Received a message about a spam comment, logged in to delete it, and browsed through the blog after AGES!!!! With work and home life getting so busy, I haven't been on this blog for well over a year. Nice to browse through old posts ... I saw that someone complained about some post and it was taken down. Must have been some criticism of their idol, which was difficult to digest! Considering I haven't posted anything, criticism or otherwise, for well over a year, I was amused and flattered to see that people still visit this place!
Indian TV is well and truly down the tubes. I watch Anupama and Ahilya ... the first out of sheer habit, and the second because I am genuinely interested to learn more about the queen, who from all available accounts, was an exemplary ruler for over thirty years. Unfortunately, as with more historical shows on Indian tv, am not sure how much fact there is and how much fiction. The show is very slow too. But apart from those two main complaints, it is interesting to watch ... and nice to see a ruler fighting some evils of ancient Indian society, including widow remarriage, implementing modern business practices, and working for the welfare of her subjects. Also amusing to see Dwarkabai's and Dhanaji's plans fall flat every so often, every time they think they've nailed it.
Anupama ... watching, but nothing much to say. Typical Hindi show ... says it all.
Started watching the adaptation of Those Pricey Thakur Girls on Hotstar ... will continue when I get the time. Also thinking of giving a new Sony show a try ... the one with the unlikely friendship between a crusty angry old man and a young girl.
Waiting for 83 the movie to show on an online platform ... missed it in the hall, as omicron was rampant.
Watched an old movie last night The Queen, starring Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth ... very good. Helen Mirren won an Oscar for her role ... well deserved.
