	BBC - BBC Four Cinema - The Buddha of Suburbia
		On The Buddha of Suburbia's tenth anniversary it's difficult to appreciate the controversy and moral furore which this adaptation of Hanif Kureishi's debut novel provoked.
		Naveen Andrews plays the charismatic Karim, a half-Asian, half-English, wholly hedonistic chancer who is mortified when his civil servant father (Roshan Seth) plunges into an affair with the exotic Eva and begins passing himself off as a spiritual guru.
		When interviewed about The Buddha of Suburbia, for example, one journalist questioned whether he was "hard" enough in dealing with social issues, likening him to an Asian John Mortimer".

		For a guy who favors David Bowie's glam-rock period the most, it's kinda funny that THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA turns out to be one of my favorite Bowie albums.
		"The Buddha of Suburbia" - a great "state of my mind" song in which the singer perseveres with an optimistic outlook in the face of a modern world mired in insanity.
		"Buddha of Suburbia" - one could say this almost identical take on the opening track is pointless and lazy, but I like the way the song provides bookends for the album and brings its theme full circle.

		Older Christian theologians might have responded that such a path would not be religion, but the Tibetan response was, in effect, "No problem." Indeed, over 2,500 years ago the Buddha himself declared he was not promulgating a new religion but teaching remedies for suffering, and that no one should accept his teachings on faith.
		The Dalai Lama has even declared, "If the words or the Buddha and the findings of modern science contradict each other, then the former have to go." Try to imagine the pope or an ayatollah making a similar statement about the New Testament or the Koran.
		In 1959, when Mao Zedong learned that the Dalai Lama had managed to escape, he groaned, "In that case we have lost." Mao was wrong, of course, for today Tibet, flooded with massive Chinese population transfers, is in effect a Chinese colony with ever slimmer chances of regaining its independence.

	the mystique of the Siamese cat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		There are many myths surrounding the Siamese, that it is a temple cat, bred by monks, or a royal cat, exclusive to the palaces of Siam, and there is no doubt that for a cat with so much grace and elegance, any kind of romantic story around it's origins are easy to believe.
		In the painting, the cat is shown in a still life with a plastic buddha, which is a reference to all the stories and myths based around this breed of cat, but also it is about how we create a fantasy or some kind of exotic ideal and project it onto a suitable vessel.
		I think of suburbia as a rather prosaic place, where one might expect a buddha to be plastic, and the cat, to add a little bit of oriental mystery!

	The Legitimising of His/Her-stories in Hanif Kureishi's The Buddha of Suburbia
		In Hanif Kureishi's The Buddha of Suburbia, Karim, the protagonist, defines himself as "having emerged from two old histories" (3).
		To a large extent, the stories of Karim and most of the characters of this novel have been affected by History, in particular the History of colonisation.
		It can be argued that most of the characters in The Buddha of Suburbia strive at having their personal narratives legitimised by London which acts as the metaphorical centre of authority.

		Kureishi wrote his Buddha with a great facility and handled difficult situations in a stride, in a down to earth and a matter-of-factly manner.
		He has impersonated his father in the role of Buddha and may be he himself is Karim, a bisexual son of a Pakistani father and a British white mother, living in two worlds and two cultures in both of which he exists naturally and comfortably.
		Together with his wise-ass alter ego, Karim Amir in The Buddha of Suburbia ("My name is Karim Amir, and I am an Englishman born and bred, almost"37), Hanif Kureishi offers, unabashedly, his creative motto: "No secrets were safe from me" (20).

		Like this film, The Buddha is also at once a “condition of England” piece, an exploration of the changing meanings of “Englishness” and an analysis of the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
