" Prepone "

Now I don’t remember when and where I learnt this word. But its been years n years I am using it. So are all others. Seems such a simple word!!
Guess what – No American knows what this means! Supposedly, this word is used only in India – no where else. Though it is listed in dictionary, even Word highlights it as spelling mistake.
Now that’s surprising!!

Why there is not a single movie which portrays the real picture of Indian culture? I happen to watch this movie – ofcourse with lots of expectations. Descent movie, But with very unrealistic and disagreeable sketch of Indian cities n culture. There is a much better way to explain Spiritual aspect. Why colorful dresses, crowded temples, variety of deities, weird customs have to pointed? Don’t you see grandeur or glory or richness in culture/history/ society? And why dont you make fun of british or american life style or customs?

This is the reason I will rate Bend it Like Beckham as good movie – atleast it presents pros n cons of both the societies.
It was disturbing for to see whole crowd in theater laughing on Indian culture and traditions under the name of "Spiritual Quest". Its not at all funny.
