31 August, 2012
A potentially epic night that DID NOT goI will NEVER forget the night U2 played at the C.N.E in Toronto for the Zooropa tour..... 19 yrs old and their #1 fan (by my own calculations) I was STOKED to go see them and my boyfriend, friend and I set out for Toronto excited as anything to see Bono and the boys. Anyone who knows the Canadian Exhibition, knows they have a midway as well as the concert venue and I purposely avoided the midway and arrived in time to have a beer and attend the show. WELL..... on my way to the show we're passing the Polar Bear Express ride, which, goes very quickly backwards while playing loud music and what do I hear but "The Fly"......needless to say I begin shouting what I always say when I hear a U2 song...... "Hark, I hear angels....." and off we go to quickly purchase ride tickets and go on the ride. Well...... about halfway through the ridge the lighting falls down and BAM on my head and BAM on my arm and BAM on my head again..... They finally get the ride stopped and get the 3 of us off who had injuries (one injured worse then me and one not as bad). I was totally fine. In shock I think now that I look bad - slight concussion and a gaping hole in my arm where the jagged metal ripped into it. Again, totally fine UNTIL the medics said I would be travelling to the hospital for stitches and missing the concert! Then I totally lost my head. I wanted a bandaid and be left to attend the concert. I was horrified and inconsolable as I made my way to St. Michaels in the ambulance for stitches. I'll never forget hearing The Fly from the emergency room and thinking that I should be there. Don't worry too much about me - the park gave me floor seats to the show for the next evening and I proceeded to cry like a baby when the band took the stage and rip most of my stitches out through clapping and enjoying the concert the next night! What a song! What a night and a scar I look at fondly that reminds me of my absolute favourite band in the whole world......26 years and counting!!!
20 June, 2012
so rad!this song make me so happy....

Rev. 8:6 Καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ ἄγγελοι οἱ ἔχοντες τὰς ἑπτὰ σάλπιγγας ἡτοίμασαν αὐτοὺς ἵνα σαλπίσωσιν.
H.B. Swete, R.H. Charles and others including a minority of the "committee" Metxger TextCom 1stEd. prefer the rough breathing on αὐτοὺς. Metzger says "Despite what appears to be Hellenistic usage a minority of the committee strongly prefers the use of the rough breathing on αὐτοὺς."
What is this all about? What does Hellenistic usage refer to in this context?
I found Danker's (3rd Ed) discussion of this p268 under εαυτου 1st paragraph. Also J.H. Moulton vol.2 p181, and Metxger's comments on Phil 3:21 TextCom 1stEd page 615-616. I am somewhat befuddled by the question "what is at stake here?", it seems that there is some contradiction or merely confusion in the different treatments. One treatment is semantic, saying that αὐτοὺς in the Hellenistic period expanded to overlap with the semantic domains of εαυτου. Other treatments seem to be focused simply on orthography (not semantic issues) saying that in some mss at some dates and locations the epsilon in εαυτου was omitted. I am really interested in the semantic issue but you really can not totally divorce the semantic issue from the spelling issue.
Perhaps I have not understood what Danker and others are saying. At first I thought they were claiming that αὐτοὺς had expanded to include reflexive usage overlapping with εαυτου. Now I wonder if that is really the case. Two more places to look, Moule Idioms p119 and Louw & Nida footnote #11 on page 818, §92.37 which I will cut and paste here:Stirling Bartholomew wrote: One treatment is semantic, saying that αὐτοὺς in the Hellenistic period expanded to overlap with the semantic domains of εαυτου. .
Impossible to make sense out of this w/o seeing a b c:11 Note the overlap between αὐτόςb (92.11) and αὐτόςc (92.37). αὐτόςb serves essentially as a reference to the third person, both singular and plural, and only in the nominative form does it carry emphasis. This could very well be classified as an instance of αὐτόςc. In the oblique cases there is no such emphasis. On the other hand, αὐτόςc may be an adjunct to any lexical item in an oblique case and, as such, carries emphasis.
I am still somewhat less than perfectly clear about this. Particularly the semantic impact of reflexive pronoun vs non-reflexive. I suspect it would involve a change of referent from the trumpets to the Angels:58.31 αὐτός a, ή, ό (occurring with the article): pertaining to that which is identical to something — 'same.' προσηύξατο τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον εἰπών 'he prayed, saying the same thing' Mk 14:39; οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ τελῶναι τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσιν; 'do not even the tax collectors do the same thing?' Mt 5:46.
92.11 αὐτός b, ή, ό: a reference to a definite person or persons spoken or written about (with an added feature of emphasis in the nominative forms) — 'he, him, she, her, it, they, them.' αὐτὸς γὰρ σώσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν 'for he will save his people from their sins' Mt 1:21; καὶ οὗτος μὴν ἕκτος ἐστὶν αὐτῇ τῇ καλουμένῃ στείρᾳ 'and this was the sixth month for her who was called barren' Lk 1:36; αὐτῶν τὴν συνείδησιν 'their conscience' 1Cor 8:12; καὶ κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ παιδίου λέγει αὐτῇ 'and taking the child by the hand, he said to her' Mk 5:41.
92.37 αὐτός c, ή, ό: a marker of emphasis by calling attention to the distinctiveness of the lexical item with which it occurs (used for all persons, genders, and numbers) — '-self, -selves' (for example, myself, yourself, yourselves, ourselves, himself, herself, itself, themselves).11 πέπεισμαι δέ, ἀδελφοί μου, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐγὼ περὶ ὑμῶν 'my fellow believers, I myself am persuaded concerning you' Ro 15:14; αὐτὸς Δαυὶδ εἶπεν ἐν τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἁγίῳ 'David himself spoke by means of the Holy Spirit' Mk 12:36.
NKJV Rev. 8:6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. based on the Maj/TR Reading ητοιμασαν εαυτους ινα σαλπισωσιν.
NRSV Rev. 8:6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets made ready to blow them. NA27 ἡτοίμασαν αὐτοὺς ἵνα σαλπίσωσιν
Now my question is, which breathing of αυτους lies behind the NRSV? I am assuming that it is the smooth breathing?

