Nah, man. You're thinking of Bangladesh, innit.

So, what was the last book you read, man?

The one about that African leader and his struggle to achieve power for his people. What’s that geezer’s name? Tall, grey…

…trunk…Babar the Elephant, man!

You mean to say you haven't read a book since you were six?!

It's like being re-released in a new format.

Ah, I know where you're coming from. Say I'm, like, a 12" jungle track, right, on fire, right, spinning on the eternal wheels of steel…

Uncle Davinder!

What?

Part newsagent, part minicab driver!

Right.

Wore turbans, right?

Just because they got crappy presents don't mean nothing, man!

Alright. What presents d'you get last year?

Er, well, I got a three-piece suit made out of mirrors, I got a blessing from a holy man who looked like Don King, and a tank top with leg holes!

My uncle Pritam.

And where's he from?

Jalandhar…Oh, my God!
