan, I saw it, you know. Do you know why Amitabh didn’t turn up for the Gifa, oh yes, he was right here in Dubai…
Yes, I have heard that, Shabana Azmi will head the Indian national commission for women, but you know it wasn’t an easy decision. What will she do anyway? She is a good actress…but Oscar material, no, I don’t think so. Will Kate Winslet win? I know, she was good but Hillary Swank is superb, oh you didn’t see Million Dollar Baby? Well, man, Morgan Freeman is a riot, he is amazing…
You haven’t heard about Gary V, oh boy, he is playing in Dubai, and guess what, Vina Morales is a guest too, what, you have never been to a Filipino concert? You should check it out, man…
I hear prices of vanilla are shooting, I knew it all along, but rubber is always safe…no, no, you got it wrong, AT&T shares are up, but then all is not rosy about the international money markets, you see, there are these after-effects of the tsunami…
Tsunami was impending, you know… but I hear that it is the result of an underwater nuclear explosion… and you know who is behind it all. I know, I know, you can’t beat fate…
The man wasn’t lying: We the Malayalis, the citizens of the world, who happen to represent a tiny state in India, which they call Kerala, we, know it all… I know….
