My sister, the teacher, celebrates Shahrukh and Amitabh in her own special way. On their birthdays every year, her homework problems have a very special theme. Also, there is background music playing during class. And depending on the ethnic make-up of the group, they either really get into it (like when she was teaching in New Jersey and the class was 2/3rds desi) or are super confused. Anyway, this year she is letting me share with you all, so we can all learn about Shahrukh, and also math.

Birthday Celebrations Continue! Twitter Tweets
Happy Shahrukh’s birthday again!!!!! Press conference going on now, but in the meantime I thought I would do a quick troll through twitter to see what else is out there and cute.
New Youtube Video, Box Office
Yet another disastrous video. It’s the stupid sun! Which is not coming out any more. And the only way I can get the right kind of light is if I use sunlight. Oh well, again, the content is good even if the visuals are fuzzy.
Happy Shahrukh’s Birthday! News From India
Good morning! Shahrukh waited to come out to greet his fans until I was awake, which was terribly considerate of him. Well, for me. Not for the poor fans who had been waiting all night and day. But that’s just part of the November 2nd story, what else has been happening?
Happy Birthday Shahrukh!!!!!!!! 52 Presents You Have Given Me
It’s been November 2nd in India for ages, but it is just now turning over to November 2nd in Chicago. And so, on this magical minute, 52 presents Shahrukh has given me.
Happy Birthday to Shahrukh!!!!! 31 Times Over
For your own convenience, here is a nice long listing of every single birthday post for the whole past month. Feel free to reread over and over again while you refresh twitter looking for his birthday message to us.
Box Office: Kerala Arrives in the UK, Aamir Arrives Everywhere Else
Global Box Office is out! And once again, like last week, things look great everywhere but America. Stubborn Americans, we just don’t like anything. (as always, figures courtesy of Bollywoodhungama and Rentrack)
Happy Birthday Aish! My 12 Favorite Songs
Aish is not my favorite actress ever, or my favorite public persona person. But on her birthday, I am going to follow a “if you can’t say anything nice…” policy, and just focus on her dancing, which is incredible. She shows both Bharat Natyam training, and a really good ability to sell a dance onscreen. So here are my 12 favorite Aish dances. (this is an updated and reposted post from last year)
Wednesday Watching Post: What Are You Watching and Reading and Thinking Before Ittefaq?
Happy Wednesday! Only one day left/6 hours until Shahrukh’s birthday. And only 2 days until Ittefaq! Oh, and I have a Shahrukh Question for you.
Happy 1 Day to Shahrukh’s Birthday! The 1 Way He Makes Me Feel
Yaaaaaay! For the 1 day, the final day, here is the 1 way that Shahrukh makes me feel. And, okay, I’m going to go a bit over the top here, but I figure, if you’ve come with me this far, you feel the same way. Plus, I’m all caught up in the holiday spirit! And this is almost the same post I put up last year, but that’s just because my feelings haven’t changed since then. There’s just a few more songs available to express them.
Happy Birthday Ileana D’Cruz!!! A Dozen Reasons I Love You
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.
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.
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!
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!
