At the IICs & Siri Forts of course you had to beg, borrow & steal to get in.

I wonder if something is lost by viewing artifacts of a past time through a contemporary lens, though. I'm sure that my small computer screen could never recapture the experience of viewing an old film on a large screen. Am I then watching a different film from the one that people in the past would have seen?Filmi Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09292362161639177666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-13268973227291025372008-06-30T02:34:00.000+05:302008-06-30T02:34:00.000+05:30I felt very alone for years being the only person ...I felt very alone for years being the only person I knew who watched Hindi films. My friends and family all thought I was crazy. Writing a blog about my "obsession" has really brought so much more pleasure---not to mention new friends---than I ever expected. (Plus, I got to see a Fearless Nadia film finally over at rajshri.com!

It has also rendered these very hobbies more commonplace.<BR/><BR/>A twenty something interested in 30s Hollywood was the rarest of rarities in the early nineties. I suspect it is no longer so now.

This was in the days of "shell" accounts, which offered text and links but no real graphics. Even this could only be accessed in a tech-savvy uncle's house because of the exorbitant phone bills. My brother and I stumbled onto a site that listed Homer's "mmmmms..." ("Mmmmmmmm... sixty four slices of American cheese" is one that stuck in my mind). For me then Simpsons was the first exposure to popular culture with any sort of subversive content and finding this random piece of it on the internet was truly magical.RTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00509490132576364316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-68945213521258461452008-06-29T17:47:00.000+05:302008-06-29T17:47:00.000+05:30What a nostalgic post !
