One of these news items will make your day, I guarantee it. I know, that’s a big guarantee, but I’m pretty comfortable with it.
Continue readingIt’s Rajkummar’s birthday in two days, so a good time to remember one of his happiest dreamiest songs.
Continue readingNo surprise to anyone, we’re watching Veere di Wedding! Yaaaaaaay, Sonam’s birthday week!
Continue reading“Recommend” or “talk about how much we both love them”. I am guessing the DCIB self-selected community has very similar fantasy book tastes, so if you say what your favorite series is, someone else is going to say “OMG, I love that series, so-and-so is my favorite character, it’s so great how her friendship with such-and-such is shown”. Because we all like Indian film, and most likely the things we like in it are the same things we like in books.
Continue readingOops, I’m two days late on Ameesha. Oh well, she keeps changing the spelling of her name, I can’t be expected to keep track of her.
Continue readingAs I carried Albie Dog in to the bedroom with me last night, my parents and I started talking about where their dogs slept when they were little. Surprisingly, everyone had different answers.
Continue readingIt’s Sukumaran’s birthday today, Malayalam actor whose two sons surpassed him in fame, so I wanted to end the day with my favorite song from his family.
Continue readingJust like for Sonam, I am bringing up a nice little lower budget pleasant film you may have forgotten about. If you need a smile, you should watch this movie!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I am up at the lake house, but still working, which is not super fun. I have to be chained to my computer 9 hours a day, so no boating or swimming or big projects. On the flip side, as soon as I am freed, I am out of there. Do not expect a lot of blog activity after 5!
Continue readingSonam has a great instagram, happy light and fun. So of course for her birthday all kinds of people followed her happy fun lead and put up their own happy fun messages for her.
Continue readingI thought about posting a review of one of her really really good movies, like Ek Ladki or Neerja, but everyone reviews those. Let’s look at the forgotten pleasant films!
Continue readingHappy Birthday Sonam!!!!!! A day to celebrate the movies you helped get greenlit, and the actors you helped to highlight.
Continue readingDimple has been very lucky, to have one of the longest lasting movie star romances in Hindi film. But we don’t talk about it, because technically her boyfriend is married.
Continue readingLast part! Although I may put up a bonus post kind of coming from the side and focusing on her relationship with Sunny.
Continue readingPart 1 was all Dimple, and her love story with Rajesh and so on. This brings in the next generation, but I think that is fair, you can’t really understand or appreciate Dimple without understanding her daughter.
Continue readingI wrote this 3 years ago I think, so it’s a little out of date, but most of it is dealing with stuff from a long time ago anyway, so it’s not like it has changed any.
Continue readingNo, Veere Di Wedding is still not on Prime or Netflix. But it is on Einthusan! And, I am guessing by process of elimination, Zee5 (hisssssssssssss!!! Eviiiiiiiiiilllll!!!!!). And Ek Ladki is still on Netflix.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I’m traveling today, sort of. My parents and I are moving up to the family lake house for the next two weeks, where internet access is spotty and the view is beautiful. No idea if this will affect posting schedules or not, we will all find out together.
Continue readingWhy did I stop doing these good night posts? Probably because I forgot. Anyway, I just remembered them, in time to put up something nice for Dimple’s birthday tomorrow.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Shilpa! Not a great actress, not a lot of great movies, but very fun in songs. Just makes me happy.
Continue readingWe watched it on Friday, which was super fun. But also we got all upset about the half done love story and I started thinking about how I would have written it to have a whole other second half that gave a more satisfying love story structure instead of the very light weight plot with a lot of dance competitions instead of relationship drama.
Continue readingI did two serious posts today, we deserve puppy time. I am trolling instagram for good things for us.
Continue readingThis is just a starting point, there are so many films to watch and so many things to learn, I look forward to more suggestions in the comments.
Continue readingWhat a fun topic! No, I mean that sincerely, I find this an interesting intellectual exercise since it is kind of like looking at my culture through a looking glass.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! Exciting news here, rumor has it one of the Goodwills is accepting donations again, yaaaaaaaay! I’ve got a pile of donations, and a pile or recycling, that has just been sitting in my apartment. Today is the day I go up and down and up and down the stairs and get rid of all of it.
