(I knew I should have bought some tequila in Mexico...)<br /><br /><b>123 123/Joan Stepson</b>, I am glad you liked reading about my New Year resolutions. If you really want to read more about that theme, though, you will have to stick around till next New Year!<br /><br /><b>sunheriyaadein</b>, making resolutions doesnt cost a dime. Sticking to them, thats a completely different matter altogether! Still, acknowledging that we have a problem is the first step towards solving it. ;-)<br /><br />"<i>Listen to or sing or sing along at least one Rafi number everyday</i>" - Thats the best way to brighten up a day!Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-86438418801501843332010-01-15T20:06:24.885+01:002010-01-15T20:06:24.885+01:00Happy New Year to you too!!!

That was a great list of resolutions :-)<br />I guess we all suffer from the same problem of buying more and more dvds when we already have a huge pile of unwatched movies. <br />I really like #1.

I was thinking that Nayi Sadak might have some useful old-books stores, but its so long since I went looking for old books in Delhi that I am not sure where to look anymore! Next time I come to Delhi, you and I can join forces for our magazine-hunt. :-)<br /><br /><b>Filmbuff</b>, DVD-hunting when in India is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. What if you want those DVDs when you are not in India? You'd land up paying a small fortune in shipping! A <i>raddiwaala</i> would be an excellent place to start looking, though I have a feeling that most old film magazines have been used up to serve nuts and roasted chana long ago!Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-84738999523566355422010-01-11T00:24:45.757+01:002010-01-11T00:24:45.757+01:00Happy New Year Bollyviewer.

Will go back to Delhi on February 1. <br /><br />I've been meaning to look for old film magazines in the Daryaganj book bazaar: that's one place they just might be available.

I think that would check my buying sprees - like the public library has checked my book-buying sprees so far!<br /><br /><b>Beth</b>, I just acquired a pair of ginormous sun-glasses and one bright floral-print top.

Yessterday I saw a 1971 issue of <i>Star & Style</i> up for sale for US$120! Next time I come to Delhi I will try to hunt for some of those magazines, sell them on ebay for a fortune, and become rich! ;-)Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-82484790043278294852010-01-09T07:54:11.913+01:002010-01-09T07:54:11.913+01:00Heh :-D

My resolution for the year, as far as cinema-watching goes, is to fit in a lot more international cinema into my schedule. Needless to say, old international cinema, esp. Kurosawa. <br /><br />...And to find (and procure) some good old Hindi film posters. I'm saving up for that, and plan to go scrounging as soon as I'm back in Delhi!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-59425084934700093782010-01-08T18:42:15.936+01:002010-01-08T18:42:15.936+01:00A very Happy New Year to you, bollyviewer!