You'll have to forgive me for including some non-food related posts on to this little blog, but some of my most recent food making attempts have turned out less than stellar.
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, the nursery was under way, but things were still far from done and nothing had been photographed. Well, it's still not completely finished, but I did manage to snap a few select shots last night. These are more or less just the accessories, but honestly, these are my favorite features of Baby O's soon to be room.
These owls are honestly just about the sweetest things I've ever seen. I made the decision to include owls a while back…not really sure how or why owls became a pseudo theme for the room, but they did. And these little fellas make me realize I made the right choice.
These little guys were handmade by a very dear friend.
The raindrop print I found in another nursery online and I instantly became obsessed. I made a rainy day mobile to complement the print, but it's not hanging so you'll have to trust me when I say it's cute. And did I mention, handmade? By me? I know. Nuts, right?
And lastly, the family photos. I wanted our little guy to be surrounded by the people who will love him most in the world…and yes, that includes our dogs, or rather, the puppy versions of Libby and Justice. The photos took up a ton of wall space, but I couldn't be happier with the finished product.
Now, just a few more weeks until Baby O will officially be here – hopefully loving this room as much as we do.

When we go back far enough in our genealogy and family history research, most of us will find ancestors — women and men — who labored as farmers. This Labor Day column explores a number of the diverse occupations followed by my ancestors, some quite surprising when I first learned of them. America is indeed the land of opportunity as seen in the changing careers down the generations.
My ancestor Caleb Church and his wife Hannah Baker lived in New Paltz, Ulster County, New York, where he was a farmer and cooper and she was a wife, mother of 10 and a Quaker preacher. Hannah, who lived from 1775 to 1843, is one of the first women in my family tree with a career that took her outside the home. Caleb also was his own lawyer, according to Descendants of Richard Church of Plymouth, Mass.
Their son Benjamin F. Church, my ancestor, went west to Chicago and then in 1835 to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was a pioneer carpenter and builder. He was the "boss carpenter" for one of the first hotels in the nascent city and his Greek revival family home has been preserved as the Benjamin Church House or Kilbourntown House, a museum of pioneer life in southeast Wisconsin.
My Bruce ancestors, surname orginally Bruss, came to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1839 from the Baltic port city of Cammin, Kreis Cammin, Pomerania. The traditional male occupation was ship building and ship caulking, with the young men sailors until they married and settled down. Martin Friedrich Bruss and his sons Augustus, Martin and John all followed the family tradition, the first two in Milwaukee, son Martin near Pensacola, Florida, and John in San Francisco.
By the next generation, the sons of Augustus Bruce had careers in publishing (William George Bruce), tanning company executive (Albert J. Bruce), postal delivery (Augustus I. Bruce), and accounting and later Milwaukee Athletic Club secretary (Martin P. Bruce). The daughter of Martin P. Bruce and his wife Grace Booth Bruce was a teacher while their son was an attorney, both in Milwaukee.
An entrepreneurial tradition is found in my Bradley ancestors, starting with Aaron Bradley who enlisted twice during the Revolutionary War, then married Lorain Abernethy and two sons, two daughters and several different businesses. He was a blacksmith first, then added a tavern and grocery store at his location in Bradleyville or Bantam, Town of Litchfield, Litchfield County, Connecticut. I imagine it was a very busy place with farmers bringing oxen and horses for shoeing or tea kettles needing new bails or handles; travellers on the post road stopping for a meal and a drink; and students from Sarah Pierce's Litchfield Female Academy and from the Litchfield law school coming to Mr. Bradley's for a bit of entertainment. He also had a nail factory, Aron Bradley & Co., as shown by a 1798 ad, and was a selectman and a representative to the Connecticut Assembly.
Aaron's great-grandson Sherman Abernethy Bradley came to Milwaukee in the late 1850s, appearing in public records first in the 1857-1858 Milwaukee Directory, listed as a carpenter. He later launched the Badger Pump Company of which he was the proprietor, pumps in those days made of wood. Then for a time he was co-owner of the Brockhaus & Bradley planing mill, and continued in the timber and lumber business throughout his life. One of Sherman's grandsons was a banker and while his two great-grandsons had fine careers, one as an attorney and the other as an executive of the Wisconsin Telephone Company. Two of his great-great-granddaughters have had careers in public relations.
My Hachez ancestors came to New Holstein, Wisconsin, in 1854 from Bremen, Germany, where men of the Hachez family had been merchants for several generations. Even today the Hachez chocolate factory is an important feature of the City of Bremen. Ferdinand Hermann Hachez at first pursued farming as that was the natural occupation in New Holstein, a rural area between Lake Winnebago and Lake Michigan. He served as president of the German Agricultural Society there in 1867.
However, in 1870, Ferdinand Hachez Sr. and several other New Holstein men founded the Mutual Hail Insurance Company of Wisconsin and he became an insurance salesman. His son Ferdinand Hachez saw an opportunity when the railroad came to New Holstein in 1872. He left farming and for two decades operated the Farmer's and Mechanics Saloon at the east end of the village of New Holstein, not far from the railroad station. Later, when grandchildren were born, he and wife Elise Boie Hachez returned to farming.
I found it fascinating to realize that some of my ancestors truly were "builders of Milwaukee," my hometown. Many more stories of ancestors' occupations await next year's Labor Day for the telling. Until then:

Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), Peepli Live (2010), Karthik Calling Karthik (2010), and Break Ke Baad (2010)
Responsible for getting me out of the Bollywood movie-watching funk I fell into for a couple months was none other than the classic that only continues to 'handsomely' stand the test of time. Saw this on the phone via Rajshri's official YouTube channel at this link, and split viewing sessions across a courthouse and an airport. Lesson learned (again!): Screen size doesn't matter much when content is absorbing. And few could make it as absorbing as Bhagyashree and Salman Khan (budding style icon at the time) do in this film.
Q: For those of you who like the movie – and I'm guessing there are many of you out there who do – which are your favorite scenes/moments/songs?
Sure, "I love you" playing in the background score in what seems to be an infinite loop sounds corny in the twenty-first century. And sure, the songs aren't all original. (That's one major complaint with the film.) Yet, there's a lot about this movie that makes one admire it, its cast, the industry it stems from, and perhaps even the mere notion of love. Salman's big film is tough to beat. Truth is, I've always liked it more than the coming out parties of the other big Khans Aamir and Shah Rukh, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge (1994). (Sorry Juhi Chawla, who just joined Twitter at this link, by the way.)
If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for? Stop whatever it is you're doing right now (but do come back to comment ;) and go see it for free at the producer's official YouTube channel, with subtitles. It's an all-time Bollywood biggie for good reason.
Movie rating: 5/5 (Of course! Really like the maturation of the couple's love over time -- no shortcuts, always respectable. Way to go!)
Music rating: 4/5 -- At least two major instances of plagiarism mar a fun and iconic soundtrack. My favorites are both versions of Dil Deewaana, especially the second. The antakshari song made the game more mainstream than anything else. And my girlfriend while in second grade can vouch for my being pretty good at Salman's sax theme (46 seconds into this YouTube clip) on the harmonica!
My classification: PG (Gun use is inevitable, however.)
Also see: The MPK page at Hmong Chick's Hindi cinema blog
And finally: How 'bout this for a favorite tweet?! :D
An Aamir Khan Productions film first screened at Sundance Film Festival -- visit this guest post for a detailed review from Sundance -- this came available on DVD and Netflix (streaming included, at least in the U.S.) recently.
There's much to like about it: Nice script; Beautiful cinematography and art direction; Brilliant performances by some top-notch acting talent (give me performances by Lagaan (2001) and Meenaxi (2001) alumnus Raghuvir Yadav and Naseeruddin Shah -- if only a cameo -- any day; but really everyone in this is great); and most of all, accurate metaphors for a lot that is wrong with bureaucracy that plagues nations, specifically in India, of course.
Commentary on everything from bad husbands and mothers-in-law to dastardly politicians, agriculturalist societies, industrialism, capitalism, consumerism, hawkish journalism, bounty hunting, and apathy, is of the quintessence. I tend to think of it as almost a mockumentary on the Indian media circus, using the unfortunate and heartbreaking farmer suicide issue as the backdrop. I didn't laugh much through this 'dark comedy'. It even has a peculiar climax, which I hope wasn't intended to make us laugh with dramatization and loudness best-exhibited by any standard Akshay Kumar movie. The fit of such an effort, its outcome, and the many directions this film stretches out into (which, it can be argued, is inherent in any depiction of a circus), are my only complaints.
Movie rating: 4/5 – Although it's clearly not in the same league, the inspirational elements to it might well be the likes of Naya Daur (1954), Mother India (1957), Lagaan (2001), and Swades (2004). For the mere mention alongside these other films, I think this is well worth a watch.
Music rating: 3 without the integration, 4 with (and with is what counts!).
My classification: R (for language, some plot devices)
This psych thriller starring Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padukone would be among any top-five for any 2010 list I'd create. A decent script, an overall yuppie feel to go with a yuppie-themed plot, splendid dialogue, and a soundtrack that gives me my favorite pure pop Bollywood hit of the year (that'd be "Hey Ya" – sample it at this YouTube link).
I am often intentionally guilty of trying hard not to predict outcomes (films are more fun that way, I think), and didn't have any issues being manipulated by Karthik Calling Karthik. From a corporate professional's standpoint, one can see how the introvertedness is in line with Karthik's compositional makeup – brilliant but shy, with lots of potential but a hidden fear to exploit it. I am not qualified to comment on the psychological professional (Shefali Shah, reliable as always), but one would hope she'd have figured things out much earlier.
On a positive note, if you've been following me on Twitter, you know about my "Deepikappreciation" tendencies. Ms. Padukone in this only cements her place among my top three (active) favorites. Sweet.
Movie rating: 3.75/5 - It's far from perfect, but has a fun first half and a more than watchable second for Farhan's performance.
Music rating: 3.75/5 (Very good, "Hey Ya", "Uff Teri Ada", and its theme are hand-in-glove fits throughout, as is the background score)
My classification: PG-13 (Psych thrillers and attempted violence, some language)
Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone (again!) star in an average romantic drama which lives up to the not-so-high expectations it sets from the very beginning of its supply chain. The music (Vishal-Shekhar) is pleasant. The performances (look out for Sharmila Tagore and Shahana Goswami) are sincere. The cinematography and humor work for the most part. Yet, it's obvious something is missing, and it's pretty easy to narrow down the culprit to the script. Not surprising in retrospect, since Break Ke Baad was produced by Kunal Kohli, who was involved in writing Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (2008), Fanaa (2006), Hum Tum (2004), and Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (2002)
It's a decent 'timepass picture', and therein lies its value. Of course, if you're a fan of either lead, you'd want to see it, although I'm afraid the trajectory of the early years of Imran's career is starting to resemble his uncle Aamir's, which might not be the best thing. Time to break out of the loverboy routine, dude!
A special shout-out to the unofficial L.A. Bollywood Twitter User Club members who showed up at our viewing event. Next up: Dhobi Ghat releasing January 21, starring Aamir Khan and Prateik Babbar. (Official website: DhobiGhatFilm.com)
Movie rating: 3/5 -- An average, timepass flick.
Music rating: 3.5/5 (Good!)
For Prasoon Joshi's lyrics, Dhoop Ke Makaan and Ajab Leher are the pick of the lot.
My classification: PG-13 (for theme, language, and sexual situations involving a guy named Cyrus)

