Wtc is a desi?

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Desi:
A term referring to something or someone who is from the Indian subcontinent. The Indian subcontinent is comprised of the following major countries: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives.

[*chaneun*]

I'm from Bangladesh.

[radhikaeatsraman]

What kind of dog do you have? I'm just asking, not to eat it or anything, I'm just really curious.. and how big is it?

[radhikaeatsraman]

sasha (my dog) is an australian shepherd mix. she's like, 55-60 pounds. she's medium-sized.

[*jooleeah*]

LOL christine wants to know if it will satisfy her stomach.

[*mona lisa*]

Woot! I'll join. I'll be a leader... if there are any positions open. :)

[*I Shot JFK*]

Radhika has made me Cheif Groupie

= )

[radhikaeatsraman]

thread updated

[radhikaeatsraman]

okay, people can join anytime they like. BUT, let's get some discussion in here.

i don't really like bollywood movies, but it's the desi club so we have to talk about them.

SO, according to mona, she saw 'fanaa' starring kajol and aamir khan, who are both excellent actors. i plan on seeing it.

if you're not indian and you have absolutely no clue what i'm talking about, just read this article.

but if you're too lazy to read that, i'll tell you right now: bollywood movies are incredibly cheesy, over-the-top dramatic, unrealistic and MUSICAL. it's hilarious, really. one minute, two characters are talking about a girl in a city cafe, the next minute, the lovestruck boy is on a mountaintop with her, singing and dancing about how much he loves her. if you're looking for a good laugh, go see a hindi movie. you'll definetely find it.

[*I Shot JFK*]

I thought Cheif Groupie made me a leader, bu toh well.

= 0

yea, i was talking about bollyowood in chat just now... it sounds appealing.. ilove the melodrama and musical elelments.

and i watched this thing called bollywood idol, or something similar, and it was basicaly lik eamerican idol, but trying to find the next bollywood star. it was really interesting

[radhikaeatsraman]

james, dear, i would love to make you a leader, but you're white. :[ i know, i know i made julia a leader, but everything is at my whim. i control everything in this club. mwahahaha.

[*I Shot JFK*]

pssh.

i see how it is...

naw, <3s

[*mona lisa*]

Oh yeah, there's Indian Idol too. I don't have satellite or Dish Network though.

Not all Bollywood movies are bad. Some are really entertaining.
There's one coming out called Krrish. It's a bit like Batman/Superman. It's a sequel to a previously made movie about a boy who is disabled and gains cool powers when aliens come to visit Earth. (Unrealistic and melodramatic, like Radhika said.) Krrish supposedly has really awesome stunts and it came out already, but I haven't seen it. I'll be seeing it soon though.

[*I Shot JFK*]

ooh. i like the sound of that plot...

what is the movie?

[*mona lisa*]

I'm not sure what you mean. The superhero movie is titled "Krrish". Official site: http://www.krrishthemovie.com/

[*I Shot JFK*]

no, i got that, but thanks for the link

you said it was a sequel to something, i was wondering what the original was

[*mona lisa*]

The original is called "Koi Mil Gaya" translating to I've found someone. It's sci-fi. This one is like E.T. the Extraterrestrial.

Got this off wikipedia: An Indian scientist creates a computer that can communicate with aliens from outer space, but is killed in a car accident before he can reveal his work to the public. His pregnant wife survives the wreck but her son Rohit, when born, is mentally retarded.

His mother raises him with tender care and he grows up to be a young man of limited intellect but loving heart. His character impresses a young woman named Nisha and after some initial clashes, they become close friends.

They find the alien-contact computer and summon the aliens by accident. The visiting aliens leave quickly and one alien is left behind. Rohit and Nisha find him, befriend him, name him Jadoo (meaning "Magic" in Hindi/Urdu), and hide him from the authorities (who would like to imprison and investigate him).

Jadoo senses that there is something wrong with Rohit and uses his uncanny powers to "fix" Rohit. Rohit not only becomes normal, he becomes "supernormal". He is super-intelligent and super-strong. He and Nisha fall in love.

