Bollywood

I am from India and our film industry is the largest world-wide, known for its bright colors, catchy numbers and heart wrenching love stories. Sometimes criticized for the the prancing heroes and the voluptuous heroines who shake their booty at the drop of a hat, Bollywood is actually what teaches us Indians not to take everything so seriously and maybe once in a while to just chill! You know, this may be why you will probably never meet an uppity or snooty Indian.

A trip to the movie theater is not just about an hour of fun interrupted by popcorn...No! The airy popcorn is just no match for the solid samosa. The movie usually goes on for three hours and sometimes the fun part is the 'Interval' for two reasons, one coz biting into luscious samosas while watching a Bollywood hit is so very gratifying and two coz the interval usually means "Kahani mein twist!" (A twist in the tale!).
