Coupons To Look out!!

I have never believed  that all those coupons in ur mailbox will be really useful .
But some of them really helped us to reduce our monthly expense...like the "Great clips " hair salon coupon,dinner coupons,pizza hut ,snow bowling coupons.

PotLuck

PotLuck-This has been my favorite past time in US mostly in the weekends/festival occasion.

We,Indians dont have much options in the US for social gatherings.
So we have to create oppurtunities ourselves to mingle with people around us.

We usually have potluck with our friends in the weekends.
We plan ahead & discuss about the items to be cooked for vegans/non-vegans ..
Then having a feast ,its usually game-time.
We play lot of games like pictionary,dumci,dominoes,who- manasala who (my husband's version of vijay tv's yaru manasala yaru?")

yep,it would be a fun-filled past time.!!

Cheese Burger aka Bacon Burger

We always visit the mcdy(mcdonalds ) in the walmart .
The burger there is really gud and is very cheap.

We always eat the chicken burger there.So for a change we just wanted to try the veggie version and all we could c on the menu was cheese burger .So we ordered it.

Only after eating it , We came to know that the cheese burger here refers to actually "Bacon burger " ...!!

We had a similar experience in Taco bell where the volcano taco has in default beef in it unless u customized it for chicken.!!!

Should say that one has to be careful in confirming about the meat in the menus here.!

Watching Raavanan - Quite a Different Experience

I am a die-hard fan of manirathnam and have been counting the days to watch raavanan.
Well,reviews of the movie apart...

I watched the film in AMC on a weekday (well, the first day second show ) and OMG...there were hardly people in the theater...we are 4 ppl...other than that,there were some 10-15 ppl totally..
there was no whistles ,no one to disturb ,noone to shout cing aish (may b i was the only one to have whistled right there from my seat where ARR name flashed on the screen)...

imm..well,i was happy to watch the movie on the first day ,but i wonder whether i had that " proud " feeling of watching a hyped movie on the first day & that too in US???

Fed up of 3D Movies!!

I have been watching quite a few movies in AMC and surprisingly all seemed to be in 3-D version.
While some films really needed the 3D genre but others didnt fit into the category and seemed to have incorporated the 3D feature just to attract kids.

For example,I felt the "Train your dragon or " Avatar" needed a 3D ,but whereas "The Shrek" didnt use the technology properly.

Just thinking abt our 3D movies in India, I wonder why our filmmakers hestitate to make such movies ,lets' say atleast for children??
Lucky English kids ??!!!
Indian movies are always been hero-build up action movies,love-romance or comedy genre ..
why do animated movies rarely or never made in our home-land??
