The cute child “Bachche Chacha Nehru se pyaar karte the! Chacha Nehru khoobsurat the. Bachche har khoobsurat cheez se pyaar karte hain!” I listened, admiring my beautiful Hindi teacher reading out a chapter on Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

Sui Dhaga – Finally A Bollywood Couple With Real Problems
I watched this movie last weekend. Did not get a chance to write about it then. Very quickly, here is what I thought: The movie is to the point.
