Sia I love old Bollywood movies too. My husband just doesn't get them and thinks I'm a little crazy. Thank you so much for explaining the symbolism. I think I'd love to spend a Sunday at your house.Your dal looks wonderful. Thank you for supporting LiveSTRONG With A Taste Of Yellow.

Sia, those pictures are so tempting- I have never cooked with ridge gourd before, so your dal is a must-try for me.Your description of those old movies made me laugh. Although I am not a huge Bollywood fan, I love old Hindi movie songs, and the ones you cited are all so beautiful. I could listen to them all day.

That first picture is lip-smacking. As for songs, I'm not able to get Rim Jhim Gire Sawan and Kabhi Tanhaiyon Mein Yun out of my head for the last one week!

forgot to say , I just love love reading the first two para of this post, you are so right about the dressings of hero heroin and villain characters , brings smile to my face. Me and D both loves to watch old hindi movies, sometimes just for the simplicity of movie and their lifestyle(like movie- Bavarchi- is my all time fav. ) and sometimes for those predictable dialogs too :)).Its fun by all

Look at the colour of the dhal.. I've never tried cooking it with ridge-gourd but I've been meaning too. The seasoning on top looks so picture-perfect.
