For some reason, I had a sudden craving for kathi rolls, so I found myself here at the Kathi Roll Company . Also found there, really cool retro decor and the poster below:

Ummm... The video is linked off Bloomberg's site , and the article clearly makes a leap from "yeah, thanks for coming Mayor " to "4 more years" but still... ... as a culture/people, when the U.S. President very eloquently acknowledges your holidays and reasonably prominent politicians (or their minions) seek endorsements from your B-list film stars, you have to wonder if this is as mainstream as you want to be. :)

It's been a really long time since I blogged about anything I've read or seen, so this is starting to play catchup. I realized that I got so, so used to seeing Hindi movies that were really bad (after the strike , and then this brain-cell killer which was the big-budget movie that was released after it), that my expectations had been set really low. In general in the past few months, I'd come to believe that if I don't cringe too many times during a movie, and there are at least a couple of things I find amusing, that's really all I have the right to expect. So one really good movie was great, a second really great, and a third left me uncomfortable with my sense of satisfaction; I probably need to reset my expectations from Hindi films again. Love Aaj Kal was incredibly good; well-directed, perfectly cast, incredibly romantic and funny. Even the surprising casting was effective. Life Partner: It was a pretty good Govinda movie and its been a while :); nuff ...

The show is completely unnecessary and often annoying, but I can't help myself. I'm too much of a Bollywood junkie to look away...
