Indian culture

Last weekend we had an awesome Indian Cultural Day. Organised by Siddharth, we started with an Indian movie, followed by discussions and high quality Indian food.

Some things that I learnt:
- India produces around 800 films a year (almost 3 per day!)
- Going to the cinema is the typical Indian program for the weekend, as it’s quite affordable. The films are the equivalent to the Brazilian soap operas and generally show an imaginary world, very rich people and a happy end.

More than that, something that called my attention again about Indian culture is how they are serene when they take decisions. In one part of the film, the boyfriend of the main character said she shouldn’t talk to other men. Instead of swearing at him, she said she needed to think about their relationship, and it would be helpful it he did the same.
