Mystical India

Tens of thousands of gods to worship, hundreds of thousands of places where to worship, caste system still active and kicking, girls unwanted, servants using their own doors and elevators, everyone saying that the servant quarters definitely does not need a shower. The servant quarters is usually a small room in basement with a toilet somewhere nearby.

I just watched Lagaan, the only Indian movie in BBC's list of 50 movies to see before you die. Great film. Three and half hours, like many other Bollywood movies. Story is about a cricket match between a rural village and Brittish rulers. The plot touches a lot of key traditions, culture, history and mindsets. Highly recommended.
