Bollywood!

Today lounging at home with relatives, watching some lame-ass MTV, the topic of Bollywood came up. We didn't discuss it at length, however. Then later my mom started watching "Kites" on TV, and that got me thinking all the more. Bollywood. Um. I think I should give an introduction to all you readers (I wish! sadly no one reads my blog!!), to this great word. It's the "Hindi Film Industry" of, guess guess, INDIA.
I can't believe my blog's reduced to a platform for me to mindlessly rant about wasted firangs. (more about the 'firangs' thing later.)
SO yeah, Bollywood. I'm really not making this any interesting for you'll I know.
Let's see.
Wow I thought I was in the blogging mood only a SECOND ago.
Ah whatever.
Straight to the 'firang's thing' alright. I was half-watching Kites when I saw one Barbara Mori on screen rambling in fluent Spanish. After 10 minutes of watching my mind drew a blank, and went WTF! she can't even speak the language (in the movie, I know, but still), and yet Hrithik Roshan's all into her. I mean I do SEE why, but, uh, back to, she doesn't even SPEAK the language!
That got me thinking, she's only casted because she's Barbara Mori, not Anchal Pandit (Don't ask me, but for some reason I'm feeling Anchal Pandit as a prospective Bollywood actress) (No offense to Anchal Pandit, if you exist.) (Oh and imma google you later just for fun.) (what are the chances anyway that she, if she exists, will read this?) (except if she googles herself and my link pops up) (wow this is has got to be my longest bracketing spree!)
Anyway, my point was, only because she's a Firang does she stand a chance to be signed in a big bollywood budget wala movie!
OK, somehow I don't feel like re-expressing my views about the subject so imma now copy the chat with my friend, (and about the only devoted blog follower, Taneesha!!) that inspired me to blog about this in the first place! OH and another note, 'connect the dots', get my point, after reading this chat because I'm in a very not-bothered-anymore mood about it now to explain. And if you didn't understand still, then screw it, I'm admittedly accepting that this post is not Kamna Readable-worthy anyway.

Here:
Taneesha says:
btw, did you see kites? ha
Kamna says:
my mom's watching it now :D :S
Taneesha says:
hahaa my thoughts exactly ;) like it's not even been a month since it realased and it's on TV already. wow
Kamna says:
I know how sad na!
Taneesha says:
yeah!
Kamna says:
it's so lame. she can't even speak the language!
Taneesha says:
i know. and why the hell are they getting mexicans in bollywood? or for that matter, firangs?
Kamna says:
because they want to make it as sexual a gimmick as possible. because that's what it has reduced to now a sexual gimmick
Taneesha says:
true
Kamna says:
and firangs sell!
Taneesha says:
hahaa yup!
Kamna says:
with their flat-breasted horribly aging skin and I'll-sleep-with-all-directors attitude and general bimbo-sity
Taneesha says:
oh yeah. maybe you can blog about the firang selling
Kamna says:
haha. really?
Taneesha says:
yeah. i've written soooooooooooo many fillers in my blog ha
Kamna says:
is that what my blog's reduced to? a platform for me to mindlessly rant about wasted firangs?
Taneesha says:
nah
Kamna says:
wow my english is so good tonight. I'm using all nice big words!
Taneesha says:
it's just an issue no one's thought about
Kamna says:
hasn't it though?
Taneesha says:
:) i know what you mean ha
Kamna says:
I mean. it feels like such a used topic. maybe it's cause it's bollywood associated
Taneesha says:
but then all topics are used
Kamna says:
and bollywood is so overdone. okay I'm blogging XD


Done.

As you can see, Taneesha favourite colour is not green. :)



 Note: For all you non-Indian readers, I do hope this is unoffensive to you, as I don't intend to offend ALL foreigners. It's just them wannabe Bollywood actresses from Norway for eg. that get on my nerves a bit. :)

New Quotes

For people who believe strongly in the illusiveness of life, to doubt would be more correct than to bear full conviction about anything at all. But then again that questions their primary belief in illusions. - Aditi A world without faith in a higher power or a god is a better world where we can be responsible for our own actions; where we can be kind to one another because we want to and because it is the right thing to do instead of being frightened into behaving by the threat of divine punishment. Many events may have defied your ability to explain, events that seem like miracles, but if you are convinced that you failed to understand them because you're still woefully ignorant about the universe and the learning will never stop, then, you cannot and will not believe that a deity altered the workings of nature. Don't ignore reality in order to comfort yourself, for once you do, you make it easy for others to deceive you. Understanding breeds empathy. We do not writ...

ChAI

I used AI to make my chai this morning.   Why? Because I wanted to see if I’d still get that dopamine hit from something I didn’t even make.   I wanted to know if, by outsourcing an experience whose only purpose was my own consumption, it would take away from it.   By removing the act of boiling water, steeping tea—by only keeping the intent to make it—would I still feel the satisfaction when I took the first sip?   I read somewhere that you should aim to do hard things. That when you push yourself, when you fight resistance, and break through the boundaries of what you thought you could do, the dopamine hit is bigger.   But what happens when everything can be done by AI?   What happens when AI whispers, "I got you," and we stop doing anything at all?   The dopamine hit then wouldn’t come from the effort, but from the discovery that AI can do more, so we do less.   But here’s the catch—AI will do more, and w...

Kept / Wept / Slept

For a while now, I've been wearing house slippers that are way too big for me. Firsthand experiencing the dangers of seeking (and knowing) too much, and finding out, rudely, unceremoniously, curiosity can kill more than just the cat. While exciting to taste the fruity slurps of seemingly full-knowledge, the satisfying crunch of acknowledgement, like punching holes through a thick stack of warm copy paper, the thrill of cliff jumps can culminate into bum-first crashing into the deceptive deep. Nobody warns you. That the water is always shallower; swallowing life too fragile to keep. No one explains that the depth is a trick. That the more that you dig, the less it will stick. Hunger loud from the tum; buns left in the breadbasket: none. And thread count of those slightly expensive sheets? No reliable guarantee of sleep. Long story short, if worry is the thief of joy; self awareness is the enemy of miracles. And so the slippers go into that unopened shoe cupboard, unused, where their...
