With the internet down and nothing to do at early ol' 12:00pm, i decided to fire up the Bend it Like Beckham DVD.
I can honestly say that this is absolutely one of my favourite flicks. Aside from the fact that i can relate to almost everything (including jas' cigarette breath test, sneaking off into town and down to that wonderful feeling of getting totally busted), its really a well done film. Of course, not to mention the breathtakingly perfect soundtrack that I am considering purchasing legally. Addition of the little nuances that only a desi director could nail perfectly, down to the minutest 'oy' and 'satya nas' blurbs. A masterful job of blending the English with the token Punjabi lines that made me crack up rather loudly more than a couple of times.
The classic however, Jas' Ammi imparting wisdom: 'Dressed in a sack, who is going to notice you huyn? Thori ta shape honri chai di ae'
MSN Nickname of the week (Thank you Mujir): goddamn naarras!
The Good: Shaq in the East
The Bad: Shaq in the East
The Ugly: Sam Cassel
Currently Addicted to: IIO feat Nadia Ali - At The End (Ultrasun Remix), DJ Tiesto - Love Comes Again, Junior Jack - Stupidisco
