I love this one.

and of course there's Maahi Ve. I loooove this one, too. Or try this link they're not so squished in this one.

In fact, NA, you should show Kal Ho Na Ho (where the Maahi Ve song is from) at the party. I liked it a lot.

The scary thing is that I'm starting to recognize Bollywood stars from other films I've seen. The actor in the Maahi Ve is the star of a film we will be watching on NYE - Om Shanti Om - which I posted some clips from earlier.

From the same film as Maahi Ve is a version of the Orbison classic "Pretty Woman".

I will if I can find a copy that's ot $53. I may have to stop by my new favorite video store in Artesia on Wednesday. I suspect they will know me on a first name basis by the end of this year.

This is a clip from one of the most amazing dance scenes From Jewel Thief - the 3 hour Hitchcock/Bond/Gaslight film that we may subject you all to. This is an amazing piece of .......something.

BTW, the star of Jewel Thief looks a bit like Cary Grant but also looks a bit like Todd.

Bollywood and Bacon. 2009 is gonna rule! :snap:

OK. Here's an assignment for everyone:

Watch and practice the moves outlined in these instructional videos. There will be a test.

This party is going to have to last as long as an Indian Wedding.

Hey - I quoted NA on something that wasn't a typo: this line made me laugh (well, giggle maybe).

So its going to be shorter this year?

Well, if people take off on Friday as well as NYD Thursday then it may be even longer than the party that ended on the 2nd (or was it the 3rd?).

Someone better, since I'll probably be leaving for work on that Friday morning, and when I return on Friday evening I'll need some nice hot slabs of bacon. :D

OH... also this year should I plan on Strawberries Fitzgerald (strawberries soaking in champagne and orange juice, white sugar, butter, flamed with maraschino liqueur and served over cream cheese-filled crepes)?

Or the traditional Bananas Foster?

Keep in mind that with the first one, we can make sugar bindis on our foreheads and lick them off of each other. Now that's good Bollywood!
