So today was a busy day... I first went down to Ano Nuevo to go see some Elephant Seals...what an awesome hike/trip. I recommend to all. It was just cool to see these large massive animals and how they mate- the pups and then what they called the 'weiners' which are the weened pups. Just an awesome experience and even though it rained for a little bit, the sun came out and just the view was worth my drive down.
Then I decided to join the zillions of people that have seen "slumdog millionare". I literally was beginning to feel like the only indian that hadn't seen it and it was WELL worth my trip. I kept on saying- this is going to suck- its overrated- blah blah. But, in the middle, I was like, omg- i'm beginning to love this movie. Especially because I've been to India, seen things that are there, and was proud that now Americans can now see what the 'true' india is. Even though I love the romatisized view of India, I think they did a good job of showing just a smidgen of what really is there. Trust me, it's worse...but they did a good job of showing how it is to some degree. Even hearing hindi made me tear up(and realizing the subtitles were way off) and then the 'kinda' bhangra at the end was a cute way to go. The only wish I had was that they made it more bhangra versus more anglo-bhangra- but I loved the movie all in all. Thumbs up!
Ok, now going to enjoy my last couple of episodes of cosby and enjoy my rest of the day off...hope everyone had a productive Friday!! :)
