The other day coming back from the Jersey Shore, I happened along XM Channel 159 ATN Asian Radio. Anyone listened to this station before? Despite a few sort of interesting Bollywood remixes, the rest of the programming was painful...the host decided to describe, in very specific detail over 30 minutes (no joke), how to make samosas...who writes down recipes while they are driving?! Needless to say, I channel surfed between that and the 80's and 90's stations... HumDesi HD radio is also sort of... Continue reading ...

 Jose Ruiz and Kathryn McCormick in"Marjaani" Why oh WHY oh WHY are all these reality dance competition shows all stuck on representing "Bollywood" dance as only CLASSICAL INDIAN DANCE in traditional costumes?

I created this blog because 1) I love to write and 2) I love to talk about Bollywood. I 'stumbled' upon Bollywood over 6 years ago, and my life has never been the same since. I am currently an instructor and dance company member at Bollywood Funk NYC, I have seen a lot of Hindi films, been in a few of them, aur mujhe thoda thoda Hindi aata hai. Main Amrikkan hoon lekin mera dil Hindustani hai.
