Apart from a jug of Gallo and a carton of Cools, there is no better way to start a Monday than a 5-minute Bollywood dance clip. This particular clip comes to us from one of my favorite guilty indulgences, Lagaan. It's a moderately-melodramatic over-the-top underdog tale of peasants, imperialism, triple taxation, and Cricket. Pick up some Indian take-out and pop this puppy into your DVD player.
Yes, I've talked about Lagaan before. Look, I'm a sucker for the swirling colors and dizzying dancing. If you want to know what these fine folks are singing about, rent the movie and watch it with the subtitles. If you are really clever, however, (and I suspect that you are) just watch the clip. I am confident that you will figure it out.
Reading for Comprehension:
1. Ever see Bride and Prejudice? (There's another recommendation)
2. This clip makes me hungry. I may have to go to the Indian buffet on Hawthorne for lunch.
3. I'm going to add an "India" tag just for fun. Whenever I do that, my hits go through the roof...

One can tell with this clip and the tag that you used that you are trying to curry favor with the people of India. I would ask why, but ultimately it's a naan-issue. I say go with whatever pulls your rickshaw, my friend.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your lunch. I'm not a big fan of Indian food, so I think I'm just going to run up to the corner Dehli for a sandwich.
oof, that one hurt...
