un pensamiento para ti...

"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez

viva la bollywood

Bollywood movies certainly goes down in history as one of the most unique movie genres in the world. As a young kid I used to laugh at their singing and dancing around trees and bushes, moving from one place to another instantaneously while managing to keep to the song, and the melodrama of Romeo-Juliet-type storylines. But then it's been such a successful formula and still remains well-loved by people all around the world, so I mince my words. There certainly is magic in Bollywood movies.

Still, the unique singing and dancing styles of Bollywood movies still amazes and amuses many, including myself, which is the basis of this really hilarious parody of Bollywood by Winston Spears, a Canadian:

Everytime I see a bollywood song I am reminded of that parody that had me rolling on the floor. Some criticised him and said it wasn't close. Excuse me, I grew up watching bollywood films and I can tell you the parody was spot on! And now that I have seen the original video, I must say, really spot on! But the song is nice though.

By the way I thought he was british. But I knew he was not an american since americans don't really watch bollywood films. It turns out he is a canadian. Well close enough.

Particularly loved his expressions. It really is spot-on!

Not sure if you agree but watching that video I thought he could actually pass off as a real Bollywood actor with his features :P
