Bollywood Night returns to The Tank...
first off, i just want to say that i'm disappointed with India in the miss universe pageant tonight. come on!!! i won't get too far into details (that and i wasn't paying that much attention to it), but rest assured sarah and i had a decent discussion about this over the phone during the event, and double, james and i also discussed this, amongst other countries...including how dumb miss USA was when she would answer questions. ah well, at least lara dutta won for the subcontinent not so long ago.
anyway, from the title of this entry you may be saying "well fish guy, according to your posts for the past couple months, hasn't EVERY night been bollywood night at The Tank????" you would be justified in asking this question, but i'm not necessarily referring to just MY bollywood movie viewing. this is somewhat a case of the master & the learner have the roles somewhat reversed...a la vader vs obi-wan in star wars (love to use that reference for some reason). anyway, my archnemesis Rakhi has returned to A2(maybe that should be former archnemesis, i like to think we all get along decently now), and a bollywood movie get together has once again been organized. as evidenced by the phone convo today there will probably be an extended conversation discussing recently viewed hindi movies since i was but a learner when 'she left me at the indian store' in early may (rakhi said that in and of itself sounds like a cheesy bollywood movie title), but have now seen quite a few movies and own quite a few as well.
either way, i am looking forward to it. as i have said before, it started last fall over a debate whether bride & prejudice was really a true indian movie (apparently it's not, and i guess i have come to agree with that) and the subsequent introduction to 'hum tum', followed by 'kal ho naa ho' and 'main hoon na' (the latter of which is probably my overall favorite hindi movie to this point). it was all downhill from there, and as i moved into discussion of these movies with other friends things snowballed and resulted in the monster here today.
anyway, i gotta get to bed. should be a lot of fun as we're planning on getting a movie that i haven't seen before, but quite possibly that no one else in the group will have seen before either. all i have to do is make it through work, and hope my car doesn't catch on fire...but that last part is another story...as is the fact that i actually 'cooked' indian food for the first time in my life tonight. which is why i'm STUFFED right now (yes, surprisingly it was edible). that's all for now kids, good night & good luck <:><

Hi Sol! I can't tear myself away from the books to read your blog (it's been several weeks!) but I just wanted to leave you a message and say hi! Hope things are going well. Come visit us in Cleveland!
