SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

I just found out with no little astonishment that Rahul Bose is in the Indian National Rugby team and represents India. Rugby is one of the roughest sports because it is physical and there is no protective gear. Rahul also is big in social causes and has contributed time and money in Andaman & Nicobar Is aftert the tsunami of 2004. He is an A-grade actor and a director too. Like I said above, life is full of surprises.

Ha!Ha! LOL…maybe it wasn’t nice, but you’re allowed..Rahul in fact said that his teammates call him “pygmy” in jest, because he is only 5′6″, but he has been playing since his early teens and won his selection in the National Team on merit and is well-liked…this guy is multidimensional..oh, and he hasn’t dated anyone, even casually, since Koel Purie, four years ago, says he has no time…and neither does Mallika date anyone…interesting bedfellows (on-screen)….are you not Indian?

Is there a limit on the number of responses?

Sorry for the personal question…you’re Indian in my book, a lot more so than some “Indians” I have come across, who display a weird, dichotomous complex about things Indian. Keep trucking.

Looks like Mallika wanted to be in a movie where she could try a little acting instead of putting on the usual ass and boob show. Their on-screen chemistry is really very good, for an odd couple.

Who else but us Indians would socialize in a weblog about Indian dream merchants? Who else but us would even spend time thinking about them?

Going to visit a monastery [yes, you heard right, a monastery!!] over the weekend. Talk to you soon.

Paris Hilton!@#$%^&…now don’t get me going…I see red. The good-for-nothing, cheap, talentless, ugly, shallow, useless…..

Enlightening.

Um, spamming issues I think…those comments went into spam because you put a URL in them…but then came out…ohkay, lemme fix this. I’ll keep the comment I like best, lol.

I don’t suppose you have a blog, do you Locust?

You’re allowed…now that doesn’t mean you can bloat yourself on sugar every day…just kidding. No, I don’t have a weblog, I am content to comment on yours. Contrary to appearances, I don’t have much to say. Just email me if you want to say something off-line.

One last comment on our dynamic duo, promise…..until the next movie of course. Apparently, the pair have become, like you say, good friends. A report says that whenever they meet on sets, it’s teasing, banter, cajoling….no wonder they “hit it off like a house on fire on-screen” according to a report.

Oh, and Happy Diwali. In case you didn’t see the first post :-). Have a great day and weekend.

It is getting late, so I will just leave a teaser for now. When I get a little time, soon, I want to mention something that relates to a comment you made above. I ampretty sure you will find it interesting.

Why do I think you’re Muslim? Just a general impression from reading your blogs. It isn’t important. What comes thru in your blogs is that you are a human being first, and that’s what is important. Whether by default or because they are inherently so, the Bollywood people we seem to spend so much of our time writing and reading about are also the same. Being actors and actresses thay have big egos and basically worship their common god, money…as so many of us do.

Now on to what I really wanted to write about. You said above, “I am not a follower of the Hum-Tum-esque school of thought….”. I believe you without hesitation. In movies, folklore, books, stories handed down from generation to generation, cultural milieu, etc., romanticism is associated with and ascribed to women. The world’s best-kept secret is that the overwhelming majority of women are not romantic. It is men who are romantic although many may not be willing to show it. I believe that sincerely. Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

My name locustwillow..a locust willow is a type of tree. There are different types of willow trees, weeping willows.. .and locust willows. But I don’t think you get them in the country and continent in which you live.

Am I knowledgeable about Bollywood? That is for you and other people to judge.

I hope you had a Very Happy Diwali. And remember, I want your reactions to the above.

So sorry for the trouble…I assume this is your reply? I found it in spam…stupid wordpress. It’s been screwing around since I updated. Now I have to work out how to de-update it.

Lol, ok you got me. Subtlety wasn’t really my strongest point, so yeah, I am Muslim. Um, your point above is that actors and actresses are also human? Lol, I knew that. Most of them show alot of decency or humanity at times, and you have to admire those ones who don’t lose it completely after becoming rich and “successful”.

I don’t know about being romantic, lol, especially the way it’s portrayed in Indian movies. I think I do believe in love, but concepts such as “Love conquers all” etc kinda escape me. Though I love a romcom or chick-lit book as much as the next person. Guys are romantic? Ohkay, that I didn’t know…you sure you should be telling these secrets of malehood to the enemy? Lol, kidding. and my main point about “Hum Tum-esque school of thought” was that I don’t believe every male and female that become good friends are doomed to fall in love with each other.

I’ve heard of a Locust tree and a Willow tree…didn’t know there was a crossbreed, lol. Oh well, and that’s my new fact I learned for today. My nick just comes from Winnie-the-Pooh (mature, I know ;-)) and his bouncy friend Tigger. Favourite cartoon/books when I was younger.

So far the judgement states that you’re knowledgeable about Bollywood, lol.

Once again, so sorry about the comments. Next time, if it happens again, you don’t have to repost, just tell me and I’ll drag it out of spam.

And the background songs especially Jaane Kya, Pyar Karke (played during the credits) rock. They were on the Indian charts a long time. Also, a modern movie, no songs out of context, and only background songs, no sudden out of context jigging on the part of the actors themselves.

Also, Dil Tor Ke Na Ja. PKSE songs were on the Indian charts for a long time. How did your exams go?

Heard them all, lol, including the remixes. The PKSE songs were all really great (I listened to them so many times!), but I didn’t see why you thought Maula Mere Maula was so brilliant. Maybe I have to listen to it a few more times but I dunno, it was nice but not great. I didn’t see the appeal. Sorry

Exams still going, just one left though, which makes it the hardest to study for. But the others went well, surprisingly, lol. Guess I’ll find out how I really did in a few weeks.

Lol, awwww, thanks so much Locust. You really made my day. And seriously, thanks so much for reading this blog and taking the time to comment on it. It really is so nice and sweet of you to. So, thanks for being…um, yourself? Lol.
