Pathaan Discussion Questions: So Much to Talk About! Not Enough Space!!!
Going for my third viewing tonight, but I think many of you have already lapped me in terms of how much you’ve seen it, and you’ve all pretty much done better than me in reading about it! So, let’s pool our opinions and knowledge 🙂
Continue readingDiscussion Post! Most Grown Up Man-like Hindi Film Heroes! The Opposite of the Tortured Manboy Heroes!
Genevieve registered a complaint that Harsh in Tara vs Bilal played yet another manboy can’t talk about his feelings type of guy. Which made me think we should pull out and appreciate the alternative type of heroes! The ones who just handle things and do things without making a fuss about it.
Continue readingThinky/Discussion Post: Why is The Great British Bake Off/Baking Show so Addictive?
I’ve been watching Bake Off for the past week obsessively, and I was doing the same thing this time last year. But the rest of the year, no interest. What is it about this show that makes it so addictive, especially when you are feeling down (I do not like the whole “shortest days of the year” thing in December and January).
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Enemies To Lovers, Which of These Two Versions Do You Prefer???
This is a discussion that came up from the comments, we divided enemies-to-lovers romances into two categories and then couldn’t decide which was better.
Continue readingThinky/Discussion Post: Ghosts/Spirits, What Is Your Personal Feeling About It?
Nothing particularly inspired this post, beyond my parents and I having a conversation last night about if/when we feel the spirits of our shared dead relatives. As I’ve mentioned before, the lake house I go to in the summer has been in our family for almost 100 years, and it’s also where I spent the most time with my beloved Grandmother and Grandfather as a child (and where my father spent the most time with HIS grandparents when HE was a child), so we are surrounded by ghosts of various kinds of here.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Big Questions to Give Personal Opinions On!
Should that be “on which to give personal opinions”? Anyway, it’s rainy and gloomy in Chicago today, and will stay gloomy for several more days, so I thought it would be a good time for us all to get to know each other better 🙂
Continue readingBaby Post! Can We Come Up With Morning Dance Party Songs For Every Day of the Week? Also, Can You Help Me Solve a Dog/Baby Mystery?
Saira, Filmikudhi, and Eva all got new babies this year! So exciting. And of course, I still have Albie Dog, who has many similarities with babies. Anyway, post for all the baby people out there.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Are You Doing For New Years Eve?
Happy Thursday! And Happy Day Before New Years Eve! Let’s share our plans in a lovely DCIB community building way.
Continue readingIMPORTANT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Who is the Sexiest Man Alive, South Asian Edition?
People Magazine is just so smart. Their “Sexiest Man Alive” issue concept is brilliant, and releasing it right before SUPER STRESSFUL Thanksgiving is extra brilliant. Anyway, I am borrowing their idea 🙂
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Celebrity Do You Irrationally Like? Personally, not Professionally or Politically
The follow up to the mean post! What celebrities do we just like, for no reason related to their careers?
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Would You Rather Be Tall, Short, or Average? Caffeine Sensitive or Insensitive? And Finally, Small Dog or Large Dog?
Let’s chat! It’s been a while since we had a nice cozy chat. And I am legitimately curious about what people think on these vital issues. I know my opinions, but I don’t know if they are universal or if folks vary.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: How Do You Cut an Apple?
I figure, this is a question we can all answer. And perhaps, hopefully, learn from each other.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Alcohol! Do You Like It? Do You Not? Should I Try It?
This is a very self-centered post. I mean, I want to hear all your alcohol stories too of course. Not the “I got so drunk I threw up in a mailbox” ones, but more the “I never liked beer until my friend got me to try this thing when we were on a trip once” stories. But also, you get to give me advice!
Continue readingDiscussion Post: It’s National Cheese Day! What Is Your Favorite Way to Eat Cheese?
Cheese! Or, as my nephew calls it, Chiz! It’s delicious, it’s delectable, no one doesn’t like it. Unless someone here doesn’t like it. If you are a cheese hater, Reveal Yourself Now!!!!
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Are Your Family’s Dad Jokes?
My nephew isn’t quite 2 yet, and my sister has already created her own traditional Dad Joke repetraw (sp?). Apparently it comes on you immediately.
Continue readingPandemic Check In Post: Is Anyone Else Experiencing These 3 Weird Specific Physical Reactions?
Let’s take it as a given that we have anxiety and worries and etc. etc. Forget all that! There are three very specific things I have noticed in myself, and am hearing from more of my friends than I would have expected.
Continue readingMother’s Day Discussion Questions Post
Happy Day after Mother’s Day! Thinking about mother’s and things has raised some general questions for me that I want to share with the group.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Are Your Favorite Cross-Cultures Real Life Love Stories?
Angie was just complaining about a memoir she read that was supposed to be this woman’s real life love story, but it was all dramatized and hyped up. Which made me think about the amazing “truth is stranger than fiction” real life love stories that exist in the world. Let’s share our favorites!
Continue readingIMPORTANT FOOD QUESTIONS! Nuts in Brownies, Mustard or Mayo on Sandwiches, Whipped Cream on Milkshakes
We have been avoiding major divisive issues, but I think it is time to take a firm stand and face our differences. Yes, it is another Food Rules post!!!!
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Weddings! Let’s Talk About Our Personal Preference!!!!
I was watching a true crime show which mentioned how this couple couldn’t afford a wedding so they had a big engagement party instead? Which completely confuses me. What’s the difference between a wedding and a big engagement party? Anyway, made me think we should all discuss these Vital Issues.
Continue readingChallenge! Can You Think of a 100% Happy, No Sad Bits At All, Indian Movie?
I have a friend who had a really sucky week so, for Friend Movie Night this week, I want to pick something that has really truly NOTHING sad in it. And it’s HARD!!!
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Which Director Do You Want to Make Your Life Story?
Thanks Miss Braganza for the idea! I love this question! And I suspect many others at DCIB will also love this question.
Continue readingChristie Discussion Post: Which is Your Favorite Christie, and Which Do You Most Want Made Into an Indian Movie?
What fun! For me! And hopefully also some of you. I’ve been on a minor Christie binge, and I just put up a detailed Christie post, and now I want to just chat.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Fictional Love Triangle Would You Change the Ending (Jab Tak Hain Jaan, Chandni, Little Women, How I Met Your Mother, Etc.)
This is a suggestion from Saira, she used as an example Mansfield Park where it felt like Austen was going to put Henry and the heroine together, and then got bored and rushed the ending and changed it. And I immediately thought of SO MANY OTHERS. Here is a list of mine, feel free to share yours.
