om shanti om


i have been listening to and loving the soundtrack to the bollywood hit movie "om shanti om." last night i found the myspace page for the movie and found the detailed plot description very funny.

in the film the main role is played by Om Prakash Makhija (Shahrukh Khan), a junior artist in the film industry set in the 1970's and his sidekick friend Pappu (Shreyas Talpade) who are trying to become a big hero one day. Om’s mother, Bela Makhija (Kirron Kher) who is seen inspiring and encouraging their son to become a hero. Om is seen here as a happy go lucky kind of guy and they talked with each other in a filmy way. Om’s love interest is Shantipriya (Deepika Padukone), a rising star. During the premire of a film, the pallu of Shanti’s shari got entrangled with Om’s hand; he managed to enter the hall duping the guards. One day during the shooting of film, the set caught fire in an uncontrolled manner, Shanti was trapped inside the film, it was Om who rescued her, hurting himself. After the incident, Shanti came to thank him personally, and incidentally she overheard Om’s love for her.

click here to read more, as this is only the 1st paragraph! i think my favorite is the word "entrangled". and i am wondering how she overheard his love.

now, here is our boat! nice!



in the dog world, trudy has been eating the cat shit out of the litter box again. earlier she walked in the living room with it all stuck to her nose. i love it when she does that!

these are some rings made by my friend todd reed. he is reclaiming stones from old mughal indian jewelry, having them re-cut, and setting them in these fabulous baubles. he often uses raw diamond cubes set in 18-22k gold or sterling. this is what he is known for, and he pretty much single handedly started this trend of using raw diamond cubes. todd is a friend i am always happy to see at the shows...and i'll be seeing him in a few weeks in both philadelphia and baltimore. in the next few weeks, i'll be posting pics of other friends i'll be seeing at these shows as well...

fermelenge!
