Now I see it!!! The hell hath no fury... (The problem is, it is all a show. A real woman in a fury is beautiful. She is as beautiful as Lordess Kali. But look at the expression here.)
Balan Sir: Nauseous. Do we need an exclamation there?
Venu Chettan: I admit; it’s all a show. But at whose cost? For me it looks like a cartoon strip. She looks like Mrs. Nair by Yesudasan with the temperament of ‘Chetathi’ in Bobanum Moliyum. I can’t help thinking of R.K. Laxman’s Common man affectionately watching Ms. Jyoti Devi throwing the tantrum the way a dotting father looks at her mischievous three year old. As a journo how will you deal with it? I don’t think that satire is enough. Perhaps, morose humor – Upamanyu Chatterjee-like - may work.
When you say it, I feel R.K. Laxman's common man watching it dispassionately, yet with his eyebrows raised, is the only clean way a journo can respond to this. Everything else is superflous--one need only see it as it is and not say anything.
