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 readingI am one of those disgusting people who always wakes up bouncing with energy and happiness. Have been my whole life. Used to drive my parents crazy. Part of this of course is that I wake up singing. “Morning Has Broken” is good, so is “Oh What a Beautiful Morning!” And then there are the Indian options. Let’s see how many we can think of so I can vary my delightful morning seranades!
Continue readingHappy Shahrukh Month! After “favorite movie” yesterday, I’m moving on to “favorite songs” today.
Continue readingThis is gonna be a silly silly post, the only purpose of which is to make me giggle. Don’t get offended! I still totally take documentaries and Indian films seriously, both in their own way!
Continue readingThis is not the best day, largely because I haven’t been able to have coffee yet. And also, a client at work didn’t like me! ME!!! I’m the person they bring in to jolly folks along because everyone always likes me. Anyway, I’m gonna do a stupid songs post as a distraction.
Continue readingJust watched Baar Baar Dekho and talked about how great the wedding song is in that, and then realized he has a bunch of good wedding songs!
Continue readingJust hitting the highlights here! Top three songs that I can think of. And if I missed something, add it in the comments.
Continue readingContinuing my series of “this Shahrukh Day is different from other years” posts. Let’s look at the songs that might help us on this day, in this year.
Continue readingThis seems like a nice question for a rainy Friday. I look forward to your answers! You can’t possibly be wrong, anything is right.
Continue readingIn Chicago right now it is just cold enough to be chilly inside (even with long pants and shirt), but not chilly enough that the landlord legally has to turn on the radiators. Or in other words, “that time of year when you check the city codes to find out if your landlord legally has to turn on the heat yet and are disappointed to learn he doesn’t”. Anyway, instead of putting on a sweater, or having hot tea, or moving away from the windows, I am going to write this post. Because those other things are just too much work.
Continue readingThey are all fun! And two of them feature Amitabh himself.
Continue readingOh boy! This is gonna be hard. Sure, it’s easy to pick the one that goes on top, but how do you order the rest of them?
Continue readingSome of these songs, the rest of the movie has America looking terrible. But it only has the punch because you contrast it with the earlier “America is freedom and happiness and I love it here” beginning.
Continue readingIt is sooooooooooooo hot today. I mentioned we’ve been having hot-rain-hot-rain-hot-rain? Well, today has just been hot-hot-hot-hot! Like, dripping sweat off my eyebrows hot. I think it is time for us to watch some cooling songs.
Continue readingThis is a very old post which hopefully most of you have forgotten about. I forgot about it myself, and then I just now stumbled on it and it delighted me.
Continue readingWoo-hoo! Karan Johar songs! The perfect happy escape. And not an over-whelming number of them either, so I think we can rank them all, don’t you? Especially because I am removing My Name is Khan since I don’t like throwing something that real in with the other stuff, feels disrespectful to victims of hate crimes, you know? So, Karan Johar songs, but with MNIK removed!
Continue reading(interrupted by Rishi, but not canceled! We deserve a happy silly celebration today, don’t we?) There’s no “right” answer for this, that would be impossible. Just in your personal preference, how would you rank the songs?
Continue readingSaying someone is “good at lipsyncing” sounds as silly as an air guitar contest, but it is an actual thing! There is something about being able to sell a song, even if you aren’t the one singing it, and Rishi was truly the master.
Continue readingYou ready for a challenge? I’m gonna pull out every big Varun dance song I can remember, and we have to rank them! Or at least, pick the one you love best (for those of you who don’t care as much).
Continue readingAnother one of those fun research challenges for you. I wanted to do more than this, but I got stumped, so it is up to you to fill in the rest!
Continue readingOh boy! This is such a delightfully varied group of people, I am excited to put all their songs next to each other and see what happens.
Continue readingAnother one of those loosely thematic song posts that you get to add on to in the comments! Such fun!
Continue readingI love these songs! It’s not that the hero is foolish, it’s that he is trying to cheer up the people around him (love interest, small children, etc.) by ACTING foolish. Like a court jester. Which is a movie that is now on Prime by the way, and you should all watch it and share it with your children. For Happiness.
Continue readingAnother fun theme song post! Any song that is aggressively all blue in one shot, and then all red in another. Or all the same color straight through. Not mixed up onscreen, you know? All one thing.
Continue readingSuch fun! And I am loving the enthusiasm you all show in adding on to these theme song posts. Hopefully this one will inspire you just like the others.
