A bit of a confession, a new addiction ...

As part of the play, we were asked to check out videos on YouTube for the interludes. One was to have an oriental theme. What does that mean? Depends on whatever creative work we get from the video research. It wasn't my part so I didn't have any input, still, I always do the research. Well, I checked out a few from Bollywood and sure enough, I'm a full blown addict. Check out a few favorites.

The Lemon Song featuring Aishwarya Rai.

Dholna means boyfriend. This one is typical in that people are running through nature and it seems that at every new angle shot, the actors are in different colors.

This one takes place in the old west - good cowboy theme. I asked my Indian lab mate and she said it is about competition for a beautiful woman, the name "Layla" is often used, she is from an ancient fable. The dancing is spectacular!!!

Another favorite!

Sorry, I couldn't figure out the youtube direct links like many of you do, some day I will be so clever. Until then follow the links to enjoy!

Oh, I think I'll get in trouble at work if I have too much Bollywood action on my screen!

on YOUTUBE there is usually something that says "Embed" and shows a bit of code. In blogger, all you have to do is copy and paste that snippet of code into your post. Easy. sometimes, however, it will say "Embedding disabled by request" in which case you can't do it....
