Cast away

Filed under:

LAST week as the wife and I sat in a near-deserted beach front restaurant in Goa, watching the rain come down, a group of noisy Bollywood folk entered and commandeered the table next to ours. The director of this unit was an old acquaintance and after exchanging pleasantries, asked if we had encountered any good-looking young gora men or women who they could cast in their Hindi film as extras.

Being the monsoon and therefore off-season, most of the foreign tourists had already packed their ragged rucksacks and returned home and the beaches were therefore totally bereft of bikini babes and buffed bods. A young assistant director from the unit approached the only white couple sitting at a table nearby but was informed they were flying back to Berlin the next morning.
