Hi,
it was 3 years ago that I was in India 1st time. The people impressed me at the job, in the city (Bangalore).
The joy of life, the positive attitude, colours, beauty, was something I have never experienced before.
I have been living in Finland, Canada and Germany and I love them all, but India is my clear number 1.
First I watched Indian cinema out of curiosity, but then I became obsessed of it, I simply have to see at
least a couple of movies a week. And I cannot live without chilli pickle etc. And increasingly Indian music is my fav.
Mainstream Bollywood is great (Kal Ho Na Ho, Jab tak hai jaan, Veer-Zaara, DDLJ ..), also Deepa Mehta (especially
Midnight's children), Nandita Das, Nagesh Kukunoor (Hyderabad Blues is one of my top favs), Mira Nair (Namesake,
Monsoon wedding, Mr&Mrs Iyer ..), of the old movies the ones of Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen, Mother India, Deewar ...
I am thinking a lot what Indian movies have not addressed, the reality of NRIs, the India freaks like myself,
the fact that Hindi is not known outside of India, if I know what pyaar, dost, bhai, bedi .. means, I am the expert.
I would like to share my experiences, that is why I wanted to join this forum
