In fact, I also enjoyed every moment when I was inside the theatre, and on post mortem, realise, it was just the instantaneous pleasure of 'feeling good' or ' just having fun' and no treasure or though to carry forward. Howevr, in today's time, who cares for carry forwards ?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for 'Perun Bhaji'... never knew the name, though is often done at home, courtesy my Mashi-in-law from Nagpur, popularising in the family.<BR/><BR/>With the new found name, I am sure, it would taste even betterBongHomeChefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709497824813140021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-78881129414360268322007-11-18T16:56:00.000-05:002007-11-18T16:56:00.000-05:00Hi Sandeepa!

Love the bhaji, yaar! Its yummy and always a delight to have. Oh, and hindi movies, they are mostly fun, stressbusters :). Silly ones like Hera-Pheri, Hungama, Hulchul, Andaaz Apna Apna can brighten up a day anytime :). and i am a total SRK fan, so i am thrilled to know that you got to watch the movie and enjoyed it :). While i love and appreciate serious cinema both desi and videshi, i do crave my dose of mindless fun via regualr desi movies too. They both have their own place :-D. I'd let Kurosawa and Priyan coexist in my space :).musicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166797277993509485noreply@blogger.com
