Bollywood galore!

[yakalskovich]

There's a special Bollywood shop just around the corner now.

It's masquerading as a bland Internet café and call shop for people from hot countries that want to phone home; but sekritly, there is a rack of huge bollywood posters (big Shah Rukh Khan for six Euros, small Shah Rukh Khan for three, and ladies in saris), and lots of DVDs in slim cases, Hindi with subtitles - English or German - for three Euros the legality of which I am not going to question - direct imports from Mumbai, let's say, and think no more about it.

I balked at Hindi with French subtitles. My French is usable, but not that easy; my Hindi extends to 'Namaste' and the realisation that the stem 'muskurait-' (spelling unknown) meaning 'smile'(both as a verb and a noun).

But there is mileage in that shop. Lots and lots of movies, some of them over three hours long, for 3 Euros a shot? That's a lot of entertainment.

Uuuh...I'll have to come over and bring some cake and my knitting stuff. I'll have to pass on the french subtitles though as my french is way too rusty.

Aren't you complettely booked for the next 2 weeks or so? And I meant that I did not buy the version with the French subtitles, as my French is limited and my Hindi for all practical reasons nonexistant. The bloke assured me he was going to get it with English subtitles again.

And you have to bring especially colourful wool. What you normally knit would look too drab in contrast with those movies. Is there a Quidditch team with especially violet team colours?

Well, I'm booked on the next two weekends but I have time during the weeks. Maybe there is one day when you don't have to go to the slavery work?
Theoretically I'm still working on my Chudley Cannons sweater, wich is so orange that it hurts. But I took it off the needles as I needed them for something else.
Practically I so want to start a Weasley Sweater (you *have* to make one for the little lady!) but that would be dark blue, or dark green or dark red, depending on what kind of wool I find.

No, I don't have to go to my slave labour every day; this week, I was off yesterday and today, but next week it's Friday because of Red Bear House clearing their basements - free spices as much as I can carry!!

The week afterwards, then, after your visitor of that weekend has gone?

And it'll have to be the Chudley Cannons one, definitely!!

Weasley Sweater for the Little Lady sounds good; do you have sources for patterns in childrens sizes?
