"KAL HO NA Ho" (tomorrow may never come)

This has got to be one of my all time favorite movies. It never ceases to break my heart. If you are partial to love stories, this is one to see. Aman (Shah Ruhk Kahn) is dieing, he falls in love with Naina (Priety Zinta). He doesn't want' her to know he is dieing or that he is in love with her so he helps her fall in love with her best friend Rohit (Saif Ali Kahn). At their engagement party, they find out that Aman is really in love with Naina and has helped them fall in love so that he doesn't die and leave her all alone. The story is wonderful, the acting is great and the music keeps you humming for days after. Every time I hear a song from this movie I have to watch it again. If you have never seen a Hindi love story movie this is a great start. It is filmed in New York and has so many stories going on in the background. It deals with all kinds of realationships of families. I can't say enough about it. Also, some of the finest performances I have seen from the leading characters in this movie.

Raw Food: Simple is Best!

Well I am officially starting my Raw Food Journey for about the 15th time. I have to say that I have finally decided the simple is best. I have several books on raw foods the are quite extensive but I find them to be overwhelming and ultimately they lead to me giving up. I have found a very small book called The Raw Food Primer that is awesome and a great starting point. Also, Carol Alt's book Eating in the Raw is quite helpful and you can't help but love that catchy title. So bon appetite, here we go again.
