A glass of steaming milky syrupy tea is best served cut. One by two or two by three, it embodies the spirit of sharing and camaraderie (and more significantly a resource crunch). Come, have a sip.
A nice collection of hand-painted kitschy posters of Hindi horror flicks (I vaguely remember watching a few of these) can be found here. These are scary (read amusing). A few samples:
I know Urdu..it says "loorud Bala" but that doesnt make any sense. Bala is like afat or musibat..its difficult to get the exact English word for it. But Loorud to me has no meaning. I am sure even non urdu speaking people understand "bala" ,generally you find this word in describing a beautiful woman..khubsoorat bala

Tasneem: Thanks for the input. It just could be one of those movies with weird names.
I think it’s a Pustu movie poster…have seen quite a few. thehotspotonline is a beautiful site…don’t know why it stopped.
Loorud Bala
Loorud: Bloody
Bala: Al tu jalal tu aaye bala ko taal tu
I think a rough translation would be: "Bloody Evil Spirit"
Vinayak You could be right. And that would make the title of this post a little off the track.
