Of Hindi movies & Food

Recently I’ve been exposed with too many Hindi movies and TV series. It’s my mom’s doing – I gotta explain the story to her :|

Anyways, I’ve learn a few things while in that tortured position:
1. Malay & Hindi language share similar words like almari (Closet. yup it’s their word), mungkin (maybe), musibah (catastrophe), to name a few beside the well-known syabas (congrats), maut (death) …and hospital (err…).

2. To signify sunrise, they use loud sound fx of morning birds. Many many birds. Very very loud. Wondered if they woke up and yell “Yeaaayy happyyy” (sic: about firecrackers and Deepavali)

3. In Hindustani drama Food is a very important aspect to in-laws (whole bunch of them). Preparation, cooking, serving, how it taste like, etc took 3 episodes in which the new daughter-in-law showed blissful happiness when everything went well. Almost orgasmic. Really.

Talk about food, recently I had a conversation using food as analogy to relationship. About either you’re the type of person who likes drive-through or a complete meal from appetizer to dessert. I believed in the latter but what’s more important to me is not how you do it, but who you do it with and the occasion, small or big. You could still feel lonely having 12-course ballroom dinner surrounded by hundreds of people. In the other hand, a drive-through could be a great experience if you’re with somebody special.

Atleast IMO, that is better than to eat alone isn’t it?
