Bramble Tamble

As mentioned previously, I had a Bollywood music video collection foisted upon me by Sandals last week. The thing was 4 hours long - there were 50 songs on it, all of which were musical numbers from various Bollywood films, and it was, by and large, incomprehensible thanks to the language barrier. I picked up on some common themes, though.

There was a bunch of this heavily choreographed stuff:


... a healthy sampling of this twirly shit ...


... and an alarming sense that the next flu epidemic would start because a woman in the Himalayas doesn't know how to cover up to keep from catching cold.

Also, the subtitles told me about the below conversation:


"I believe that there is also a very prestigious business school at Berkeley, where a graduate can start out making $80,000 a year at an entry-level position. And then there's Northwestern, and of course, Indiana, and what school was it you graduated from again?"

(yes, that jacket says, "L.A. Gear, hi energy wear all around the world."

(and yes, *that* says "Pyaar Diwana Hota Hai pyaar diwana hota ..." Roughly translated, this means, "There were two types of chicken at my daughter's wedding, and it cost so much that I had to get the next thing down from a Members Only jacket.")

I'll admit. Some of it was - gasp - sexy. If only they had been in English.

The screengrabs above were from the first 10 videos. I graciously overestimated to Sandals that I watched about half of it because I'm a lying, duplicitous fuck.
