Ragas, man
2008 April 17
Inspired by Neale, I went to Anu Garg’s Internet Anagram Server, which also works out to I, Rearrangement Servant, to see what khichdi could be made of famous authors’ names:
Jhumpa Lahiri: a prim jail, huh
Her given name, Nilanjana Lahiri:
a halal rain jinni
hi, anal ninja liar
Vikram Chandra: vain, dark charm
Salman Rushdie’s are more voluble:
slushier adman
lush adman, rise
adman hies slur
die, shaman slur
laundries hams
id hurls seaman
sundial harems
smashed urinals
maudlin rashes
alarmed, I shun
his rude Salman
rush, adman lies
sharia slum den
salami duns her
harass nude mil
shaman is lured
his nude’s alarm
diurnal shames
unheard missal
drama lushes in
For good measure, Aishwarya Rai:
sharia airway
aria was hairy