Nawab! So glad to see you post again. Just yesterday I checked your blog and found nothing new, so happy to see this today. You're right about MPK, it would hold up on a small screen for sure, thought this makes me think how fun it would have been to see it in a theater in its heyday! You also remind me I have yet to see Meenaxi, must get to it.
I agree with your assessment of Peepli Live. I also have not seen KARTHIK CALLING KARTHIK, hard to believe, so I'll move it up in my never ending queue now with this reminder. Maybe I'll get around to BREAK KE BAAD (2010), but I'm not in as much of a hurry for that one. I appreciate reading all your insights into the filums and am so happy to see you back. Life has been at times too busy for blogging and even keeping in touch these days for me as well. Hope things lighten up soon for you. Let's talk soonji!
All the best!
p.s. courthouse? Kya hua?

Thanks Sita-ji! All well, was at the courthouse for jury duty, and I could have worked some while waiting for the judge to show up, but of course, MPK was a much better option. ;)
I wonder if an upcoming film festival will showcase something like MPK. The Indian Film Festivals has shown classics starring Dilip Kumar, Anil Kapoor, and even Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan, perhaps a Sallu-themed festival is due? But nothing would beat it at the theaters in India, agreed on that.
Good luck with Meenaxi, my favorite Tabu film by far! I think you'll like Karthik Calling Karthik too, if you've liked any Emraan Hashmi or SRK psycho film. ;) And you wouldn't be missing much with Break Ke Baad.
It's great to be back blogging again. Thanks for your kind words, and hope to keep up with the mini-reviews.

Perhaps, this is not the right place to comment. But still.. I am a fan of your trasnlation/transliterations of hindi songs. I don't understand hindi that much but I love hearing to songs. Is it possible for you to add songs from Swades. Your translation is the best I've found in web. It is a class apart, seriously. It would be great if you could keep on posting lyrics and translation.
Wishing you a happy new year!!

Welcome back! I sure has been a year up blogging ups and downs for a lot of us! I'm going to try and find the time (nahin, MAKE the time) to watch and blog about more movies...like when I started blogging.
I liked KCK, I even thought Deeps did a pretty decent job in it, and I also went along for the ride, not knowing, or not wanting to guess, the ending. I thought Farhan did an excellent job. For me, he has got subtlety down pat!
I've yet to see the others, but I adore the music from Break ke Baad. As a rom com junkie I will most likely see this, even if it's just a time pass. Most rom coms end up being just that!
Cheers to 2011 being blogtastic!

b: Welcome to the blog, thank you for your kind words, and hope you have a great year too! If I may...how did your love for Hindi songs come about? It's always interesting to hear stories from non-speakers or non-natives about their fandom.
Point noted, I've fallen behind on the lyrics and translation. I think the last soundtrack I really liked overall was to Guzaarish. Of course, the soundtrack to Swades is in a league of its own! Do you have any favorites from Swades?

Shell: Thank you, and "make time" you say! You're absolutely right. It's funny, as I was watching MPK, I was wondering how cool it is that a piece of film or films can mean so much to us. Bolly wins! :)
I must read your thoughts on KCK, I remember seeing one in the feed some time ago. Interesting comment about Farhan, he *is* really good there, and really, in everything he's acted in so far, I think. The rom com junkie in you might like Break Ke Baad, do report back!
Cheers right back at ya for a blogtastic 2011! And as always, thank you for your visit and comment. :)

You have all my sympathies- its hard to make time watch a movie, let along write anything about it! If anything, Im sure my 1st Q will be < 10 posts :). MPK so SO classic. My fav bit are all the songs, especially the bollywood medly of songs somewhere in the middle of the movie. Despite my love for it, I tend to mock this a lot during rewatches- Bhagyashree's pipsqueak voice, the whole insistence of "friends", the "boy"/"girl" caps- it lends itself to so much potential hilarity! Wait- they needed "dog" and "pigeon" caps too- just saying. And Mohnish and Salman were both so cute! I liked Karthik too, except for the major flaw you pointed out with the medical bit.

