I am beyond the beyond to repost this discerning list composed on Twitter by Beth Watkins, Danny Bowes and Bastard Keith. After Beth found her copy of “Aamir Khan: The Genius,” this list was born. Bobby Deol: The Other One Esha Deol: The Other Other One Jackky Bhagnani: You Know What Just Forget It You […]
I have been subsumed by life’s debris and lost touch with the thing I love most- thinking about Hindi films. Even when I watched something fab I didn’t think I had time to write up anything. It was weighing heavy on my heart, so this is my new thing – the stream of consciousness analysis. […]
In the aftermath of the recent Indian Supreme Court decision over Indian Penal Code section 377, “Imran vs. homophobia” dropped just in time to crack me up! Kudos to Khan and the production team for taking a common comedy trope and making it funny with snappy writing and acting. It’s like an after-school special. Except […]
[Spoilers ahead, and this is a story of spoils.] Dhoom: 3 comes at a perfect time. The storyline couldn’t be more apt. It’s 2013, Chicago, and the bankers are the baddies. They foreclose on your life and give you three days to give them your stuff and move. They don’t care if you have kids. […]

Please come on by and bring a jar if you’d like to take your own fermenting organism away. Bring a jar/cup if you’d like to taste some […]
I participated in a fundraising walk supporting Farm Sanctuary in early October and here’s some pictures from the event, featuring my dog! What a star. Farm Sanctuary rescues factory farmed animals and gives them a life free from fear, while also letting people know just how bad corporate farming is for our health, the environment, […]
Satyagraha – a great movie if you like yelling.
If you were anywhere near what’s affectionately known as the “Bollyverse” within the last few days you’ve no doubt heard that last weekend Shah Rukh Khan, a star who needs no introduction to anyone on this website, was held for over an hour of secondary questioning at the Newark NJ airport on the way to […]
