The next morning, Sunday, Emily heads over to her friend Kiran's house in San Sequoia. Emily said hi to Kiran's parents, and then she and Kiran head to the rec center. "Want to play simbles?" Kiran asks, and Emily nods. Kiran sets up the game, smiling at Emily. "Get ready to lose, Em." They say. "Excuse me, Kir. I'm the simbles champion." Emily grumbles but she smiles at them, trying not to blush as Kiran gives her a mischievous smile. Emily's still crushing on Kiran, and Kiran feels the same about Emily.

They play for a bit, and Emily laughs as Kiran dramatically holds up a piece and pretends to slam it down while placing it gently. "Ha! Take that." They say, and Emily snorts before placing down her piece. "Remember the tv jingle for the 2010s simbles commerical?" She asks. Kiran nods, their eyes lighting up. "For parents, kids, and everyone, simbles are simply fun!" They sing off key but enthusiastically. "Exactly, it's been stuck in my head ever since I saw a simtube compilation of nostalgic ads." Kiran grins. "You're such a dork, Emmy." They say. "Hey! I was bored and it seemed fun." Emily says and Kiran smiles at her. "No, I get it. I watch 2000s bollywood songs compilations for the nostalgia* too." Kiran says, pushing their glasses back up their nose. "Of course you do." Emily teases her friend, and Kiran makes a face before laughing.

They finish the game, and take a walk around the lake. Emily glances shyly at Kiran from time to time, and Kiran glances at Emily too, blushing and looking away when Emily catches them looking once. "I can't wait til I'm 13 too." Emily adds to Kiran. "You turned 13 this month, and so did Sara and Bilal and so many people from our class." Kiran grins. "Honestly, it feels the same as being 12.�� They say. "I know, but I can't wait to be older and my moms can let me go to places by myself and watch pg-13 movies and dye my hair purple. It feels like March 25th can't come soon enough." Emily adds, grinning. "Take it from a wise older person, Emmy, it is not worth it to age up too quickly." Kiran jokes, trying to emulate like their grandma’s accent (a pleasant mix of Simlish and Indian**). "That's why my nani, my grandma on my mom's side, says. She says I should enjoy life now when I'm living at home and a kid which I guess I get." They add, and Emily nods. "My Po Po, my grandma on my mom’s side, says the same, she's always joking that she's old as heck and I'll be like her one day but for now just enjoy life as much as I can." She says, grinning. "So both our grandmas are the same." Kiran says, and Emily nods. "Yup." She says, stopping with Kiran as they take a break, and taking out an apple from her bag to eat as Kiran looks at some birds using their binoculars.

Heya Sarah and friends! I'm still compiling the Tamil and Bollywood movies list I mentioned in this last ask

I just wanted to send this message first because I *love* all the love and thirst asks Dev is getting and I think he deserves the equal opportunity objectification that white men of the month usually get! 😂

However, I am a little squicked out by some of the language being used by your anons because it can end up becoming across as a little fetishising. It has not gotten to that point yet and I just wanted to nip it in the bud before it could!

(I really hope no one takes this ask the wrong way I just wanted to gently let y'all know as an Indian person who loves Dev too and did go on a tragic date once with a guy who had an Indian girl fetish 🤡)

you know what,y you're right and i should've trusted my gut. some of those asks made me feel a little uncomfortable but i gave them the benefit of the doubt (like maybe they were Indian as well or something) but i should've just ignored them and set a precedent. thanks for letting me know and confirming my feelings that i should've followed in the first place. and im looking forward to those recs!

Hi lovelies,

A few days ago this new Bollywood movie called Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan and John Abrahams, came out and so obviously I HAD to go and watch it. But fun fact about me is that I am literally a melting pot of different cultures. My dads family are Indian-Kenyan. My mums family were initially (back in the 5th-7th century) a family of Jewish royalty in what is now Afghanistan (which is actually pretty cool). They converted to Islam some time later and became part of a very particular Afghani tribe called the Pathaan (also another reason I had to watch this movie). Over the course of the next few centuries they migrated from Afghanistan to India, before being forced into Pakistan because of colonialism. Throughout all of this, my mums branch of the Pathaan tribe stuck together and so even still, my mum’s family in pure Pathaan, but I’m only half Pathaan because my mum married out. However, me being me did some deep diving into this because it’s actually pretty cool that my family tree can be traced back that far. Okay so at this point you’re probably wondering how on earth this related to Classics, but I found out that the Pathaan langue (Pashto) is actually about 2500 years old, which makes it about the same age as Latin and therefore a classical language! And so today I thought I would tell you a little bit about Pashto.

