Happy Holi!

To all my fellow Hindus, happy Holi/ Phagwa. Hope this new year brings much good fortune and happiness to you!
This time, i will not be able to take part in the festivities like I did last year. I have been a little bit busy with work and regrettably, I will not be at home for the fun part of it. I must say, of all our festivals, this is the best one for me. It is a festival where you feel the joy in the atmosphere. You just know it is a special day. Something like that.

Tonight, I saw what has to be the most hilarious movie i have seen in a long, long time. If you are looking for a good laugh, "Wild Hogs" is the movie to see. There is clean humor and nothing very offensive like in so-called comedies today, "Norbit" and "Borat," for example. John Travolta rocks even now! I guess he's one of my favorites and I didn't realize that until just now. I will watch any movie he acts in and I have watched "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fever" so many times that I have almost memorized the scenes and most of the dialogue. John Travolta has charisma....and he can still dance really well. There were some places in the movie tonight where you could see some hints of "Saturday Night Fever" and that very famous walk when the Beegees sang "Stayin' Alive." I even got Ami talking about actually sitting down to watch John Travolta do the famous dance in "Saturday Night Fever. " That's after I told him all about Danny Zuko in "Grease."
Without giving too much of the movie away, "Wild Hogs" is as you guessed it, is about the American Biker culture and about these four suburban, middle-aged guys who decide to ride cross country from Ohio to the Pacific. The movie is funny from beginning 'til end. Believe me, it makes you want to go out and buy a Harley and ride cross-country yourself!

I've gotten the cold again. Seems as if that happens too often now and this time, I've taken more medicine in two days than I've ever taken. At least the worst of it is gone now and I didn't let it prevent me from seeing a really good movie!
