I need to get me a home big enough to have a lounge swing in it. I'm sure the set will be lovely. I am always fascinated by the colors and textures in India.
ReplyDeleteOr to have a house large enough to have Indian wing in it :) with ornamental archways and inner yards with fountains.
DeleteI like the tenderness displayed in the first picture.
ReplyDeleteIt seems the background of India as an independent nation is highly important in this movie.
They have such complicated history, it is a vast mystery to me. And so much violence too, but it is no wonder given they have Muslims within their country.
DeleteThis one sounds very interesting. I never really thought much of India as a place to travel. A coworker of mine is from Russia and visits Indian often as she has friends there. She tells me it’s a beautiful place, but would be culture shock to someone like me.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd never visit, unless you take me to a posh tea plantation with good air conditioning. I hate their food, personally.
DeleteShould be good!
ReplyDeleteOr not, BBC ain't reliable anymore.
