Lidless, I had actually never heard of Kolkata until yesterday. Google always marks locations in their home tongue, so I had trouble figuring out how far it was from Mumbai heh. I've heard of 'Calcutta' for sure, but never knew it went by another name. 'Mumbai' I've only heard of in recent years, and maybe only found out its connection to 'Bombay' like last year.
I feel guilty, there is some political correctness I don't roll with cuz it's over the top, but then there are things I don't even realize I'm doing wrong. Like city names. Of places with ten million people.
Boo-urns!
~random memory~ here, but didn't you work in India at some point or have a job interview? I may have gone on a wikipedia bender after mention of that. So many shiny links and places to learn about.
Yov, now I really have to see Slumdog. I think we were very much on the same page with Little Miss Sunshine and Juno, which were also considered the feel-good movies of their respective years. Hope I like SM, cuz it's always nice to enjoy a flick, but if not, it is also nice to share tastes.
