Domi doesn't noe

Been a long time since my last post.

6th May 2007,2:15 pm,UPSC office,New Delhi:5000 people. 2 hours.160 questions.80 seats.Concisely put,NLS.

The dreadful period of competitions is slowly waning.As is my hope of getting through somewhere.Sad.

For months now,I've been searching for 8 1/2,La Dolce Vita(Italian) and The Seventh Seal(Swedish).Futile. For instance,

Planet M, EDM:
Me: Do you have any Italian movie?
Salesman: No sir. We don't keep those kind of movies. You can find them in the store across the road.
Me: Look,I'm not asking for Porn.
Salesman: Oh! You want a real Italian movie? As in, one with Italian dialogues in it?


So, After many such futile searches, I finally resorted to the option I knew would fail:Palika Bazar.

For those unacquainted with Delhi, Palika is the biggest grey market in Delhi. From Undies to CDs, everything's fake(Fake undies are a scary thought;not so much with CDs). I went to the nearest not-so-shady-looking store called Electronic Zone. With half a mind to leave, I asked him if he had any Swedish or Italian movie.I knew,a nanosecond more,and I shall see those yellowed teeth leering at me.The response,those golden words, "Haan! Bergman ki mil jaayegi....italian mein movie ke naam batao". I wanted to hug the guy but realised that Section 377 of the IPC is still in force. 1 hour Later: "I met death today; we're playing chess".
