Oh yeah, old school Hindi Film 101! One of those where I go back back back in time because it’s important to have the proper grounding.

NEW SRK Song!!!! “Jhoome Jo Pathan”, Thank Goodness No Wig
What a wonderful thing to wake up to!!! And thank you Claudia for posting the first alert. I like it better than “Besheram Rang” partly because of no-wig, but also other reasons.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Hang Out With a Small Child!
Happy Saturday! I was all set to spend the day doing a puzzle, and then my friend invited me over to hang out with her and her daughter and watch Christmas movies (so the daughter doesn’t notice her Dad is putting together a nursery for her impending little sister).
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: 8am Chicago Time Sunday! Chennai Express! Because SRK is Christmas in Human Form
One of the lucky few DCIB readers who met Shahrukh in real life described the sensation as like Christmas morning. So it makes total sense to call an SRK movie a “Christmas movie”. Right? Or at least, I think it makes sense to all DCIBians.
Continue readingTGIFF: Shahrukh at KIFF! Just a Bunch of Pictures!
TGIFF! Another very stressful work week, end of year tasks are the WORST, so I am going to reward myself with a nice SRK post inspired by the links Angie posted to his speech at the Calcutta film festival.
Continue readingSilly FanFic Post: Murder and Romance for Middle-Aged Actress (Kajol, Juhi, Madhuri, Shefali Shah?)! Inspired By Murder and Magnolias
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, fanfic! I got a candle going, my space heater fireplace burning, and the dog cuddled next to me on this cold cloudy day. Perfect time to write an indulgent fanfic.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Day After a NEW SRK SONG Released????
Happy Monday!!!! Today I leave work early to do a first round of Christmas package mailing! I don’t have everything ready yet, but I had a magical realization that I can just mail some stuff! So it feels less overwhelming next weekend.
Continue readingNew SRK Song Trailer!!!!! Besheram Rang! I Stayed Up Late For It!!!!
Woot! So excited to have something to be excited about! I stayed up late special for this release, and wrote most of this post in advance so I could just plug in the link.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Enjoy My Last Saturday At Home!
Happy Saturday! I shouldn’t say “last Saturday”, I’m just gonna be out of town next weekend. But still, at home weekends are precious! So this Saturday I’m gonna run two errands, and spend the rest of the time cuddling the dog on the couch.
Continue readingSunday Morning WatchAlong: Kandukondain Kandukondain for Tabu and Aish, or Jab Harry Met Sejal for Shahrukh
I hit up the birthdays list! While we’ve been celebrating SRK, there’s other folks too. Oh, and also still SRK.
Continue readingHappy Shahrukh Day! Admire My Cake!
The last guests just left from my Grand Shahrukh Day Party. It was delightful, old friends hanging out and eating cake.
Continue readingHappy Shahrukh Day! A Photo Essay on What He Means to Me
In my last post, I ended by describing all the things he is to me, the essential things not the temporary. And now, I shall represent that IN IMAGES!
Continue readingWhat Shahrukh Means to Me This Year: More an Idea Than a Man
It’s Shahrukh Day, which means it’s time for me to take my annual stock of where my fandom is at. It’s in an interesting place this year, a time when it is more about me and my feelings than Shahrukh himself.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Last Monday Before Halloween?
Happy Monday! I am WORN OUT. Yesterday I went to a pumpkin patch with my friends and their friends and their friends’ 6 year old. Did you know 6 year olds don’t have an off switch? He just kept going and going and going and finally we left at 7:30 and he was still asking to ride the merry go round one more time and/or go on the jump pillow.
Continue readingShahrukh Month: Silly Sunday! Shahrukh Plays Prince Charles in a Fictionalized Biopic!
Is this tacky? Eh, don’t care, they’re public people, and I’m just using the public knowledge aspects of their lives. Plus it’s my highly fictionalized and changed version. And I really wanna see Shahrukh do something complex and this would be fun!
Continue readingNew Shahrukh Photo! Important Question, How Photoshopped Is This?
