No idea if anyone (besides Kirre, of course) will be able to show up this week, so I went with the movie that I wouldn’t mind watching again even if it was just by myself. The songs are so crazy, and the visuals so amazing!

Shahrukh Birthday Countdown BATTLE OF THE CHAMPIONS: Who is Sexier, Don or Harry or Jug?
Oh yeah, I’m not afraid to ask the tough questions! Sometimes multiple times, I feel like I have done a variation of this post before but I couldn’t confirm in the archives, so I am going ahead with it!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa! The Movie He Himself Thinks is One of His Best!
Such a good movie! And such a light happy movie too, I just love it, maybes you smile all day just thinking about it.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Tea! Who Drinks It, Why Do You Like it, What is Your Technique, Does Anyone Put in Lemon or Is That Just Made Up?
Another random fun discussion post! Tea! Counterpart to our “coffee” discussion. Get all your tea opinions ready!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown: Darr! His First For Real Classic Film
I certainly enjoy Deewana and Chamatkar and Baazigar, but they aren’t like high quality deep classic things. Darr though, Darr is CLASSIC. A brilliant consideration of women’s powerlessness in the face of men who want to “rescue” her or “protect” her.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Final Part!!!
THE END. At last. Although it was certainly a fun ride.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 7!
Second to last part! Woot woot! After this we have to move on to Darr which is considerably high quality, and less fun.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 6!
Second day of Baazigar bits! I could have down it all in one day, but why rush? It’s fun, we should stretch out the joy.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: What to See This Week? Insane Tamil Movie I, Chaahat for Ramya Krishnan’s Birthday, or Something Else?
I’m really pretty open this week, my mind is a blank. Chaahat for Ramya, or I because it is PERFECT for snarking, both are ones I’ve been thinking about for a while. But I don’t have any particular loyalty to them.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to the Week I (maybe) Finish with My Foot?
Happy Wednesday! And happy day I have my last doctor’s appt and my last physical therapy appointment! Hopefully. Maybe.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 5!
Woot, moving right along! Because I already wrote them and am reposting, it took a lot longer the first time around.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 4!
This is halfway through my summary, which means it should be halfway through the movie, but I’m not sure if I lined up right or not. Oh well.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 3!
This has 8 parts in total, in case you were wondering. Which should take me neatly into tomorrow and keep my blogging full with little effort on my part, yaaaay!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 2!
Another part! This is a movie that is actually worth rewatching, so rewatch it, read my posts, and follow along.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown! SRKajol First Appear, Baazigar! Part 1!
This is exciting, one of my first scene by scenes! So it is a little raggedy and confused, but still fun to read. And I will be posting each bit separately over the next few hours.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown: Movie 5! King Uncle, Shahrukh Takes Third Place Behind a Little Girl and Jackie Shroff
King Uncle! The Indian remake of Little Orphan Annie! Very silly. Very happy. Very little SRK.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What is Your Favorite Season and Why?
A vital question! Which hopefully will get us all talking a bit, because I like it when we talk, and also I am procrastinating about writing my next Shahrukh review.
Continue readingInstagram Round-Up: Sid M is Cute and Funny, Varun With the Two Loves of His Life, and Gauri’s Got a Book!
Haven’t done one of these in a while, feeling kind of low energy this morning, so I thought I would see if there was anything awesome on The Internet. There isn’t really anything awesome, but there’s some stuff that is okay.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown: Movie 5! Maya Memsaab!
Once again, have only seen this movie a couple of times, and haven’t watched it in years. But I will soldier on and try to put up SOME kind of a review!
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me On Ayushmann Khurrana’s Birthday?
Happy Monday! I got my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the year this morning. I’m back at my parents and there is a drive through Starbucks a couple blocks away from them, so when I woke up early this morning, I thought “I’m gonna walk the dog over to my car and drive to Starbucks and treat myself”. The Starbucks lady said my dog was cute, so it was an all around successful adventure.
Continue readingMasaba Masaba, Thoughts and Questions about the WHOLE THING
I did two posts quickly summarizing and reviewing each of the 6 episodes (first 3 and then second 3). And now, a very quick post discussing the WHOLE THING!!!
Continue readingMasaba Masaba Reviews (SPOILERS): Second Half of Season, Through to End!
Either it took me a second to get back into the rhythm, or the start of this second half was kind of “off”.
Continue readingBiggest Event of 2020: I Got a Mild Hair Change
Truly, Biggest Event! I think we can all agree on that. I’ve been thinking about it for about a month (thus the hair posts, sort of. It wasn’t feedback or convincing me exactly, it was more that having those conversations with friends made me realize it was a fun conversation to have), had the appointment scheduled for a week and a half, and finally did it today. And the whole process was miserable, I never want to get a salon cut again, blech!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown! Movie 4, Dil Aashna Hai, First Film Signed and 4th Released
I love Dil Aashna Hai! I watched it years ago on a funky library copy, and fell in love with it. And then I couldn’t track down a copy on DVD to buy until just recently. I should have stolen the library copy! No one else could possibly appreciate it as much as me, I deserved that DVD! But I didn’t, because I am honest, which means it wasn’t until it just popped up on a random ebay list from a seller in India that I was able to watch it again. It’s even more wonderful than I remembered!
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Get An Elliptical Delivered!
Happy Saturday! I feel like such a cliche, because everyone is doing this, but I bought myself a home gym equipment thing. Laying around with my foot up for a month really made me want to be more active, and we are heading into winter in Chicago when being active outside will be harder and harder. So I took the plunge and bought myself an elliptical, which is supposed to be delivered at some point in a 4 hour window, and I am going to force the nice delivery man to carry it up 3 flights of stairs for me.
