...since it follows that clichés can only talk in clichés, Ali's characters spout the requisite quirky homilies: "A blind uncle is better than no uncle"; "Rubbing ashes on your face doesn't make you a saint"; "The jackfruit is still on the tree but already he is oiling his moustache." Chanu, in particular, seems to construct entire monologues out of aphorisms. In Bengali folk theater, that's a tried and tested comedic technique. Here, it's tired and tiring. If you're looking for something with genuine spice, you're better off with Hanif Kureishi...

But it is also the kind of classic course Sorenstam loves, with narrow, tree-lined fairways, deep, ball-eating bunkers and small, slick greens. "Length is not the most important thing," says Colonial head pro Dow Finsterwald Jr. "This is a position golf course"--a plus for Sorenstam, one of the most accurate hitters in the game. She'll have to hope her straight shooting...