Hi there Shweta! They did kinda overdo some of the boy/girl caps and such, true. Perhaps it was just a product of the era in which Archie's stuff in India had found immense popularity among the youth, do you think? Heck, I even had a 'Friend' cap that I had to order from a hat store in Colaba which had sold out of them. Sadly, I lost it during some move. :(
Speaking of Salman...I still dig that jacket from his introductory sequence. Stuff of legends! (Like that jazz tune -- guy redefines cool.)

If I may...how did your love for Hindi songs come about?
Regarding this specific question : I am in India!! How can i miss out the wonderful things happening in Bollywood. And specifically, music connected me. There are a huge list of beautiful songs out there and its so good to hear in musical form. Although I do not understand most or all of the lyrics, I love the music and the characters. Swades is one of my favorite movies and I felt really proud that Indian movies are able to produce such class ones. Other movies which impressed me in Hindi are Taare Zameen Par, Rang De Basanti, Delhi 6, Jodha akbar, Lagaan, Kaminey etc.,
And this is not the first time I am commenting on your blog, I have done it a few years before too!
Keep blogging!!!

Hello tBF! Nice to have you blogging again. A very happy new year to you and all of you reading this.
I just watched KCK last week - it was on TV and quite liked it. I sort of guessed the outcome though... not everything but still his psychological condition.
Guess what? I've been to India to attend a wedding! Spent three weeks there - obviously not enough to "see" India. I left Mauritius on the day 'Break ke Baad' was coming out here and was hoping to see it in India. Tried to convince my friends there to go watch it as it was filmed in Mauritius. Had no success though - no one seemed interested in going to theaters! I ended up watching it here when I came back - with subtitles! I was told that the films are not shown with subtitles in India. Is that true?
Anyway, any one of you liked the setting (Mauritius) in the film??!
My biggest disappointment about my trip to India is that I did not meet Aamir!!!

really love your blog and glad to see you posting! I discovered your blog while looking for reviews of Hindi movies a few months back and reference it often. The world of Bollywood is relatively new to me and our entire family is now hooked (to include an 8 yr old girl who says SRK is her "FAVORITE" actor). Thanks much for sharing your passion and knowledge!

Happy New Year 2011 TBF!
MPK was an all time hit. Liked it (when it released) for songs and overall flow. Must admit have never liked any other suraj bharjatiya film that followed.
Peepli Live is on my next towatch list.
I liked Once Upon a Time in Mumbai.
Saw Dabangg last night - okay to watch once on DVD with fwd button ready to by pass the violence. Some of the UP scenes and references are authentic - like the rickshaw in one of the songs and the lingo. Otherwise Salman's role seems to be a caricature.

Fav song/scene/moments from MPK ?! Man, just anything about the movie. Even that 'I love you' - the other day I shared that ringtone to sitaji [and sorry i forgot] but maybe @amaluu. So addictive is. Favorite scenes I instantly get in my mind are - 'dosti mein no sorry no thank you' and ' I love, what?' - followed by that great sax theme. Oh, and the whole 'main ladki hoon, tum ladke ho..' sequence. Unfavorite scene- the party at Mohnish' place. :(
I did not mind songs [plagiarised], may be it was intended to target the youth that was getting into western groove those days, who were deprived of good movies. [the ugly 80s you know]. And though copied tune by tune, still immortal they are. Credit - SPB and Lataji. For 'dil deewana'- I like SPB's version more.
Agree it stands ahead when comparisons arise with QSQT and the likes. I love it more than just any movie I watched in childhood. And that tweet reminds me of a shot from the song 'ice cubes falling in glasses full of Thums Up' Remember?
Well, you already know how I felt for Peepli Live. Perfect movie it is. Love the title sequence with the song ' des mera rangrez'.
And KCK - Loved it too. Farhan in a movie is always a fresh change. I did not mind the thin line of thriller. And Deepika seemed OKish to me, later on, she impressed me with her work in BKB. Loved her performance in the movie, more than Imran's. [and, man, she looks wow!!]

b in India! So sorry I completely missed it, lol. That's what being away for a few months can do, I guess. A. R. Rahman (who's provided soundtracks to four of the six other films you mentioned) is a great ambassador of Indian film sound. Keep enjoying the films! Cheers!

Hannah! Great to hear from you, and wow, you went to India, very cool! Hope you had a pleasant and memorable time!
I'm pretty horrible at predicting outcomes, so even if I tried to guess for KCK for example, I'd probably be wrong :D
Yes, Break Ke Baad seemed to garner no interest in theaters here as well. (Perhaps rightfully so.) Absolutely *loved* the setting, though!
You heard right about the lack of subtitles in theaters in India, at least the overwhelming majority, if not 100% of them, do not provide subtitles.
Until next time. Again, have a great 2011!

Hi Amy! Thanks so much for your visit and comment! I'll look to check out your blog in more detail, soon. In the mean time, I really like what you say here:
It might be an acquired taste for the western palate but that doesn't mean it's not world class.
Very right! Hope you and your family find much continued enjoyment and wholesome entertainment from Bollywood. Do come again, and thank you once again for your kind words!

