"They all have romance (but you almost never see a kiss), comedy and action, and often overt patriotism, sometimes to the detriment of Pakistan." -- That would be Bollywood movies, my friend! Immerse yourself in their splendor at Bollywood For The Skeptical, a tidy fansite with music clips, a Hindu/English glossary, and an unapologetic attitude. It's even spawned an imitator, Ska For The Skeptical. I for one have no skepticism for either, falling for one in middle school and the other in college. I remember hanging out in my friend Maninder's living room in 6th grade, totally hypnotized by a Bollywood musical her grandmother was watching on tape -- I would've gladly watched the whole 5 hours but of course my friend wanted to trade stickers instead. Sigh...
