Shobha De is like a chalk squeaking on a blackboard.
A long time back she called (pejoratively) Medha Patkar and Arundhati Roy the "Narmada sisters": bitchyness of breathtaking lack of grace and decency.
In a recent interview she airily told the interviewer '60 is the new 40, you know' -- like she invented the line.
She fits a stereotype -- good taste and elegance, great refinement and sensitivity, having to deal with the burden of the great unwashed of India, awful sex-starved men ogling upper class women, dirty roads and lack of order. Oh to escape to Nice or Davos where you can get a decent pasta.