Filmbuff: Thank you! The songs to MPK were such a rage back in the day, it's funny to listen to them now. Funny because we inherently seem to be able to identify life events with the films of the specific points in time. So what was going on in your life when MPK released? :) I know it was played over and over again while at a cousin's summer wedding!
Hope you enjoy Peepli Live. Glad you liked Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai. I saw Dabangg earlier in the week, hoping to make it part of my next post. ;) Teaser: I quite enjoyed it!

- theBollywoodFan said...
Darshit! Thanks for your comment and for sharing your favorite bits. Agree with all of them, except that I liked the scene at Mohnish's place too, because that's where we meet the pigeon named Handsome, and that's where Salman must dishoom dishoom his way to Bhagyashree's dil! (Salman was made for dishoom dishoom!)
Good point about the music, I swear it felt like every kid had a cassette with songs by the band Europe (were they called, right?) who had the song 'The Final Countdown', inspiration for 'Mere Rang Mein'.
I missed the reference to ice cubes and Thums Up. Help!
You know, I liked Deepika Padukone more in KCK, actually. But she's won me over since Love Aaj Kal. Have you seen Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se yet?
Thanks again man. Until next time.

Hi TBF
Haven't seen Peepli Live yet (saw some snatches earlier at my sis's place and was impressed). Friends dropping in and preferring to see old AB hits is the reason Peepli is getting delayed at my end. A no of other recent movies are also lying n my To Watch pile!
I was in the initial stages of my Phd program overseas when MPK released in India and became a big hit. I could experience its influence when I went to India in 1990 for my field work for my dissertation - spent 6 months overall in various parts of the country. MPK songs used to blare from every corner, every chai or pan shop. All the shopkeepers esp in clothes stores were busy selling MPK dresses (esp the white salwar kurta with a big pink/black rose embroidered) as well as the Friends caps. Gosh one could never miss its wide scale impacts. Salman impressed me in his first film Bhagi, MPK and in KKHH. Not so much after that. Although I continue to see his films, I wouldn't rate him as my fav actor or something.

no KKJHS yet. But want to see it.
Thums up? when Sallu receives letter from Kabootar [Handsome], and the style bhai ka different shots !! watch again yaar.

Hi Filmbuff: Fieldwork across India for a Ph.D. dissertation sounds like much fun! Really interesting to know you heard the MPK songs most places you went. Plus the influence on fashion, as you note. Probably not a good question here, but did you take any pictures during your fieldwork that might be relevant to this discussion? (In case you studied Anthropology or the like :)
Salman's sustained (or I should say increasing, really) popularity through a string of unsuccessful movies in the 2000s will always be the biggest mystery to me.
Do report back once you get to Peepli Live! Happy movie-watching. And thank you again for your visit and comment.

Hi TBF
My Phd was on Water & Energy - although I did take lots of pics with ref to my research work, sadly I did not take any of the MPK influence (didn't strike me). Another movie that had a very strong social influence in all places was "Chandini". I must admit I got sick of chandin songs by the time I finsihed my field work! I hadn't seen the movie then, so couldn't understand why they were so popular. I saw Chadini about 10 yrs later!
Salman has got an earthy appeal and he is phenonomenally popular in India esp among guys - may be all that muscle and "macho" image - who knows?
I enjoyed Peepli Live - a brilliant satire and I would give it 4/5. The main actor who played Natha is a rare find ie is a true natural actor. I am particularly happy that it is made by a woman director and I hope Anusha Rizvi comes up with further goodies.
Nobdoy Killed Jessica is also good a movie. Pls see my comments on Darshit's blog.
- Wednesday, January 12, 2011
- theBollywoodFan said...
Hi again, Filmbuff: I haven't seen 'Chandni' since I first saw it back then, and do wonder how it's aged. I'm not sure I remember much of it, admittedly. With you on getting sick of those songs. Chandni, and Aashiqui, also from around the same time, for crying out loud! :D
I think Salman has amazing screen presence no matter if in a film, probably even better than SRK or Aamir outside at least. There are few who can take a soundtrack/movie like Dabangg and turn it into something above average. Yes, I think for me as a kid growing up in India, he always had the 'cool' factor. He comes across as more real than most celebs, plus, the original, mainstream bodybuilder image must count for something, I guess. :) Despite all this, that he is able to overcome relatively fewer hits to his credit over the last 10 years is saying something.
So you saw Peepli Live! Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely a great debut for Anusha Rizvi, hope she keeps up, yes.
Will head over to Darshit's for your comment on NOKJ. Thanks again! Cheers.

