I’ve been avoiding anything that even comes close to “news”, because I don’t want to bring stress and distress to this Happy Place. However! I took a little peek at SRK’s twitter, and there was nothing stressful or distressful there, just things to make you feel happy and loved and good.
Continue readingI’ve written so many stories for Jaya for her birthday, she must be sick of reading my stuff. Let’s surprise her this year and give her something written by you all!
Continue readingWoo-hoo, ALTBalaji! I am dipping my toes into the highest quality Indian based original streaming content.
Continue readingAnother streaming series I reviewed! Only season 1, because I got so exhausted with it I just couldn’t face season 2.
Continue readingEnjoy! Watch this fun light little 15 minute episodes series, and then read my fun light little few paragraph reviews.
Continue readingI thought I already put this up. But I guess not! It’s only a few reviews, I clustered the episodes together, but still worth having in one place.
Continue readingALTBalaji! The little streaming service that could! It’s the streaming branch of Ekta Kapoor’s entertainment empire, and while on satellite TV she is know for inventing the sweet saccharine family drama, on streaming she is all about groundbreaking quality. This show isn’t the best of what she’s done, but it’s pretty darn good! Especially if you like mommy problems dramedies (Big Little Lies, the Bad Moms movies, etc.).
Continue readingNot gonna say the first big hit serial or anything like that, because Pakistani TV serials have been great since the 80s at least. But this was the one that hit satellite TV big time all over the world.
Continue readingThis should be a fun post for all of us to vent our ire! Movies always make mothers out to be these wise understanding people who we should forgive, no matter what. And so many of them are SO BAD!!!!
Continue readingEpisode 2! Another pleasant 15 minutes of life with a young couple figuring things out together.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! Today I go from my parents’ apartment, to my apartment. And then tomorrow I go back again. SUCH EXCITEMENT!!!!
Continue readingI started a new streaming series series of reviews, but I forgot to say I was doing it, and now I’m not sure you know. I am! It’s a new series! I’ll be doing little mini-reviews of every episode, one a day! And it’s super short, easy, fun, and light. Watch it with me and discuss!
Continue readingOh boy, a combined birthday alphabet game! These alphabet games have been quit fun, haven’t they?
Continue readingWoo-hoo! Friday watchalong, high point of my week! And tonight is my turn to pick the movie to watch with my parents, another high point!
Continue readingPatricia Merry, my birthday researcher, reminded me that I missed Ajay yesterday and now Kajol will never forgive me. So, sorry! Late last minute make-up post!
Continue readingI’ve been thinking I need to do more streaming series reviews, so I sat down all ready to finally watch Family Man on Prime, deep and complex and clever and critically acclaimed, deserving of lengthy in depth reviews and discussion. And I just can’t do it. So instead, I went the total opposite direction and started Little Things on Netflix. Cozy, happy, uncomplicated, 15 minute episodes. Awwww. It’s like having a little piece of chocolate instead of a full meal.
Continue readingI’m not even telling you what to donate, I’m just giving you a tip on how to get started and figure it out. Because I was stumped!
Continue readingHey, it’s Prabhudeva’s birthday! Now I really feel bad for not doing Street Dancer 3D for the movie today. Life is so COMPLICATED! I’ll give him this post instead.
Continue readingI decided! Jhoom Barabar Jhoom! This may have been a terrible terrible mistake. I love it, but whose to say I am right? But you all like Preity, right? She has the dimples? And also, sorry, I messed up scheduling this post. Notice it is TWENTY-THREE hours from now, not 24. So, this time tomorrow, minus one hour. 3pm Chicago time.
Continue readingThe chicken movie! The one with the really clever trailer! It’s on Netflix! And it’s…..okay. Didn’t blow me away, but perfectly fine. Tabu is there.
Continue readingNot “best”. If I say “best”, everyone’s gonna be all “1950s! Guru Dutt! Raj Kapoor! Giants walked the earth!” And of course that’s true. But was it really FUN back then? With all that exhausting depth and brilliance flying around everywhere?
Continue readingYaaaaaay! Party time! 43 is a nice solid number, isn’t it? Firmly within the 4th decade, no question about it.
Continue readingI love these songs! It’s not that the hero is foolish, it’s that he is trying to cheer up the people around him (love interest, small children, etc.) by ACTING foolish. Like a court jester. Which is a movie that is now on Prime by the way, and you should all watch it and share it with your children. For Happiness.
Continue readingMy kind of April Fools trick! The kind you tell people about right away so it doesn’t scare them, and then ask them to help you fix it.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! And Happy April Fools Day! I will be doing nothing fool-ish on this blog, and that’s not a trick. Really. I think practical jokes, unless you are really really good at them, are kind of mean. So this will be a safe place of no jokes. Unless I do something silly like “find the thing that is wrong in this picture”.
