MICHAEL Rushdie---------

rUSHDIE mentions that everything has shape if you look for it. There is no escape from form, immediately after comparing the different sources of blood. The "rioters spilling eachothers blood" the blood of "his mothers cheeks. drifting off from the subject to discuss the affairs of his "inner world" then returning to the mutilation of saleem sinai. I feel that in the line of no escape from form, rushdie is merely considering the tendency to look for patterns in chaos, and eventually finding them. in terms of style I this jump from one telling to another subject displays the non linearity of rushdies style, he jumps on tangents and allows them to loose steam in his ranting. He has so much to say in dealing with the entitiy of india that , some things are put on stand by while he explains others departments of his mental chasm. wHICH IS understandable for someone who uses his own mind as a forum for telepathic communication.
