thank you, bollywood!

bollywood produces about a 1000 movies every year. even if the percentage of good movies is small, a small percentage of a large number is still a large number after all. given that we have a history of several decades (less movies were produced in earlier years, admittedly, but still) that makes a lot of movies. and of course, good movies are defined by one's personal thresholds. let's say we go with the 'average' threshold (whatever that may be).

let's get to the point. watching tv these days (especially on weekends) is sheer pleasure. channels there are many, and movies too. one can keep switching channels, finding movie after movie one could consider worth watching. today, for instance, i have seen chunks of jo jeeta wohi sikandar, tum bin, lage raho munnabhai, kuchh na kaho, and kabhi haan kabhi na. given that these movies are each approx. 3 hours, this is impressive, yes? all in the comfortable confines (i love using "comfortable confines". can you tell?) of an air-conditioned room. ah, bliss is this.