The Pashto language belongs to the Indi-Iranian language family and is mainly spoken by the ethnic communities of Afghanistan and western provinces of Pakistan, which is partially inhabited by Pashtuns (aka Pathaan’s). It is also still the native language of the indigenous Pathaan people. The language is said to have originated in the Kandahar district of Afghanistan and is said to be one of the two national languages (the other being Dari, a Persian language).

The vocabulary of Pashto has actually not been borrowed or derived from other languages, which is extremely rare for any language still spoken in a modern setting. Many of its lexis do, however, relate to other Eastern Iranian languages such as Pamir and Ossetia.

The exact origin of the Pashto language and the Pathaan tribes are unknown, but the word ‘Pashto’ derives from the regular phonological process. Nevertheless, the Pathaan are sometimes compared with the Pakhta tribes mentioned in Rigvenda, around 1700-1100 B.C., apparently they are the same people that the Greek historian Herodotus referred to Paktika (a northern province in Afghanistan). However, this comparison appears to be due in large part to the apparent similarity between their names, despite the fact that etymologically it can’t really be justified. But there are some archeological compilations and historical data and so the majority of researchers now believe that the Pashto language is around 25000 years old.

Herodotus also mentions the Paktika ‘Apridai’ tribe but it is unknown what language they spoke. However, Strabo (who lived between 64 B.C. and 24 C.E.) suggests that the tribes inhabiting the lands west of the Indus River were part of Ariana and to their east was India. Since about the 3rd century B.C. and onwards from that, these tribes were mostly referred to by the name ‘Afghan’ (or ‘Abgan’) and their language as ‘Afghani’.

Many historians and scholars believe that the earliest piece of written Pashto work dates back to the 8th century. However, a lot of history outside of the western empires lacks the same clarity and information and so even this is highly disputed. However, during the 17th century, Pashto poetry became very popular amongst the Pathaan.

To be honest, there isn’t a whole lot of information on the Pashtun language or the origin of the Pathaan, other than that they have been around since the B.C. But it’s pretty cool to me that my families culture has such a long history. This entry was pretty special to me so hopefully you all enjoyed it and I hope you all have a lovely rest of your weekend!

299: Aaarti Mukherjee // ভোরের তারা আধুনিক বাংলা গান [Morning Star]

ভোরের তারা আধুনিক বাংলা গান [Morning Star] Aarti Mukherjee 1988, His Master's Voice

Far be it from me to claim any expertise on Bengali music, but I love this little late ‘80s compilation of songs by Aarti Mukherjee (listed on the cover as “Arati” Mukherjee) whose title translates to Morning Star. It’s from a fairly obscure series from the Indian bureau of His Master’s Voice for the domestic market called Bengali Modern Songs—a few volumes are listed on Discogs, but I had to add this one myself. Mukherjee is best known as a playback singer whose prime stretched from the ‘60s to the ‘80s, providing the vocals for a generation of leading ladies to lip-synch to in the Bengali-language film industry (Tollywood). As with her peers in the better-known Hindi-language Bollywood system, Mukherjee was insanely prolific, having recorded something like 15,000 songs over the course of her career. Morning Star has only uh eight of those, but they’re all wonderful. Eloquently orchestrated (mostly synth, to my ear), with percussion that sways and wobbles like dub, the approach to melody seems clearly derived from a classical, almost operatic tradition, yet these are also pop songs. Opener “কোথাও একটা পাখী ডেকে চলছে” (“Somewhere a Bird is Calling”) almost sounds like samba, kissed with shakers, synth strings, and quirky whistles, a brief sitar bridge that gives way to a flourish of acoustic guitar. “তুমি কৃষ্ণচূড়া ফোটার দিনে” (“You Are the Day of the Black Peak”) is even better, with one of those smiling through tears melodies the subcontinent seems to specialize in, a perfect showcase for Mukherjee’s precise diction and songbird’s warble. “ভ্রমরে গুঞ্জরে সুরে বিভোর” (“There is a Buzzing Sound,” possibly) has a courtlier disposition, with a snaky rhythm that reminds me of Ottoman classical music, Mukherjee crooning over a sweet sitar riff that fills my head with every sandswept Orientalist trope an Occidental pud can imagine. I really can’t say where Mukherjee stands in the firmament of Indian music, or even where these particular songs stand amid her own unfathomably vast catalogue. But for whatever a recommendation is worth coming from someone only just beginning to explore the genre, Morning Star is superb.

I don't believe it...

B.O.O.: BUREAU OF OTHERWORLDLY OPERATIONS was in production at DreamWorks around 2012-early 2015. The movie was, for the longest time, set to debut some time in 2015. It fluctuated a bit, until settling on a June 5th bow...