Thank you Angie! You make sure we know the important things that are happening. I look forward to your wise voice in this discussion.
Continue readingBrahmastra Review (No SPOILERS): Shahrukh Cameo, But Otherwise VOMIT
I don’t even care about spoiling the SRK cameo. It’s the main reason most of you would want to watch it, and I wouldn’t be giving you necessary info without acknowledging that. But otherwise, a disgusting bowl of undercooked reheated greasy microwave pizza with phoney “masala” sauce that was eaten and then thrown up in a big brown pile with chunks on the sidewalk by a drunk hipster who was yelling at his girlfriend at 3am while you are trying to sleep. Did that description make you feel a little nauseated and unhappy? WELCOME TO MY WORLD! Midnight, I just got home, and I feel too sick to sleep.
Continue readingReal Life International Indian-American Crime Story/Awesome Possible Reema-Zoya Series! (Podcast Scam Likely)
I listened to the most FASCINATING podcast, which is directly related to our blog topics which makes it even better. It’s about scam phone calls coming out of Bombay, hitting America targeting NRIs, and the money being processed by non-English speaking desperate recent NRIs driving around the American midwest. We know these people! Like, on film and also in real life!
Continue readingShahrukh Saturday, Just Because
Happy Saturday! I was up late last night watching movies with the Upstairs People, then I woke up early and mowed the lawn and ran errands and discovered there is a 30 ounce drink option at Starbucks, and then I came home and met the drain plumber man, and now I am waiting for him to finish doing the drain and then tell us if he can do a quick fix on the broken bit. Stupid tree roots. Anyway, I think it is a good time to browse Shahrukh photos.
Continue readingNo Sunday WatchAlong! Instead Let’s Brainstorm Happy Calming Weekend Activities
Well, the week started with one of my co-workers going out for surgery meaning we were down a person, continued with a sewage backup in the basement, then on to the electricity flickering, plus general heat related exhaustion and misery. I’ve finally made it to the weekend and I think I need to focus on doing anything that will make me NOT spin out with anxiety. So, no watchalong (since almost no one could join anyway), instead we shall all think of nice things to do for ourselves this weekend.
Continue readingFor Judy’s birthday! Easter Parade Remake, the Perfect SRK-Anushka Movie, and Summer Stock Remake, the Perfect Ranveer-Katrina Movie
Yaaaay, more fanfic! A late birthday present to ME! And also, Judy Garland’s 100th birthday is today and she is a very important person everywhere all the time, so she deserves attention.
Continue readingSHAHRUKH ALERT!!! New Teaser!!! Atlee Movie!!!!
Another Shahrukh teaser!!!! So this is 3 movies that are finally being officially announced (Pathan, Dunki, now Jawan). 2023 could be another 2016 with a new SRK movie every few months, woot!!!
Continue readingSilly Sunday on Thursday: True Crime Femme Fatale Romance for SRK, and Recasting Anne of the Island!!!!
I am sitting in a laundromat waiting for my clothes to be done, perfect time to let my imagination take flight and not really think about much of anything. Oh, and by the way, no watchalong this week, my schedule is just too crazy (my friends invited their friend who is a professional landscaper to come fix our back yard, so we are working flat out for the 3 days he is in town)
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Kill Plants!
Happy Saturday! I am SO EXCITED about this 3 day weekend! By the end of the weekend, I’m going to have the front yard under control, and my homemade fence in place.
Continue readingFor Ramadan! Pathani Suit Brackets!
Every Ramadan, I get a burst of activity on my “Pathani suits” post. I don’t know if it’s because people are looking for fashion ideas, or if there is some annual tradition for people of visiting DCIB to drool over celebrities in Pathani suits while waiting for Iftar. Anyway, this seems like another fun bracket thing for us to do! Also, since I’ve gotten scolded before for fashion posts, I am aware that some of my picks may not fit the full definition of “Pathani” because it’s kind of hard to pin that down. But this is as close as I can come!
