Friday WatchAlong!!! Actually on Friday!!!! And we are going to watch a very VERY long movie. It will be dark out and you will be ready for dinner by the time it is over. Also, you will be STARVING. Rajshri films will always make you super super hungry.
VERY IMPORTANT. We are watching the Netflix version, which is 3 hours and 13 minutes. So that is NOT the same as the einthusan version. I don’t really have a solution for this, beyond awareness. We won’t all be lining up. I’ll be doing Netflix, so if you start to lag behind, fast forward until you catch up I guess?
Otherwise, just have fun with it!!!! Silly movie, great Madhuri, tons of songs, tons of costumes, tons of FOOD.
At 3pm, I will put up a “And PLAY” comment and then we will go from there!!!!
Baby! Calm baby!

Setting aside Salman and Madhuri being in love, it is still a BAD IDEA.

Oh Amrita and Jackie 100% had sex. But yes, Aaina is the only one that manages to make the two sisters with the same man storyline super romantic. Maybe it is because Amrita was never married to Jackie? It was just purely sexual between them?

I also had a stressful week!!! Training a new employee, who is a delight and I adore her, but it means I have to do my regular job and also explain everything I am doing as I am doing it.
Anyway, this movie helped, and pills also helped. I’ve been resisting my “as needed” pills, but I think I have to just give up and take them until the sun returns to Chicago (next month).
