Lunch time dance party: “Chammak Challo”

I just got back from two weeks in India. My trip, which was mostly play but a little bit of work, was thought-provoking, and I hope to write about it here a little in the coming weeks.

However, because of the ten hour time difference, my body thinks it’s party time right now. Specifically, it’s Bollywood dance party time.

With that in mind, I give you Shahrukh Kahn and Kareena Kapoor in “Chammak Challo,” from the movie Ra.One. (Also, Akon. Did you know that Akon is big in Bollywood at the moment? Now you know).

Eat your sandwich, grab a few coworkers, and break it down.
