An actress who just a few years ago I wouldn’t have cared about, but somehow just recently she has become worthy of a birthday post. She really is the best part of a surprisingly large number of films!

Tuesday Tamil: Mersal Review (SPOILERS), I Like Bearded Vijay Best
I’m back! For the SPOILER review. Which I am much less excited about than the other one, where I got to talk about the little political speeches dropped in.
Happy Halloween!!!!
You ready to get spooooooooooky? Well, kind of. I can’t really think of many super scary Indian films. Partly because I just don’t like scary/horror films. And I already blew my idea for a post on not-so-scary songs that I just really like from bad horror movies back on Friday the 13th. I know there are a lot of them, especially in the last few years, but I don’t really watch them. So let’s see what I can do with what I have. (this is an updated and reposted post from last year)
Happy 2 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! My 2 Favorite People in His Life
Happy 2 Days to Shahrukh’s birthday! Yesterday was his 3 favorite people in his life, today is my 2 favorite people in his life.
My Sister Has No Power, Electrical Songs!
My sister lives in Maine where, thanks to a massive record breaking windstorm, 64% of the state is now without power. And has been for 24 hours. While the electrical company focuses on getting power back to places like hospitals (spoiled hospitals!) and she shivers in front of her fireplace (this is why houses with fireplaces are the best!), I thought the least I could do is a songs post that she can read on her phone (no power for the internet router).
Tuesday Tamil: Mersal Review (No SPOILERS), Very Very Political
This was such an exhausting weekend. I saw Nivin’s new movie on Friday, then this on Saturday, then ran around for 9 hours on Sunday. I’m so glad that all I have this week is Ittefaq. Although I did enjoy this movie, and Nivin’s movie, it’s just a lot to squeeze in.
Monday Malayalam: Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela Review SPOILERS, an Everyday Story Told in an Everyday Way
I’m back! For my full SPOILERS review, after the very very early Monday morning No Spoilers review. And I’m excited because there is a lot to talk about once I am allowed to spoil things!
News Round-Up: Sexual Harassment And Abhishek (unrelated) Again
I just did a news post on Saturday, and yet there are already new stories out there! How does this keep happening? It’s like the news never stops or something.
Happy 3 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! His 3 Favorite People
Not very different from last year, but I feel like that’s nice, for the last few days, to always have the same thing. Because when you get to the very most important things about a person, not much changes year by year.
Monday Morning Questions Post: Happy Shahrukh Birthday/Ittefaq Week!
Once again, you don’t HAVE to ask me questions or anything related to Shahrukh’s birthday. Or Ittefaq. But you also can if you want.
Monday Malayalam: Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela No SPOILERS Review, a Nivin Pauly Movie that Isn’t About Nivin Pauly
Okay, it’s technically Monday. I am putting this up now! I saw the movie Friday and I’ve been holding off just so I could stay sort of on schedule. Anyway, there is another review coming later, the SPOILERS one.
Why I Didn’t Post More Today and I’M NOT GOING TO FEEL GUILTY!!!!
I went off into The World today, and therefore wasn’t able to sit at home and type and type and type, and you had to make do with one very very long Silly Sunday post instead of anything more than that. And I am trying very hard to feel like I accomplished useful things in The World, instead of feeling bad because I didn’t write my usual 10,000 words a day.
Silly Sunday Fanfic: 4 Real Life Stories Shahrukh Should Play Onscreen
Last Sunday of 31 days o’ SRK! Very sad. Although I am also kind of excited about being able to try out new non-SRK fanfic if I want next week. Anyway, for the final post, 4 real life stories that Shahrukh should play. And since it is just 4, I go into great great detail, unlike me very brief posts for some of the 11 last week.
Pumpkin Songs
I spent the day roasting 5 pumpkins. Tomorrow I turn them into food, I am thinking pumpkin muffins first, pie later (after I get a chance to buy lard for the crust). Anyway, since I didn’t have time to write a substantive post, I am throwing up another silly songs post to represent pumpkins.
News Round-Up: Karan is Good to His Staff, Ajay is Good to the Audience, and Hirani is Good to Our Ears
Happy Saturday! I am cooking cooking cooking (new stove is hear and I have 5 pumpkins!), and also running back and forth to the movie theater, so no time for a real deep post. But at least I can throw up a news post!
Happy 5 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! Five Ways To Celebrate
This is a very practical post. I assume that now is the time we are all finalizing our plans for Thursday? Well, this can be a place to discuss options!
TGIF: 6 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday, the 6 Flavors of SRK
Sadly, this is the last Friday that will be having entirely SRK TGIF posts. Although, happily, that does mean the return of Prabhas and other southern heroes to our lives. Plus John Abraham, Arjun Rampal, and all the other old favorites. Anyway, for our last post, which is also the 6th day before the birthday, I thought the 6 Flavors of Ayurvedic diet/medicine might be nice. In a mixture of images and quotes.
Friday Classics: Manoranjan! A Very Happy Movie About Very Sad Things
I hadn’t watched this movie in about 14 years, and by golly it is just as good as I remembered! Better actually, because back then I didn’t realize how unusual it was to have this kind of a plot.
Silly Post: Songs That Make Me Hungry
This is a very very silly post. But it’s the end of the week, I am almost done with my exhausting SRK celebrations, it’s time to be silly!
DDLJ Scene By Scene Part 33: Chess And Lovers Quarrel
A little bit of Amrish Puri, and the our first terrace scene! Yay! (full index of DDLJ coverage here)
News Round-Up: Prabhas is Pricey, Sushant Singh Rajput Pinches Pennies,
Extra news post this week, because there was some interesting stuff, and also I felt like we needed something to talk about besides Shahrukh.
Happy 7 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! 7 Deadly Sins and SRK
Ha! I thought of something clever! Still just a silly post, but at least with a semi-clever theme. And I did both stills and videos, so that’s something new.
Happy Birthday Raveena Tandon! A Dozen Reasons I Love You!
Raveena! Not remembered as much today as some of the other 90s actresses, but still worth a dozen reasons to love her on her birthday.
Netflix List for October!!!! And This Time, Nothing is “Must Watch”
Kind of an odd month. A ton of stuff added, but it all kind of feels like the bottom of the barrel stuff, nothing really “must watch”. (Accessbollywood.net does the real work of keeping this list updated, you should definitely absolutely subscribe to them for your day to day updates.)
New Youtube Video! Box Office
Be warned, the video quality is VERY VERY POOR. My radiators turned on, which created a persistent hiss in the background. I had to turn on a light because it was so overcast outside which gave a very odd and very unflattering light to it. But at least my voice is good and strong, so you can always hear me.
