It’s hilarious. And I’m having a busy Saturday and my head hurts, so I don’t want to do a real post, instead I am going to share the doggie funny with you all!

Monthly Reminder to Promote!
Once again, I forgot and skipped February. Oh well, it was a depressing month, maybe no one would have liked me if they had found me then anyway.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: What Movie Should I Download For the Airplane?
Happy Saturday! I’m going on a trip! Not for 6 days, but this is my last weekend before, so I have to do a million things to get ready.
Continue readingFriday Classics: Sarfarosh, Aamir’s Take on a Police Procedural
I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this movie before! It’s so good, and so different from really anything else out there. Thoughtful, complex, and with a hero who is more about quiet thinking than quick action.
Continue readingMonthly Reminder to Donate!
Oops, I skipped last month! Oh well, think of it as a Valentine Present to you all, you got to skip this boring boring post in February.
Continue readingTGIF RePost: 7 Sins! Because It Didn’t Get As Many Views as it Deserved Last Week :)
This is SUCH a good post! I put in a lot of a work and it is generally wonderful, and then for whatever reason there wasn’t a lot of traffic last week, and hardly any comments (except for me and Angie saying to each other “why aren’t there more people here?”), so I am reposting it.
Continue reading7 Deadly Sins in Indian Song Form….Sloth! Wake Up Sid to Dil Chahta Hai
My first thought was lullabies, but “sloth” isn’t about sleeping, it’s about laziness. So I am going with Miss Braganza’s idea of lazy manboys as the best representation. And there are so many lazy manboys in Indian film!
Continue readingAlbie Dog Has a Bow Tie!
Need a little pick me up this morning? I am here for you! Mr. Albus Barkeridge has a bow tie.
Continue readingThursday Telugu: Awe, a Movie Where the Stories Are the Star
I watched it! Such an interesting movie. A collection of short stories with big name stars and a great visual aesthetic. And all produced by Nani, yet another reason to love him.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Aamir! 54 Reasons I love You!
Shoot! I forgot this entirely and I have nothing prepared! Oh well, I will repost from last year I guess.
Continue readingHindi Film 101: Red Chillies and a New Way of Reaching the Overseas Audience
This is fun! Kind of a “state of the studio” post, looking at where Red Chillies came from and where it is now, post the release of Badla.
Continue readingHappy Pi Day! Indian Film Stars and Their Spirit Pies
Happy Pi Day! One of my co-workers made and brought in three separate pies, apple and banana cream and key lime. (and if you don’t know about this holiday, it is because today is March 14, or “3/14” or “3.14” as in “Pi”)
Continue readingWednesday Tamil: Sarvam Thaala Mayam, a Movie About Music
I am so excited that this movie is on Netflix! I was all set for it to be streaming on some obscure platform and I’d have to encourage you all to try to track it down. And instead, it’s right there! On Netflix!
Continue readingMade in Heaven Discussion Post: 8 Things I Want in Season 2
Final post! Views have slowed down rapidly, but the nice thing with a streaming series is, I can just have these posts available and wait for more people to finish the series and then come check in. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingMade in Heaven Character Discussion Post: Ahil/Jim and Faiza/Kalki
Last character post! I have a lot to say about these two, because it feels like there are a lot of interpretations of them, and the series never really landed on one or the other.

Made in Heaven Character Discussion Post: Shivani/Jazz and Shashank/Kabir
I’m combining these two, because their storyline was so interwoven in this season. Plus, interest in the MiH posts is dwindling so I want to get them over with. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingMade in Heaven Character Post, Karan/Arjun
Ha, Karan/Arjun! Anyway, this is the character discussion post for the second lead, Arjun. I find him an interesting character, but also a lot less opaque than Tara/Sobhita. So, a lot less to discuss. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to This Week?
Happy Wednesday! Halfway through the week after Daylight Savings started! I am delighted to drive home with the sun still out, but I am also very sleepy and looking forward to the weekend.
Continue readingMade in Heaven Character Post: Tara/Sobhita
Fun fun! I don’t think I’ve done this since Jab Harry Met Sejal maybe? It’s a combination of the characters being written in such a way that there is a lot to talk about, and there being enough people interested for us to have a real conversation.

Made in Heaven LAST EPISODE, Episode 9: Runaway Brides
Well, that took me 48 hours to finish! A sign of a very good show, considering I had to go to work in the middle of that. And sleep. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingMade in Heaven Episode 8: Politicians and the Rewards of Doing the Right Thing
Finally, some happy couples! Of course, they are the ones who mostly avoid the whole wedding insanity. Which is why we only seem to see bad people in this show, the ones who buy into the need for the expensive showy wedding. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingKalank Teaser: Karan Johar’s Dream Multi-Starrer?
I have been in twitter lockdown for the past month or so as a little mental health treat to myself, so I missed this and my friend had to send me the link and shame me for being a bad fan. But whatever, I was out there not being on twitter and enjoying sunshine and happiness and people!
Continue readingMade in Heaven Episode 7 Review, the Royals
Well, this is a fascinating episode! In some ways it feels too simple, in others too complicated. But the way the story brings out surprising contrasting emotions in Arjun and Sobhita, that surprised me. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingMade in Heaven Episode 6 Review: Munglik
This is a definite “it all falls down” kind of episode. After the holding pattern of the last episode, everything happens all of a sudden. And because of that, the wedding story gets a bit short shrift. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingBox Office Report: Badla Does Blockbuster!
I took a little box office vacation the past several weeks, but obviously I had to come back to see how SRK’s new movie did!!!! (data from bollywoodhungama here) This is a pretty light post, because I am planning and writing a more in depth discussion of SRK and Red Chillies to go up separately.