However, the government has not given up. Police capture Jadoo, who is rescued by Rohit. Jadoo flees in his spaceship and apparently takes Rohit's new powers with him. Rohit is again mentally retarded -- which saves him from prosecution by the government.

But this is not the end. Jadoo restores Rohit's special abilities -- permanently. Nisha and Rohit can now lead a happy life, together.

Yeah, it seems so cliched. Most movies have happy endings. Although it seems that way from my examples, not every Bollywood movie is a remake of a Hollywood one.

[radhikaeatsraman]

see, james? bollywood movies will keep your inner drama queen satisfied. :D

[vandiee]

i want to joinnn.
im definitely desi. dont worry. :]

[n_Oodles]

I don't really watch desi movies...I'm pretty much white-washed

[priyas]

i havent seen a bollywood movie for a year cuz they get annoying.

i saw this cool one once called: Koi Mil Gaya...there was a cute alien in it.

[kimmytree]

Oh dang. At first, I seriously thought you were talking about Lucille Ball or something.



*runs away*

[*I Shot JFK*]

^ LOL.

and yes, i do love a bit of drama.

[vandiee]

bollywood movies.
i haven't seen one for such a long time, our family just stopped renting them from the indian store after a while.
x[ how pathetic.
but the ones with aishyaria rai we always watch. :]

[radhikaeatsraman]

[*I Shot JFK*]

i wonder if i can find a decent video store which stocks bollywood...

[vandiee]

we were just talking about the sequel, "krrish."

they have a sequel for koi mil gaya now?
haha i had no idea. is it good?

[Retrogressive]

I wish I was more exposed to bollywood movies :C The only one I've ever watched is Bride and Prejudice. As cheesy as they are, I like the musicals and tramadrama.

[radhikaeatsraman]

hmm.

i wonder if i can find a decent video store which stocks bollywood...

try an indian grocery store, james. i'm sure there should be one where you live.

they have a sequel for koi mil gaya now?
haha i had no idea. is it good?

well, i haven't seen it, but it looks weird.

[*mona lisa*]

Krrish (the sequel) was great. =) A few cheesy and predictable parts but overall, it was awesome.

Oh, and you don't have to see the original to understand the sequel. Everything is explained.

[*I Shot JFK*]

try an indian grocery store, james. i'm sure there should be one where you live.
well, i haven't seen it, but it looks weird.

lol, radhika, i live in the middle of no where. the nearest ENGLISH grocery sor is 30 minutes away. maybe i can find on in london

hi rad

[radhikaeatsraman]

Sup Jay.

thread updated again

[n_Oodles]

Just to keep things going...what are you guys favorite desi food?

[radhikaeatsraman]

Shiiit. I have too many to list! But I'll try:
-Naan, chapaati, puri, paratha...all the breads, pretty much.
-CHAAT!
-Chole. 'Nuff said.
-I like palak paneer and saag paneer, too.
-I also love the sweets. Gulab jamun, laddu, barfi, kheer...yum.

And yet I'm South Indian. I don't like South Indian food all that much.
You guys should try Indian food. It's actually pretty friggin awesome.
Funny how I'm listening to Juanes while typing all of this.

[*I Shot JFK*]

I do love a bit of naan bread, it must be said.

and then, assorted curries

[radhikaeatsraman]

South Indian food isn't exactly my cup of tea. Too mushy, not spicy enough.

OH OH! How could I forget pakoras? Especially when they're super-spicy.

[Teesa]

HELLOOOO, add me :]

[n_Oodles]

I love puri and subsi (SP like whoA) I had some this morning and I love brihyani and of course curry

[radhikaeatsraman]

'Sup Teesa.
Some Bengali food recs would be nice. :D

edit: I've decided to make James an officer. It's only fair, considering Julia is one and she isn't desi.

edit2: It would be realllly nice if you could put links/images in your sig relating to our club. :]
thread updated

[*mona lisa*]

I'll make a banner if I get a chance; if not, I'll just link it.

