barked. “Er nothing, just standing here, listening,” I said meekly.More In Jaipur Literature FestivalUpdated: Oprah Won't Attend Kumbh MelaAuthor Jeet Thayil Bemoans Rushdie Ban 'Cultural Emergency' Targets 'Vishwaroopam'Photos: Jaipur Literature FestivalCrowds Flock to Rahul Dravid at JaipurMoments later, he allowed a blond woman to jump over, telling the crowd she had a “family emergency.”The organizers then suddenly opened the doors to allow those who had got their glimpse of Oprah and were done to leave, and let others in. I got my first look at Oprah, clad in a mustard kurta and pink chunni on the Blackberry of a young girl who had photographed her on the large TV screens on either side of the lawn, and who claimed that Oprah was the only “good personality” on the entire festival schedule. Picture taken, she was trying to leave. Another young woman was trying to get in, but in the heaving crowd, had lost a shoe.I made my way to a slightly emptier side of the lawn, and found the sound was still muffled, largely by the chatter of the audience. Many were engaged in cellphone conversations telling their friends outside the venue that they were inside the venue.From the stage I heard these phrases waft, “To allow…woman of color…personal space…fantastic.”Yes, it was Oprah.Eventually I squeezed over to the other side of the lawn, where the terrace was relatively empty and the sound was better, people having completed their triumphant phone calls. A security officer was standing by two empty chairs and I sidled up to him. “Free?” I asked and optimistically though he said yes, but as I made to sit down he pulled the chair out from under me.“My commanding officer is sitting here,” he said,toms shoes. Tut-tutting from a nearby woman persuaded him to relent.So,toms outlet, what did Oprah think of India? Pretty much what you d expect.“India is a paradox,” she said, describing her trip as “the greatest life experience I’ve ever had.”“You feel like you’re in the center of something greater and bigger than yourself,” she said, to applause. “Your humanity is being expanded in a way you just don’t feel or I haven’t felt in other places.”She also made the observations that there were “a lot of Indians in India” and “My life is in the Taj Mahal.” Or perhaps she said “wife. Or knife. She told the audience that unlike the women of India, she was not the “marrying kind.”“That would be very hard for me if someone were to arrange a marriage for me, although I think I’m too old,” she said. “Don’t you pass a point where nobody’s arranging anything for you?”Much of the conversation with NDTV journalist Barkha Dutt centered around her childhood, growing up in poverty, her television show, and the school she set up in South Africa.She told the audience she does intend to come back to India again,toms shoes sale, after some news reports suggested she had said this was “my first visit here and my last visit too” because of scuffles between her bodyguards and the crowd in Vrindavan.Towards the end Related articles:
