    I'm afraid I've never seen a full Indian movie to date - not even during the 25 years I lived in India. Ajeet's the man in the thick of Bollywood country - he lives in Mumbai. Perhaps he can do an imitation and post us the picture.

    Seriously? You're really missing out! I've seen a number of Bollywood movies without regrets... lol. Though, I must say, the rain scenes are always more enjoyable than the villain grinning scenes.

    A sardarji (Sikh. Butt of lots of Indian jokes) went to a cinema and watched the morning show of a movie. After the show he bought a ticket for the matinee of the same movie, and then the evening show and the late show. He did the same thing the next day and the day after. A week passed. The guy at the ticket counter couldn't take the suspense any longer and he asked the man, "Sardarji, how come you keep coming back to the same movie?"

    The sardarji replied, "There's just this particular scene that I'm after. This couple are getting a bit amorous in a field and then a train comes roaring into the foreground blocking the view and you can't see what's happening with the couple"

    "But what's that got to do with you seeing so many repeats?"

    "Duh," said the sardarji (or rather the Indian equivalent of Duh). "Don't you get it? One day the train is going to be late!"

    A life without some Bollywood is not a life worth living

    [[Edit: Part of this post split to a new thread - by Clinton on 24th May]]
    Unfortunately the market has been saturated with junk and new found "flipping" gurus who only sell crap turnkey sites.

    No offence to the guys at Flipping Awesome - but blaming the lack of views to their auction on Flippa is ridiculous. There are so many ways to drive traffic to a listing it isn't even funny. It just requires a little bit of thought. Yes, the game has got harder, but you know how the saying goes: If you can't stand the heat...

    Most of the guys who are now *****ing about Flippa sell junk anyway - so sooner or later their business model was going to be exposed, and the fact they haven't adapted or changed anything about their business models was asking for trouble - especially in this industry.

    I bet if you dug up the auctions of people who are moaning - 95% of them would sell Wordpress blogs with an average price ~ $100.

    Just my bucket of 2 cents
