Every Saturday afternoon on one of the local access channels on our cable system, some dude puts on Indian Movies. No English.
They are amazing to watch, lots of color. But the singing! All they do is sing, about everything. I am walking through a door, let us sing about it...
Maybe if I understood what they were saying it would help. Still, I'll spend a half an hour watching. Social studies you know.

I never sleep any more. It is more like a series of catnaps through the day. I have been up since 2 a.m., went to bed around 11 p.m..
This is what happens to you when you don't have a life, stuck at home for months on end in pain...
Not a lot of fun. And it makes me grumpier than hell too. Just ask my kids about that.

Yes the singing (or wailing - take your pick) goes on a bit doesn't it.
But I saw this documentary last year about the spread of the cinema throughout India. As most of the villages were very remote mobile units used to travel from place to place showing films.
Another bit of information that came from the documentary was that as there were so many different dialects throughout the country, one region could barely understand another. The film men decided that it was no good using a lot of dialogue as it wouldn't be understood by the majority of their audiences.
So they told the story in song and dance instead.
Interesting what!
Just shows the fascinating backgrounds, as to how certain things which we would consider peculiar, came about in the first place.