Oh nooo, should I feel like a failed Bollywood fan if I have never seen, nor planning to ever see MPK??? *sniffle sniffle* Oh, the 90's style of film making... I just can't deal with it :( It's funny how the 90s managed to spread their tentacles in both directions: the 80s and way into the new century, it's almost a miracle they ever went away! :D
I do try to make up for it by being on top of all the new stuff :) so I saw the other three you mentioned. And really only writing to add to the love for Hey Ya! I was so addicted to it for months! Such a good song! The whole soundtrack of KCK was exactly what I like about the new wave of filmi music: it's modern but it retains that melodious charm that made me love it in the first place.
And my God, let's hope Imran *doesn't* follow his mamu's pattern, or we'll be stuck watching mediocre movies with him for the next 5 years at least, I couldn't bear that! I have moderate hopes with Delhi Belly, but really I am hoping more that he wakes up and smells the coffee and looks at where the other guys in his generation are and what they've done and steps it up. Don't get me wrong, I loved him in IHLS (it's of little importance that the movie overall was fairly bad) and Break ke Baad, which I found better as a film, but this cannot possibly be the best he can do! :-/ Farhan with only 3 movies as an actor (and why doesn't he make many many more????) is faaar ahead of him...
And before I go, on the topic of Deepikappreciation (LOL): have you seen Lafangey Parindey? It's an unusual role for her and I quite liked her in it.
Toodles for now and welcome back! Here's to many new posts in 2011! :D

Hey there! (Or should that be hey ya! :) Yes, you ought to feel like a failed Bollywood fan (just a little, LOL) for not seeing MPK. Okay, just kidding of course. :D
I know what you mean about the 1990s, that's when I stopped watching Hindi movies for a few years, especially between 1995 and 2001. Yet, I think you might find MPK to be different. Especially if you like love stories and romance/drama, at least that's what I'd bet in favor of.
Like your point about the KCK soundtrack, I think it extends to the film as well. I like how slick it all was.
Well, if not five mediocre years, at least close to two. Since Delhi Belly is an Aamir Khan Productions product, I'll trust it to be Imran's second big hit. Farhan *is* far ahead, but he's been around Bollywood much longer, I'm sure all that experience as director must've contributed significantly to his acting career as well, although he's no slouch in the acting department either, just look at his body of work already: Rock On, Luck By Chance, Karthik Calling Karthik...Don and Dil Chahta Hai as director. He's used to delivering good stuff as much as anyone else out there.
No, haven't seen Lafangey Parindey, and thanks for that recommendation, I'll definitely look forward to it and even Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se! Can I just coin the term Deepikappreciation? :)
Thank you for your visit and comment, and yes, I hope to be blogging a bit more in 2011! See ya!

Oh I ADORE MPK!!! I could watch it a million times over and never get sick of it. Favorite scenes are difficult to narrow down - I love Sallu's intro and first scene w/ Bhagyashree "Madam, aaj kal darwaze pe knock karke aana ka zamana mein nahin raha" "Sir, aaj kal darwaze ko lock karke rakhna ka bhi zamana mein nahin raha", the Antakshri, Smoking is Injurious to health, Seema and the Shayari by Manohar Bhaiyya, "Ladkiyan hoti hai aisi ... pagal!" and so much more! And seriously, I love the title song which is often forgotten - it's a great song!!!
Also - I liked Break Ke Baad. It wasn't anything spectacularly new or groundbreaking, but it was fun and engaging enough.
I'll say one thing for Deepika - she is so stunningly beautiful that I'll watch a movie with her in it just for the aesthetic pleasure of watching her. I don't find her to be a tremendously talented actress, but she has lovely eyes and they are very expressive. :-)

- theBollywoodFan said...
Amaluu! Welcome to the blog! Thank you for your visit and comment. Agreed with everything you've said. I think MPK must be the one film whose every character we have some sort of affiliation with, if only by remembering their names, what with distinct and memorable characters like Manohar and Seema around! Liked Salman's intro (I'll sound redundant here...but that jacket!), and Manohar in Papa's room trying to steal a cigarette. "Priya Papa-ji," Then, "Papa-ji nahin, Mama-ji!" Oh, and that bit of his shayari to Seema with "Khush-nasib hain woh chuhey, jinhone..." :D
We agree on Break Ke Baad, then. Deepika's great, I remember thinking during Om Shanti Om (2007) that she was a good actress, but I wonder how much of that had to do with having a good actor (SRK in that case, of course) opposite her. Thought she did well in Love Aaj Kal (2009) as well.
Thank you again, and do visit again. :) Cheers!

Every mother-to-be needs prenatal care. Prenatal care is the regular healthcare you will receive during pregnancy from your doctor, midwife, or other healthcare professional. Prenatal care should begin as early as possible, ideally even before you become pregnant. You may hear this called a preconception visit. At this visit, your doctor will talk about any chronic medical problems and medications. Additional testing may be recommended. Your doctor will discuss your weight gain and exercise. You will also learn about nutrition, which will likely including taking prenatal vitamins and folic acid.
The goal of prenatal care is to monitor the progress of your pregnancy and check for any problems that may occur. Women who get prenatal care have healthier babies and are less likely to have pregnancy-related problems.
Routine Prenatal Care: Your First Pregnancy Visit
You should call to schedule a prenatal visit with your doctor as soon as you realize you are pregnant. After speaking with you, the doctor's office may suggest seeing you soon, or may suggest a first visit around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period.
This first visit will include a physical examination. You will be weighed and have your blood pressure checked. You will also have a pelvic exam, and a Pap smear to check for cervical cancer and infections. You will provide blood and urine samples for a variety of tests, including tests for infections and anemia.
Your due date will be estimated. You will be advised to start taking prenatal vitamins and folic acid, if you are not already taking them.
Routine Prenatal Care: Subsequent Visits
After your first prenatal visit, you will schedule 1 prenatal visit every 4 weeks until about 28 weeks in your pregnancy. During weeks 28-36, you will schedule visits about every 2-3 weeks. After week 36, you will probably see your doctor every week. Sometimes, there are alternate visits with a clinical provider and with a nurse. The visits are more frequent if you have a high-risk pregnancy.
At these visits, your doctor will weigh you, check your blood pressure, measure and feel your growing abdomen, and check for swelling. After week 12, your doctor will listen to your baby's heartbeat. You will also have blood tests, urine tests, and ultrasounds. A screening for gestational diabetes will be done in the second trimester. A screening for group B streptococcal disease will be done at 35-27 weeks.
At each prenatal visit, you should discuss any questions or concerns you have with your doctor.
Prenatal Diagnostic and Screening Tests
The following table describes the most common prenatal tests used to monitor your pregnancy and identify problems.

