“Salman Rushdie has agreed to divorce his wife, Padma Lakshmi, because of her desire to end their marriage. He asks that the media respect his privacy at this difficult time.” Thus reads a press release issued yesterday.
# Rushdie’s first marriage (Clarissa Luard) 1976 to 1987: 11 years
# Second marriage (Marianne Wiggins) 1988 to 1993: 5 years
# Third marriage (Elizabeth West) 1997 to 2004: 7 years
# Fourth marriage (Padma Lakshmi) 2004 to 2007: 3 years.

Even if you haven’t read The Da Vinci Code and have no knowledge of the Fibonacci Numbers or the Seven Brigdes of Konigsberg, how many years might Rushdie’s fifth marriage last?

forgetting the Fibonacci series for a minute, i would say that he is getting wiser as he is getting older
More a pulicity stunt than anything else. Media should stop with this coverage.
How do you say this Vinay, becasue he is spending less and less time in
each marriage.If you go on this analogy,how many more marriages.
@ KK , lol thats true , but my point was he is also escaping from it earlier than b4
variety is the spice of life. Sir Salman, I envy you.
pardon my french. nsy anteeni!!
TS,
You are pardoned!!.. But pray tell us what you intended to convey ???…
Am quite intrigued to find what you wished to convey !!
Cheers !!!
Any problem if Sal man Rush die marries again? It will be only his fifth encounter. After all he married one at a time. He could have married all the four at a time if only he followed the tradition of the faith literally , whom he has offended to the extent of being the victim of their Fatwa
