A new year eve with a Nepali, Jap and a Ghana-ian watching Fana, stuffing oneself with Nepali food and the Ghana dude loving every bit of Fanaaaa, while I almost puked and swore a million times and kept howling, " ... but you know, Aaamir movies are soo good otherwise .." and the otherwise peaceful Jap girl breaking into monstrous guffaws esp during the last scene - Amir being shot down by Kajol and all those sidey formula melodrama extraordinaire of Bollywood ... all along the Nepali friend empathizing with my "emotional trauma"!! (How could I convince my Jap friend the "facts" behind Rajesh Khanna look-alike acting epileptic? Indeed I tried giving her examples of Elvis freaks!)

Woke up at 11.00 AM and watched back to back episodes of "Ugly Betty" and to my immense surprise, I found extreme coincidences between "Jassi Jaisi Koyi nahin"!!! Is that true folks??!!! Wow!! Hoollywood working on Booollywood formula??!! Do I swell with Desi pride??

We are gonna watch next, "Lage Raho munnabhai ...."! Its been a great newyear:-)
