Today in Backyard Geographic, we were visited by a pair of California valley quails.🐦
Good morning to everyone, but especially this hummingbird who has adopted my backyard.🏡🐦‍⬛

Drove from Gary to Chicago for the first time today (I’m not from the Midwest). Absolutely shocked at the incredible lack of development. Just mile after mile of water, not a single building/road, in what’s probably a very high value-per-acre area. Time to drain Lake Michigan!
Drove from San Jose to SF for the first time ever today (I’m not from California). Absolutely shocked, floored, etc. at the incredible lack of development. Just mile after mile of trees and hills, not a single building or road, in what’s probably a top five value-per-acre area. I see why people are mad about NIMBYism now…

Riteish Deshmukh’s best dialogue in a comic role:
"My popularity in Maharashtra rivals that of Thalapathi Vijay in TamilNadu. But I won't step into Politics as the public will judge it as nepotism." - @Riteishd. Do you agree with him?

I understand the backlash to all this bootlicking, but then YRF gave a new lease of life to Big B’s dying career with Mohabbatein (2000) and also kept his mid-actor son employed in the 2000s. So thodi loyalty toh banti hai.

Find a school bus in the morning and just get on it.

So what's your point? you want her to be circumcised too? i don't understand why you're comparing, it can be two separate things can't they?

Alia’s Alpha will be an all-time blockbuster… …in the home theaters from Juhu to Bandra.👇
If Alia's Alpha movie flops even after so much PR, I will see it as a Win for Humanity.

Anupama chopra - The Nepo Kid lover and who bashed Dhurandhar and Aditya Dhar got bashed by Shahid Kapoor live!! Anupama chopra : "There is a paid negativity campaign against "Alia Bhatt" during Cannes and alpha. Shahid Kapoor : "This is social media era you can't fake things anymore, actors should be real , not insecure and jealous. People get angry when u try to manipulate perception of yours anymore" Muh pe Fake, Insecure aur Jealous boldia!! She never expected this answer for her lovely Nepo kids of bollywood!!

“The plot is convoluted and the dialogues are pedestrian, but its heart is in the right place, and Alia Bhatt carries the film on her able shoulders with steely resolve. Alpha worked for me. Go check it out at a theater near you.”

During paid negative PR before Dhurandhar release: “It’s the public’s reaction. Audience won’t like the film.” When people actually don’t like the Alpha teaser: “bOlLyWoOd sO sElFiSh. cHeAp tAcTiCs. aLiA bHaTt sUpErStAr.” The only thing paid right now is your tweets, bud.
HUGE PAID NEGATIVITY seems to have been activated against the TEASER of #Alpha 😳👎🏻 No wonder Bollywood keeps struggling when some people only want THEIR films to work while hoping every other content fails. Such cheap tactics! But time changes, tides turn… and good content always finds its audience 🙏🏻💪 All support to @yrf and SUPERSTAR #AliaBhatt for this one ! HIT HAI BOSS✅

In Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh’s character was required to be circumcised to ensure his Hindu/Sikh identity isn’t revealed. In Alpha, Alia Bhatt’s character gets a tattoo so that she can be…*wait for it*…IDENTIFIED as a spy. YRF ki jai ho.🫡

Unpopular opinion: Hrithik Roshan is a mid actor in general. He is a star because of his looks and dancing skills, not his acting.

Unpopular opinion: Hrithik Roshan couldn't do justice to the Bihari accent and his acting was mid too

The cinematography of Pinga and Mohe Rang Do Laal is so underrated. It’s actually superior to Deewani Mastani but the production design does the heavylifting for Deewani.
the vocal assignment, the outfit details, the set, bhansali kaka wasn't playing around song: pinga album: bajirao mastani vocals: shreya ghoshal, vaishali mhade lyrics: sidharth garima music: sanjay leela bhansali
