Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. Ours was okay I guess, we had lunch at an indian place and watched a hindi movie - Kal Ho Naa Ho. Had to wait in lines for more than an hour and a half too.. guess its a popular way to spend Thanksgiving for the bay area desis.

The movie was good...very funny in parts. My only gripe will be the way it stretched the sad emotion a lot at the end. Definitely fun to watch.

I was struck that the movie was essentially an american movie that had an indian cast and crew - it was completely set in Manhattan. It could have easily been produced by a hollywood company.. maybe that will happen in the not too distant future.

Indians are biased against homosexuals and this was proved again when in this one song, they show a gay couple kissing. The whole audience let out a collective gasp... I thought the reaction was hilarious :) The makers of the movie certainly exploited the gay sentiment to their hearts content.. you will understand when you see the movie.

We have just been lazing around today - finally used the microwave idli maker that I got as a wedding gift. It works great.. we shall certainly be buying a lot of idli/dosa batter hereon. Going to head out to the Thanksgiving sales and see if I can snag a cheap DVD player for my brother.

Oh, by the way - my brother, Arjun graduated yesterday from his M.I.T course at the University of Sydney. Well, congratulations dude.. we are all proud of you, you postgrad!! :)
