Saawariya This weekend I finally saw Saawariya. Back in November 2007 I was extremely excited to view this movie. Usually I enjoy Sanjay Leela Bhansali's films. He has a knack for creating interesting grey characters and has a penchant for dark drama and romance...

Dane County Fair Who does not love fairs. The carnival rides, carnival foods, the shows. I loved fairs in India. We would have one by the station grounds every year and I would go with my gang of school friends. I have not been to a single fair since I moved to the sta...

Re: Re: Super Smash Bros Brawl Mostly a fighting game. I should have used the term 'stages' instead of level. Stages is just the arena you fight in. Each arena is different. There are two modes Group and Solo. In group up to 4 players can battle each other in brawl, you can set up a...
Cheeni Kum Last weekend we rented one of the recent Bollywood movies, Cheeni Kum. The plotline was unlike any other conventional Bollywood romance. Challenging Indian social norms the movie portrays a love story between a 64 year old man and a 34 year old woman. ...
