This past year, while my son was in eighth grade, I kept track:
Spanish, 4; language arts, 11; PE, 12; science, 14; history,
17; and math, 24, totaling 82 substitutes. I thought the annual
sick leave due teachers was for illness or family emergency but
teachers take time off to follow the NASCAR circuit or take a
vacation to Spain. This is one of the largest evolving in the
world. Entertainment always does excel in tough economic times
-- since the depression. This is the episode we've all been
waiting for — the one where the Middleman takes Wendy's
roommate Lacey out on a date. Finally, all that unresolved
sexual tension will be resolved!
This one too is pleasant but the general tone
reminds you a lot of Pulveli Pulveli ? This is why they hate us
in Vegas.
Movies are being made (especially outside the
Hollywood arena) in the regional languages which are
thought-provoking, low-budget and classy at the same time.
However, there will always be a place in Indian hearts for the
usual pot-boiler where one can turn the mind off and live in a
fantasy world for a brief time. Movies are fake, not real.
