Continuing our Indian Marriages, arranged and otherwise, discussion, I wanted to put up a list of some movies that I think have really interested takes on the whole thing. In case you were looking for something to watch and discuss, or have already seen them and want a place to discuss them.
Continue readingWell, not “millennial”, Design for Living was almost 100 years ago, and there is the whole complicated Duchess of Devonshire-Lady Elizabeth Foster-Duke of Devonshire thing. But I guess the word “throuple” is new, so that’s something my generation has contributed to relationships.
Continue readingWhen I started thinking about the couples in this movie related to sex, I realized that I had enough new thoughts I shouldn’t just update the existing review, but rather write an entirely new review. Woo-hoo! New review!

What an interesting movie! I read that it is supposed to be the start of the new age films, but it actually reminded me a lot more of Aalkkoottathil Thaniye. And other films I’ve seen from that classic 90s/late 80s era.
How could I not celebrate! So very many Indian engineer characters! And all of them, so adorable!