It's time to chuck de Kaushik and Hockey India…
" Do you have sex?" asked the veteran hockey coach of India's women's team. The startled and scared female player at the receiving end of this obnoxious question was stunned into silence. Poet Anasuya Dutt had captured the emotional trauma of women caught in this particular player's unfortunate position most evocatively when she wrote, " In too many countries, too many women speak the same language – of silence." Collective silence it was that protected Maharaj Kumar Kaushik, the disgraced coach ,for years. But last week he was forced to step down, after top player Ranjita Kumar broke that awful silence and accused him of sexual harassment . Her letter to Narendra Batra, the secretary of Hockey India was signed by 31 members, who are standing by the oppressed athlete. Three key allegations have been made against this arrogant man who must have been counting on the clout of his undeserved but exalted position to see him through the mess. More than even that, he must have been counting on silence. Women in traditional societies have silence as their best friend – it is their only succour and refuge. "Hold your tongue, woman!" is a phrase that young women hear over and over again while growing up…. no matter what the provocation. Incest, rape, molestation…her instructions are clear – shut up and put up.
Ranjita would have ended up as yet another victim of this man's ungentlemanly conduct, had an anonymous letter about his despicable language not made its way to officials. A letter that mentioned Ranjita by name. It was the only way to nail the guy. Confronted and cornered, he did what countless men in positions of power ( limited or otherwise) do , he tried to turn the tables on the women he had tormented by accusing them of using this tactic to get even with him. Why? Because they were dropped from the team for not being good enough. It's an old and familiar trick adopted by rakes the world over – blame the woman, make her badnaam, disgrace her in front of family and friends, shred her reputation, ruin her future. It's easy – she is a soft target. She has everything to lose. Most times, the man has nothing at stake – not even his reputation or job. After all, even his superiors would understand – he's a man. These things happen. And as Kaushik demonstrated over the years, a man can and does get away with vulgar, offensive, sexually charged statements. Kaushik allegedly declared during his team's tour to New Zealand in 2003, " Anyone interested in sex, can come to me." It's an allegation he vehemently rubbishes. Instead, he whines about this being a nasty campaign to malign his 'good name', because he didn't allow players to use mobile phones! Aha – now we know the real villain of the piece – it's the banned mobile phone!
There are thousands of Kaushiks running around the world nonchalantly . Some time ago, we had a phony 'Godman' called Swami Nityananda whose pornographic sex tapes with a Tamil heroine, cut short his meteoric rise to the top of the spiritual merchandising rankings. Today, this man has brazenly and shamelessly turned the scandal around to boast, " The internet has twice experienced major jams due to traffic. One was following the death of Michael Jackson. Second was following my sex tape." How's that for aggressive marketing in the God Bazaar ? Kaushik's videographer Basavaraja is in an even murkier spot - there's video footage of him with multiple sex workers. The worst that can happen to these men is already over – Basavaraja is suspended, and Kaushik has resigned. But what can be done to resurrect the hockey dreams of players like Helen Mary (former captain and goal keeper) whose brilliant career was cut short when she dared to complain about Kaushik ( who was reportedly having an affair with the team's manager, Anurita Saini )? It was Saini who paid the price after the expose and lost her job. Kaushik's minders in high places, let him hang on to his. Isn't that how it goes? The absurdity is further compounded today, when officials point out piously that Kaushik hasn't exactly forced himself on anyone so far. He has merely indulged in lewd talk. And that, dear people, is not considered offensive enough to punish him! Talk like, " It's good if you like sex… I am available twenty four hours." In an angry statement, members of the hockey team are raising valid questions : " You say he hasn't got physical…we ask, do you want us to wait till he gets physical?"
Unfortunately, we lack the will to pursue sexual harassment cases in India. They are just not considered 'serious' enough. Authorities, even the police, point out that in a country where the aam aadmi faces far more life threatening issues on a daily basis, what's a little 'masti' between the sexes? It's all harmless fun!! No sir, it isn't. For every Kaushik and Basavaraja who finally get caught for propositioning and demeaning women who they think are in no position to hit back, there are countless others who never pay for their crimes.Society has to wait for the rare Ranjitha Devis and Helen Marys who boldly break that conspiracy of silence and speak up. Most times, their courage comes with a huge price tag. Men will always try to exploit this collective silence , but even those complacent men sometimes go wrong in their calculations.It only happens when almost miraculously, a few extraordinary women rediscover the power of their own larynxes That's when their stifled- for- centuries voices do – and must - get heard .
What we need is greater amplification. Pump up the volume, ladies.
We know for sure what isn't cricket. Now we also know what isn't hockey!
Chuck de Kaushik !
