bollywood has gone crazy, theres hardly any good stuff anymore, one or two in a year thats it ... love experimental cinema ex: the president is coming :), gurudutt is god, RK films n other highly dramatical movies are good to watch

waheeda rehman beats all the new age goddesses, ash, jolie, cruz come after her in everyway...; )

Music -->
People fail to understand my taste of music and so do I!

listening to beethoven (symphony 9 and choral fantasy are the ones running through my mind day and night) and mozart (symphony 40 and 25) these days

from current bollywood hits, emtional atyachaar ( censored n uncensored; )) from dev-D, masakkali from delhi-6 and Khudaya Khair from Billu Barber

big fan of gujju ghazals sung by manhar udhas, folk songs by praful dave and bhikudan gadhvi.

love to dance to hip hop like lollipop by lil wayne, lolli lolli by three-6-mafia, low by Flo Rida

love the tracks from slumdog, rehman rocks!

ghitza by Cleopatra Stratan is cute.

and the list goes on and on and on ... :)