Hmm. Food!
I love tandoori chicken, naan/paratha, kheer, ladoo, palak paneer, laal saag, chat, bhel puri, vada, pakora. My mom makes the best gulab jamun and rasmalai in the world! Ooh, chole is one of my favorites too! And so is bhindi ka bhujia. Hey! If your parents ever make bhindi ka bhujia (you know, okra), add some frech cut onions and mash it a bit. Eat that with roti or paratha. It tastes delicious!

Ok, I need a break. My mouth is watering. I'll be back though.

[lalalaLANUH]

HECK YESHHH count me in
I'm guyanese indian...so we screwed up the name of most indian dishes =)
Yeah I love Indian sweets mostly.
Sometimes I get tired of Indian dishes, but we're the best when it comes to cooking chicken. I just hate having my sinuses unclogged three times a day. (Curry tops everything in my house)

[*mona lisa*]

Have you tried Maggi? It's noodles with curry/masala/chatpata/etc. flavoring. Curry is the best but it is so spicy!

[lalalaLANUH]

Yeah a couple of times. My aunt makes it, but I honestly don't like her cooking. Shhh.

[radhikaeatsraman]

Maggi Noodles and rice are requirements in every Indian's diet. :D

[*mona lisa*]

Don't forget daal and roti. I rarely eat roti myself but in my house, it's always roti, rice, daal, and some sort of bhujia or subji for dinner. If not, then it's mac&cheese or noodles for me. :D

[restless_soul]

kajol's latest flick: was bitten on left B**B before the shooting of fanaa.

[ichigofan]

it sucks but I love her in Devdas <3 i get bored

[radhikaeatsraman]

Ooh, lovin' the banner, ichigofan!

[radhikaeatsraman]

Badadadabump.
Apparently, just saying that would be spam, so please keep going with the food discussion, por favor.

[lalalaLANUH]

OOO devdas! that's like one of the only indian films i've ever watched! it's so sad at the end. I started to cry.
And hush-it doesn't suck.
Erm..indian food...is good?
And getting of topic for a bit, has anyone seen the movie American Desi?

[radhikaeatsraman]

Yes, I've seen both Devdas & American Desi.
I don't care if Devdas is good or not, I'm not sitting through 5 hours of Shahrukh Khan getting drunk. No thank you. I'd much rather read the book.

American Desi...the girl was kinda ugly. I actually didn't really like it, but I saw it when I was only eight or whatever. So I don't really remember it.

[lalalaLANUH]

Ah same (about American Desi) but I loved how his white friend always bowed when he saw Indian parents. That's the only thing I remember about the film.
And watching Sharukh Khan get drunk scared me, which made me feel bad for him (in some strange way), which inturn made me cry.

[ichigofan]

OMG devdas was insanely awesome-- he only gets drunk during the last 15 hours lols.. ure right it was long but at the end i wanted moreeeeeeee ahh i didnt like how it ended WHAT HAPPEND TO PARO???? lols i wanted to see American Desi but i cant find it anywhere!!!! I recently just brought hum dil de chuke sanam - as u can tell im a BIG Aishwarya Rai fan.. ive eaten Roti loads of times with kabob spicy chicken in it mmmm soo good!..

[radhikaeatsraman]

^Okey doke.

And Hindi movies would be better if it weren't for the cheesy songs. Oh, and if they weren't so damn long.

thread updated

[lalalaLANUH]

^Agreed. But you get use to having your butt grow numb after a couple movies.
I hate it when aunties and uncles come over 'cause then all they seem to do is watch indian movies. And it's like ordering something from Pizza Hut makes you totally americanized.

[radhikaeatsraman]

^OMG, I know! But my aunties & uncles aren't that stereotypically auntie & uncle-ish. At least I don't think so. o_O Well, some are, but whatev.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

does Punjabs count ??? ...im pure punjabi romeo .... and i love guju girls there soo purdy ...... .... i`ve been influenced with alot of desi`s when i was young.

[radhikaeatsraman]

^Haha, sure they do. I'll put you in. And yeah, guju girls are pretty. So are Punjabi girls.
