I think they planned to capture the breadth of experience that India has to offer and didn’t quite get it right..
It’s audacious when anyone attempts to make a movie about India because its such a difficult subject and our experiences are so personalized.

I don’t think it was a great movie.But I do recognize that the sincerity behind the effort and felt it was better than many of mindless movies which seem to make crores…

I have almost developed a cult status among people who know me when it comes to crying-whether it is sentimental movies…love songs…radio shows..or even a full moon.If I ever live up to sixty,I’m sure that I’ll just sit in a corner..and sob my eyes out.

The “naale baa” ghost was our fav topic during lunch-time in school.Each kid would let her imagination run wild when it came to the ghost’s appearance. Ah,the thrill of sitting under the big tree in our school and discussing the adventures of that ghost!

Kannaadigas and their quirks! what I find most annoying is the affected American accent(particularly around the choona places in M.G.Road and Brigade’s)..HaLL udrsbidaNa ansutte…

I remember that ‘naaLe baa’ ghost incident. And there was another one too – about a snake ghost taking rounds and leaving imprints on plants and leaves. Ha ha. That turned out to be a seasonal disease that afflicts the plants.

And kannadigas not speaking Kannada. Well, that has nothing to do with the US. One hop, skip and jump around Blore’s CBD will leave anyone disillusioned.

I see the point of talking in English in a corporate environment where there is too much diversity.Also,personally I am scared of “hangalla kaNaiah!” type language usage with colleagues

But you are right..it is rare to find people who are willing to speak kannada in Bangalore.

@anandarekha,
I really should write about that Amtrak trip.

kannadigas are like that He had that much bhashabhimana as to speak to u when he heard u speaking in kannada…God bless him!!!

Thanks! Writing often-is also one of my intentions..but there is this thing called laziness

You should definitely consider taking that train trip.Writing about that train trip is on my “have-to-do” list.

@Vasuki,

One man’s crap is another man’s content

And no clue why Kannadigas dont talk in Kannada…guys talking to girls in english is explainable to some extent…because two Kannadiga girls always conversing in english is a higher percentage than two Kannadiga guys talking in english…still thats no explanation for guys who respond in english even if the girl talks in kannada…may be its the “impressioning” thing
