hey you! yes, you .................
................... lol :-)
muzik genre is vast - from african traditional to european classical, british rave to american country, folk to opera, grunge to rock, disco to breakdancing, jazz to hip hop, acoustic to electronic, rap to reggae, bhangra to latino - too many fave artists to narrow down - also love rave muzik and the soundtracks from tsotsi, sarafina, amandla, grease, trick, calamity jane, oklahoma, my fair lady, sound of music, stand by me, phantom of the opera & the original oliver twist
usually watch indie & foreign films, tho’ i’ve to admit that i sometimes indulge in a hollywood blockbuster :-) fan of indian bollywood and hk/chinese movies [especially anything with my fave actor tony leung chiu wai] - some of my all time faves are: ruby in paradise, mad hot ballroom, chalte chalte, love jones, jason's lyric, happy together, stand by me, initial d, hero, monsoon wedding, dil chahta hai, the color purple, all of the lord of the rings, the second x-men, the first matrix and the first infernal affairs [tony leung & andy lau rock!]
didn't watch much tv as a kid & dvr most stuff now coz of time constraints - usually watch programming on azntv, bbcamerica, ifc, sundance, bravo, currenttv, logo, scifi, history, hgtv, goltv, foxsoccer, speedchannel, africachannel, all the discovery channels, all the mhz channels and all the pbs channels - my all time fave shows are noah's arc, cosby show, absolutely fabulous, keeping up appearances and coupling [british one not the american one]
so much to read, so little time, sigh
nonconformists and trailbazers and nelson mandela [anyone who can endure all that, not be bitter, and take the stand of "forgive them, let's see how we can all move forward" has my deepest respect!]