However, DreamWorks ran into a lot of problems in the days before they were owned by a massive conglomerate (Comcast, of course)...

They absolutely needed their ridiculously-expensive animated features to do well in order to keep them afloat. For a few years, they had an uninterrupted hit streak at the box office (from KUNG FU PANDA in mid-2008 to MADAGASCAR 3 in mid-2012, a good four year run with nine movies) and all seemed well... But RISE OF THE GUARDIANS didn't meet their expectations when it wrapped up its leggy run in early 2013, it was deemed a big ol' flop, 350+ staffers were laid off, and the film ME AND MY SHADOW was cancelled and later morphed into SHADOWS... Which didn't seem to go forward thereafter.

Then TURBO lost money in 2013, MR. PEABODY & SHERMAN lost money in early 2014, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 stayed flat domestically, and PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR was fall guyed - I guess - for not making typical MADAGASCAR numbers. ($500m+ region.) DreamWorks had a very bad week in January 2015... When the executives shuttered sister studio Pacific Data Images, put 500+ people out of work, and severely cut down on the movies they were making. B.O.O. was one of those movies, and it was **near done**. Merchandise... Merchandise! Was made and sold for this thing! The stuff is out there in the wild. The DRAWING FOR NOTHING book, its compiler the account that tweeted this detail, has a whole section dedicated to the unfinished movie.

And DreamWorks execs just... Cancelled it. It was said to have had story problems, but instead, DreamWorks decided to lose $100m on it *and* proceeded to lose more money by cancelling a picture called BOLLYWOOD SUPERSTAR MONKEY. A much different PUSS IN BOOTS 2 was removed from the boards, and so was MADAGASCAR 4. These movies all would've been released before 2019, if all had gone according to plan.

So... This has to be a typo, because we know that DreamWorks already has three pictures lined up for this year:

KUNG FU PANDA 4 is out in two months, its trailer available to view. THE WILD ROBOT follows in September. ORION AND THE DARK releases on Netflix in a month... Four features from DreamWorks would seem rather... Ermmm... Exhausting for the animators? And a lot for Universal and Netflix to market?

So... B.O.O. coming out this year seems like a pipe dream. How much of it was left to finish back in 2015 anyways? If someone wanted to finish it? I'd imagine the newly-created scenes would kinda jar with the 2014/15-era scenes in terms of technological progression and such.

But... How does one of the trades make an error like that? If it is indeed one... (I'm sure it is.)

It would be the most surreal thing, though, if DreamWorks randomly decided to finish this movie some decade later and release it.

hello! would love to know what records you have in your collection.

Hey! My collection is pretty big now so I won’t be able to cover it entirely but as a general idea: the first record I bought was a 78 rpm of Dhoop Chhaon (1935). I have a handful of Bollywood soundtracks like Umrao Jaan, Guide, Anarkali, Mahal (1949), Bombai ka Babu, Dulhan Ek Raat Ki, and Meri Kahani (Ajit Singh) among others. I have a compilation of Ghalib ghazals by various singers, an Amanat Ali Khan compilation, Shankar Jaikishan’s Raga Jazz Style album, and a Ravi Shankar album. Non-Desi wise I have J Balvin, The xx, Frank Sinatra, The Weeknd, and Arctic Monkeys among others.

How to watch Sally Bollywood in the 2020s?

TL;DR: I wanted to watch an obscure childhood favorite of mine but struggled to find it. Eventually found it right there on YouTube.

RAMBLING INTRO:

During my kid to early teen years, I was obsessed with a show called Sally Bollywood: Super Detectives. I made YTPs, wrote her into a butt ton of fanfiction, and made my PfP on Sonic Amino and Wattpad an image of her. But like most things for some reason I stopped watching it, this has happened a lot with my interests as a child I would make up an excuse like me growing up, worry people would judge me for it, or deem the series as being the devil? (I still don't know how that last one got into my child-brain, it was about Yokai Watch btw). But in the past few years starting from late 2020 onwards, I have started revisiting these things. Some I still have little interest in for actually valid reasons but the important ones have all stuck around. (I.e Yokai Watch, MySims, etc) So my next move is to let Sally back in. But without Quobo the channel it was most known for being on how was I supposed to watch it?

SENSICAL:

Sally Bollywood's first season is streamable in full on what claims to be "the safest free streaming service for kids" Sensical. At first, the layout of this site confused me but once I found the search bar I was good.

This is all well and good but how do I watch season 2? Sensical excludes the second season entirely and Wikipedia has little information on it besides episode names and a few air dates. At first, I thought this meant season 2 was lost media but I have actually seen episode 11 Night At The Museum on YouTube. How did they get the episode?

