Benedict Cumberbatch and India:
Since I have named my blog benedictcumberbatchindia,
(if looked through properly, it reads benedict cumberbatch india, the legible
versions of this name was already taken on bloggers) I thought it only makes
sense to lay down as many connections as are there between Benedict and India.
Here’s what I found:
He once taught English to Buddhist monks
in Darjeeling, a small, beautiful, slightly touristy place in Eastern part of
India. That's all I found, other than of course the fact that, he played a
character called "Khan", who in previous Star Trek ventures has been
described as "a North Indian Sikh". Well I shall not comment on this
any further. Am slightly confused, a North Indian Sikh named Khan, played by a
white British guy... Hmm. It's probably a small world.
Now that I am done with the India part
of Benedict, I would like to focus more on the main topic of this blog,
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH! More to come, hopefully!
It’s always a good practice to site
sources for anything, so here they are:
PS: Since
there are already some variations of his name floating on the net (examples:
Beautiful Cumbercookies (OK...), Benediction
Chumbawumba(why??), and Bandersnatch Cummerbund) I am jumping into the
bandwagon and trying an Indian version of it. Here it goes:
Benidayal Cumropotash
Not a great one I
guess, but please put in some innovative ones in comments, if you ever read
this!
