love is a many splendid thing...

it finally arrived in the mailbox!
i was thrilled to receive my first set of 3 dvds, from an online rental service, in my mailbox today..
let me elaborate a little here...
i was just surfing the net the other nite... and i searched for online dvd rentals... some form of convenient service whereby u can just log on, pick the films you want... and have it delivered rite to your doorstep...it's waaaay cool.. ok... maybe not in the zouk-cool sense... but in the cool since_i_don't_have_much_to_do_but_to_spend_my_time_watching_dvds_this_hols kinda way... so i came a cross this site www.hollywoodclicks.com and decided to see what they had to offer... they mail you the shows that you list down in order of availabilty and preference.. and when you are done.. you just need to mail them back the dvd and they will send u whatever's next on your list...it's as simple as that!! how wonderful... and as i was browsing the titles that they had.... i was suddenly very excited to see BOLLYWOOD selection!!!! i was giddy with excitement.... thrilled... where do i sign??? hahaha... so anyway... they have this free trial thing that i am currently signed on... and i will probably continue the membership for the month of december... its $35 and i figured it isn't too bad... since i really don't wanna pay good money for bad hindi vcds... heh..

that was two days ago... yup, it's pretty prompt service.. i found the first three titles in my mailbox this evening.. and i cldn't wait to get started... unfortunately they didn't have DEVDAS... which was one of the big budget bollywood productions... can't wait to get my hands on that... in the mean time... i have KAL HO NAA HO, MOHABBATEIN and CHALTE CHALTE...

and talk about value for money... i never realised that the minimum duration of a hindi movie is actually 3hrs.. and for an epic its probably 4hrs... how will i ever find enough time for all the shows that intend to watch??

and for those who are still in disbelief of my fascination with the bollywood culture... yes, i do watch... the title of this blog isn't just a witty title... heh.... but let me make this clear... i love the song and dance, i love the happy endings.. (ok i am a sucker for all the tragic ones too).. i love the beautiful cast... so erm...no old hindi movies for me.. just those with aishwarya, shahrukh and priety (yes, that's apparently a name)...

so may new hindi phrase for today: kal ho naa ho which translate to "for, tomorrow may never be"
i love the way they write the scripts... who says romance is dead?? not in bollywood!! =)
ok ok.. so some people may find it tacky... but hey, where is the love?? (rite mr lai?)
and thank goodness for APPROPRIATE subtitles.. i don't get some senseless translation of the dialogue or the songs... yup, the songs... haha... all filled with meaning... all conveying love...

we could all use a little bit more romance in our lives rite? (men's health the magazine apparently agrees with me... but that would be another blog altogether )
