Like a volcano
Harneet Singh of the Indian Express interviews Mahesh Bhatt. The first question and answer:
As if to disprove this, Bhatt soon comes up with the original assertion that Meera, the Pakistani actress, "reminds me of Madhubala and Meena Kumari" and "also has the vitality of Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit". Later, to give banality a purple tinge, he informs us that sex appeal is "is a body-to-body reaction. Like fire, it can burn, soothe, comfort, give light or destroy."
Sigh. Why am I reading this on a Sunday morning? Sorry.
Q. How many ideas do you get in a day?
A. My mind is like a volcano. I am continuously recycling the world that I’m exposed to. I have always known that the brain is not an originator but a blender.
