There Will Be Bollywood

Apologies to our readers first and foremost for being to cbf-ed to blog. Let me tell you about my day. Today my friends and I went to the university for O-week! Oh my goodness I am so ridiculously excited. So I walk in and the first thing that I sign is a petition for the Marxism club against the mandatory detention of refugees. Think what you will, but I believe refugees do deserve fair treatment. Well, actually, I was forced to sign it by raging socialists who then asked me whether or not I am left wing. He then proceeded to try and sell me the Socialist Alternative at which point I ran away, citing 'I'm out of money at the moment'. But really, I had $20 to blow on souvlakis.. a much more worthy cause. I made sure I didn't pass that tent again for the whole day. The very first thing I do at university is declare my communism and attend a Study Abroad Exchange Program session, pointing out my interest in studying at Hanoi University.

Other than that, we carried out some serious investigation regarding my ex-physics teacher's Bollywood movie stint. He claims he doesn't remember the name of the film, only that it was made in 2003. Now, I'm pretty sure Bollywood makes around about a hundred thousand movies a year, so as you can imagine, finding a Bollywood movie with Mr Dunne in it made in 2003 is virtually an impossible task. Now, I really brought up the topic of Bollywood just to say how much I love it. I just love it. I grew up with it. I know all the songs, all the dance moves. The golden age for Bollywood movies was really the 1990s. There are a few gems scattered throughout the naughties. But, I happened to stumble across what I think is surely a contestant for the Foreign Film category at the Oscars. It deserves a lot more praise than I could possibly give it. Please, see for yourselves:

There are some definite awards ready for that movie.

Anyways, dinner's ready so I have to eat it. There is such an amazing Bollywood post coming for our vast following.