EDIT: The one I found on YouTube is actually season 1 episode 7 Trouble At the Museum not Night At the Museum. Still, there are season 2 episodes reuploaded onto YouTube so still, how did they get the episode?

PRIME VIDEO:

Likely this is how. In some parts of the world, I'm not sure where the series is available on Prime Video. If you have a VPN and know exactly where it can be found then you can watch it there, I unfortunately cannot. For some reason, they do appear to be missing episode 1 and likely a few others. This will not do.

🏴‍☠️:

The full series is available on a site, just out of order... For the most part, there is very loose continuity so I suppose it doesn't matter which order it is watched but I personally hate this! Everything I watch I strive to watch in chronological order oldest to newest so for me there is no way in hell I'm watching it on this site.

Episode 1 is supposed to be Cockroach Capers.

YOUTUBE:

Finally, after much searching, I found it where I should have gone in the first place, YouTube. The official Sally Bollywood channel has every single episode in both English and French separated in playlists but also combined into hour-long videos and mixed around into compilations. All the Sally you could ever want is right here.

Another thing I found particularly interesting is their affiliation with LoliRock. This is another nostalgic show I have always loved, never in my life would I have imagined Iris, Talia, and Aurianna being friends with Sally and Doowee. The category is translated via Google Translate to: "Other friends for more adventures!". They are also both now connected to Totally Spies which I have not seen but know some people may find that interesting.

IN CONCLUSION:

If you want to watch this obscure children's show after the death of Qubo, here it is! Qubo had a very diverse catalog of shows and when it ended these shows belonged to so many different people who know what happened to them! I hope that all of them at least found a home somewhere whether it's YouTube or a free streaming service. I was so worried this would be partially lost now but glad it is alive. This is off-topic but there are four Sally Flash games I'm not sure of the origins of, I'm not sure how to get them working so that is actually lost media right there.

I do have a plugin that can make some Flash games playable again but it only works for games that have been archived. Anyway, enough rambling I have a show to watch bye!

Web Scraping Indian Film Data Can Help Get Better Insights

Introduction

In today's digitally-driven landscape, businesses constantly seek innovative ways to gain a competitive edge and unlock new opportunities. One such avenue for valuable insights lies in the vast realm of Indian cinema, particularly Bollywood, renowned for its global appeal and influence. Through web scraping Indian films data, businesses can extract information to fuel their decision-making processes and enhance their strategic initiatives.

By leveraging sophisticated techniques to scrape Bollywood data from diverse online sources, businesses can access comprehensive datasets encompassing movie titles, cast and crew details, ratings, box office performances, and more. This meticulous movies data extraction, facilitated by Bollywood data scrapers and movies scraping APIs, enables businesses to glean actionable insights into audience preferences, market trends, and industry dynamics.

In this blog, we explore how web scraping facilitates movies data collection and extraction, empowering businesses with the tools to harness the power of Bollywood's cinematic allure for better business insights and informed decision-making.

Understanding the Task

Our mission is clear: to fill a predefined data template with accurate information about Bollywood movies sourced from various online platforms. The template encompasses essential details such as movie title, cast, director, release date, genre, ratings, runtime, box office collections, and more. To accomplish this, we will rely on Bollywood movies data scraping techniques to scrape Bollywood data from trusted sources like IMDb, Wikipedia, and video streaming platforms.

The Tools of the Trade

Before delving into the intricacies of web scraping Indian films data, let's equip ourselves with the necessary tools for the task at hand. Python, with its versatile libraries such as BeautifulSoup and Scrapy, emerges as our tool of choice. These libraries empower us to navigate web pages, extract desired information, and structure it into a usable format. Additionally, we may explore movies scraping APIs offered by certain platforms to streamline our data retrieval process.

Scraping IMDb for Insights

IMDb, the go-to destination for movie enthusiasts, serves as our primary source for valuable insights into Bollywood films. We target fields like:

IMDb Rating

Votes

Genres

Release Date

Box Office Collections

Description

Runtime

Leveraging IMDb's robust database, we scrape pertinent information for each movie in our database, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Unveiling Wikipedia's Treasures

Wikipedia emerges as another goldmine of information, offering a plethora of details ranging from plot summaries to cast and crew information. We scrape movies data about:

Movie Titles

Directors

Cast

Producers

Music Composers and other relevant attributes.

Wikipedia's structured layout simplifies the movies data extraction process, enabling us to compile a comprehensive profile for each film.

