Shantaram


I wonder if Depp ever googles himself??If so, I have a  tiny suggestion for him.. "Indian girls who blog about Depp" or rather "Kalpathy girls+Blog+Depp" (Smile! Wink!Smile!Wink!).

Ever since I heard that Depp is the protagonist in Shantaram my imagination has been in  overdrive.Depp is going to be in India for its shoot!!And, I'm banking on Tulu's and my combined star effect for our paths to cross that of Depp somewhere in Bangalore (WOW!WOW!Please God!!).BUTTT, considering the fact that there are only a million pretty Veelas here, Depp is probably not going to spare us a second glance.We stand a better position if the location were shifted to Palakkad, preferably the heritage village "KALPATHY"(all smilessss!).Possibly the script of the movie might involve Shantaram hiding out for a while disguised as a Tambram Iyer.In that case wouldnt they need two siren maami's clad in Kancheevaram Silk with Kanakambaram in their well oiled hair???? Ofcourse, his name has to be sliiightly modified from just Shantaram to Shantaraman Venkatachalam Krishnamoorthy Subramaniam. He would  have the Poonool,the three lines of Vibhuthi on his forehead and arms, with red Kadukkan gleaming from his ears,a gold Navaratna ring clubbed with Rudraksham maala  and be clad in Soman.To complete the look, lets get him Paragon Hawai Slippers for his lotus feet.

The first ( and only )scene would be Tulu and I walking down Kalpathy street swinging the braided ends of our hair.We will pass Depp on the the street and he will give us a passing glance and look away,but then, the glint of my mookuthi will catch his eye and he will be compelled to look again!But  being the delicate flower that I am, I will blush,look down and make semi-circles in the sand with my toe.At that moment the Deeparadhna will begin,and the bells will start ringing in the Kalpathy Siva Temple. DING DING DING!! And, to my love struck eyes he will appear as Karnan from Mahabharatam replete with Kavaja Kundalam.

The shoot ends with Appa inviting Depp for a "tumbler" of Filter Coffee.:)

P.S: Depp, If you do read this,am just a call away to translate whatever I have written here :)
