This is the very end, including flashes amid the credits of the movie, "Mississippi Masala," one of the most beautiful endings, in my opinion, of any movie - if you're using sweetness and joy as a measure.

I don't want to ruin the movie for anyone, as this ending will mean so much more if you've seen the whole thing, but it's beautiful on its own... so you will have to decide for yourself.

I can't be everywhere advising everyone, and you'd only get annoyed at me anyway!  ;)

It's the level and quality of WELCOME that gets me crying every time.

And the music is perfect for that openness.

If you decide to skip this post until you've seen the movie... maybe you WILL see it someday. (If you do decide to watch, click the 'HQ' button first for High Quality viewing)

Another gem from Mira Nair.

Patterns continue to emerge, I notice.

I came across this interview/performance during a search for a trailer of director, Mira Nair's', early movie: "Salaam, Bombay!"
The movie is about the life of street children trying to keep body and soul together in a difficult terrain on their own.
I can't recommend this movie highly enough.

Most of the people in the movie have no previous acting experience - though I believe India has the 2nd largest movie industry in the world. The main actor, Krishna, is definitely a novice - though you would never know it - or maybe you would - as his performance is as real and heartfelt as any I've ever seen.

There's something to be said for a fresh slate.

I don't believe he has done any acting after doing this film.

I stayed on the suggested link and listened to Ashwin Batish's song, though, and really liked it.
Maybe you will too.

While this clip is clearly a promotion for his DVD, I want to find more of his music...

I only wish the percussionists and so on were there in the studio as well.

I feel I must include this information to use this clip:
