Lets see if you can figure this one out!

THE PHONE

RING <"Fur Elise", actually>

"Hey! sup?"
"Sup?"

"Nothin much. Getting my car serviced and then cleaning and waxing it a little. What's going on with you."
"Nothing much, just the usual weekend. Needed to ask you a few questions regarding my homework. You free in the evening?"

"Ya pretty much. Just call and come over."
"okay. cool. shaam ko aane se pehle will give you a call"

"sounds good! chalo then bye"
"bye"

later....

"Ya, can't wait for it to get warm."
"A couple weeks more!"

"Good night for a movie though."
"That's why we're here! ha ha"


THE CHOICE

"Alright... so what do we want to watch..."
"I don't know. What do you want to watch?"

"I don't know. Whenever I'm at work or at home, I keep thinking 'want to see this, want to see that'. Yahan aakar mind ek dum blank ho jata hai"
"ha ha.. me too."

"anyways, new releases"

"so he's seen it, huh?"

"yep. said he saw it last weekend..."
"hey what about this one? i've been wanting to see it for a while.."

THE DECISION

"it's got such and such and the story's such and such. heard about it from so and so. what do you think?"

"lagti to theek hai... call kar lete hain phir bhi. i think he might've seen it. Hey, you've this one? It's got such and such and the story's such and such. Oh you haven't? I thought you were telling me about it the other day? Oh you wanted to see it? okay cool then we'll get this"

Hi Kage -
This post is genius. Makes me glad I usually watch Bollywood by myself, so I don't have to argue with anyone that they should put down that Salman Khan and just go with me on the Akshaye thing.

Thanks for your comment, by the way. I haven't left yet - but in just over three weeks I fly to Delhi! My house is in chaos as I try to figure out what to pack and figure out gifts to bring, things like that. I'm so excited, though - a little nervous, since so far I don't know much about what to expect in terms of what I'll actually be doing - but completely thrilled to get to be traveling in India!
