Last status : quote#14: Yeats on hypermodern chess ;)


age 46+,(b. Oct 1961), London (Calcutta mostly for the next 3 years ... work to do here and I don't mean earning money!) Very private person. The chatty nature of the above paragraph can be misleading. Favourite film director of all times: Luis Buñuel! Also: Jean-Luc Godard, Charlie Chaplin, Michelangelo Antonioni, Federico Fellini, Stanley Kubrick. Favourite film directors currently still making films: Woody Allen, Lars v. Trier, Stephen Frears ['The Queen' is good, but his old films e.g. 'My Beautiful Laundrette' and 'Sammy and Rosie get laid' were better!] That pic is Salvador Dali's 1972 painting 'portrait of Marilyn Monroe'.