Trailer Links from Video Platforms

In pursuing comprehensive Bollywood data, we focus on retrieving trailer links from prominent video platforms. By employing advanced scraping techniques, we scour platforms like YouTube and Vimeo to unearth trailers for each movie in our database. These trailers provide a captivating glimpse into the essence of the films, offering audiences a sneak peek into their narratives and visual aesthetics. Through meticulous scraping of video platforms facilitated by Bollywood data scrapers, we ensure that our collection remains enriched with engaging multimedia content. These trailer links serve as valuable additions to our dataset, enhancing its depth and appeal. With a focus on movies data extraction and collection, we strive to compile a repository that not only informs but also captivates and enthralls enthusiasts of Indian cinema

Challenges of Scraping Indian Film Data

While web scraping offers a powerful means of data acquisition, it's not without its challenges. We encounter issues such as dynamic web content, anti-scraping mechanisms, and data inconsistencies. Through careful planning and adaptation, we overcome these hurdles, ensuring the reliability and integrity of our database. Here are the challenges:

Dynamic Web Content: Indian film websites often feature dynamic content, making it challenging to extract data consistently. Content may change frequently, requiring adaptability in scraping techniques to capture up-to-date information.

Anti-Scraping Mechanisms: Some Indian film websites employ anti-scraping measures to deter automated data extraction. These mechanisms may include CAPTCHA challenges, IP blocking, or user-agent detection, necessitating strategies to bypass or mitigate such obstacles.

Data Inconsistencies: Indian film data may exhibit inconsistencies across different sources, leading to discrepancies in scraped information. Variations in spelling, formatting, or data presentation pose challenges in standardizing and reconciling the data for analysis.

Multilingual Content: Indian film websites may feature content in multiple languages, adding complexity to the scraping process. Language barriers and encoding issues require specialized handling to extract and interpret multilingual data accurately.

Legal and Ethical Considerations: Scraping Indian film data must adhere to legal and ethical guidelines, respecting copyright laws and website terms of service. Careful consideration of intellectual property rights and fair use principles is essential to avoid legal repercussions.

The Code

This code fetches the IMDb Bollywood page, extracts movie titles, ratings, and genres, and prints them out. You can further expand this code to scrape additional details or from other websites as needed.

The psychedelic experience is integral to the history of the 1960s American underground. This was the era of Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters driving around in their brightly painted bus, indulging in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, swallowing hallucinogenic potions in search of altered mind-states. Bold freethinkers led the nascent psychedelic movement, looking eastwards for esoteric and artistic inspiration.

The first musical whispers of India's burgeoning influence on Western popular music were heard in 1965 when The Beatles George Harrison added the sounds of a sitar to the Rubber Soul album track Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown). Soon everybody from The Yardbirds and The Rolling Stones to Sergio Mendes and The Byrds was reflecting an Indian influence.

During these years in India, drug culture wasn't flooding its shores, but the country was undergoing its own transformation - the 1960s saw the advent of a DIY garage band scene.

Western rock imitations seamed through with raga reverberations began to sound out across the country. The rock-zine Junior Statesmen and the Battle of the Bands competition nights held by Simla Cigarettes at Shanmukhananda Hall in Mumbai cemented the movement. Soon the seductive sound seeped into Bollywood's output with film composers mixing psych with luxuriously lysergic orchestration. A two-way path of influence bound the music of 1960s India with the West.

When compiling this Rough Guide, DJ Ritu cast her psychedelic net wide into the diaspora and the modern day. This album pays homage to the swinging 1960s history whilst forging the journey onwards into psychedelia's present-day incarnations.

Vintage finds on this album include R.D. Burman's Bollywood hit Dum Maro Dum® from the film Hare Rama Hare Krishna. In the film the protagonist, sung here by the inimitable Asha Bhosle, takes deep drags on a large chillum before dancing floppy limbed amidst a throng of her beatnik friends. Dance Music is another throwback Bollywood number by brother composer duo Kalyanji-Anandji. This instrumental explosion has an irresistibly psych-funk feel with fat trumpets, echoing electric keys and breakneck rhythm.

Other tracks on the album root the listener firmly back in the present day and launches into the music of India's vast diaspora. Sunday Driver are a merry band of musicians based in London and Cambridge. They set out their Indian shades of influence against a backdrop of Sgt. Pepper-ish Victoriana. The Bombay Royale are an eleven-piece Australian band inspired by old school Bollywood soundtracks. Ritu was their support DJ at their recent London date, a bombastic show with a stage set that included a life-size model elephant suspended from the ceiling.

Lose yourself in this collection of far out sounds — soaring sitars, tremulous tabla, distorted deep-set drones and unbound improvisations. all twisted through a rock and roll edge.
