Happy first Sunday of Advent! Naturally, I had to do a Christmas themed post (to match my Christmas themed TGIF post). I briefly considered doing unmarried mothers in honor of Mary, but then I decided to think small instead and use the random small items of Christmas as jumping off points for story ideas.
Fun fun! Song songs! I don’t know how these movies will be, but the songs are really lovely. Too bad it’s after Thanksgiving so I am not allowed to listen to anything but Christmas music until the 26th (allowed by myself, I have very strict rules for me).
This is a silly silly post. But whatever, I’m exhausted from 3 days of hard house labor and I am guessing the 50% of my readers who are American are either exhausted from that, or from travel. So let’s all be silly together!
Sorry, I haven’t been posting anything, and I probably won’t be posting anything for a while yet. But I can tell you why I won’t be posting! That should entertain you.
Happy Day After Day After Thanksgiving! I am so happy to still have a day off, I wish every week was a 4 day weekend and only 3 days of work. I am getting so much done! And also, for once, enough sleep!
Oh boy, a scheduling announcement! Just what you all were hoping for, I am sure. Oh well, hopefully you read it so you know what is happening.
Delhi 6 is on Netflix now, and a bunch of you were just talking about it, so I thought “why not review it?”
Happy Day After Thanksgiving!!!! Also known as, “the day I get to sleep in and then organize my life”. I’m excited! But also, taking a break because I will always always bring you your TGIF posts.
Well, I spent Thanksgiving watching so-so Christmas themed rom-coms on Netflix. In case you also feel the need for so-so Christmas themed rom-coms, allow me to make some suggestions!
Yaaaaaay, first song!!!! It’s swoony, it’s romantic, it’s colorful, it’s delightful. Thank goodness Ajay-Atul came up with something better than what they did for Thugs.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I didn’t want to do just a rehash of last year’s post of your favorite things, so instead I made you something new, an Okkadu review!
Happy Thanksgiving! It’s one of the best holidays because it is truly just about being thankful for what you have, whatever that is. I know it’s just an American holiday, the First American holiday, before 4th of July or anything else. But it’s a holiday that anyone can celebrate, from India to Europe to Australia, just by being thankful. So, join me! Be thankful!
Oh boy, my first Marathi movie! That hardly seems possible, but I guess it is true. I’ve certainly seen Marathi-based Hindi film movies, like Aiyyaa which had a distinctly Marathi heroine and family at the center of it. But it wasn’t, technically, in the Marathi language. But this is! I am just so multi-culti!
I just went ahead and did “print screen” for the stats pages for the year that I get to see and you don’t. So you can fully understand what I mean when I talk about this post or that post being far more popular, or this way of getting referrals being much better.
Three years of blogging! My my my!!! And for some of you, 3 years of reading. Or 2 years or 1 year. No matter how long it has been, you are all a part of this journey and should be just as proud as I am that I made it to here.
Another TGIF repost!!!! And if you like this, I can keep it up for the next few days of holiday stress. There are many many TGIFs in the archives. Although you have now seen the 4 best ones over the past two days.

Okay, how can I say this classily? There is a certain kind of pose which seems to say “yes, climb on top of me and enjoy yourself”. That is the kind of pose that I am looking for this week. You know, so you can pretend you are kneeling on top of them throwing rose petals or something in a chaste and romantic manner.
I mostly watched Dhanak, because the one sentence description made me think it would be a good Shahrukh fan watch. And it was, certainly. He comes off very well in it. But most of the movie is just about the two small children we are following, and their performances are so delightful, that’s what really makes the film. If you have access to American Netflix, it is streaming now, and I highly recommend it.
I learned last Thanksgiving that no one really has the energy or interest to read or comment over the holiday. So, forget that! No deep thinking! I’m re-posting the most popular TGIFs of the past, we can “read” and discuss those. Okay, and maybe I throw up a post on the Mahabharat just for kicks.
Happy Wednesday! And, if you are in America, Happy Last Workday of the Week!!!! Now, let’s have a little pleasant chit chat before taking off to stay up until 2am making pies (that’s how everyone spends the night before Thanksgiving, right? Not just my family? Stupid apples that take forever to peel).
I put up a deep philosophical post about the Ramayan this morning. But enough of that! There are more important things to think about! And so I am re-posting my massive carefully considered and in depth discussion of which Indian man looks best in blue jeans. Answer: Probably either Maddy or John Abraham.
I want to clarify, I am in no way a religious scholar or even just a regular average Hindu. This is the story and philosophy at the most basic level as I have gleaned it through reading various simple versions of the text, and seeing how it played out in the lives of people I know and in the films.
Congratulations to you! And boo to me because I forgot to put this up yesterday too. Sorry! Travel really messed with my head! Anyway, YAAAAY! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!
Sorry, my schedule is all messed up. I was out of town, there’s the holiday, I missed posting Aaina on time, it’s all a disaster. So I am bumping today’s ReRun review to Sunday. Which, bonus, gives you more time to watch or Re-Watch JBJ!
Sorry, a little later than usual, I’m visiting my sister and I was trying to be polite and not watch TV all the time.
