Besides the notable exception of our Lost boy Naveen, the following nominations are only mildly desi (i.e. it’s the show or movie which got recognized, BUT the aformentioned program or flick has a brown cast member). You know, it’s almost like they enhanced this exotic soup of international Golden Globe nods with…I don’t know…curry powder? Fenugreek? Asafoetida? 😉 Perhaps they wanted to emulate the Village Voice and concoct an electric curry of sweeping overdubbed strings.
The just barely sepia aspects of all this aside, any day I get to post a picture of le hottie to the left–Weeds‘ Maulik Pancholy–is a veddy good day, indeed.

Well, that and my stellar HTML skills swallowed a few choice blockquotes. 😀
Maulik is yummy….
Hey Anna, I think it should be eka, dva, tri and cHatur………

whistles innocently
Maybe he’s just pleased to see you, Anna….wink
I have no problem with that. 🙂
Ha!
Raunchiness from the emperor of Mughal-inspired nanofiction? Who would have thought???
I wouldn’t mind getting lost with Naveen…..
i wouldn’t mind getting stuck in the hatch w/ Naveen.
And I wouldn’t mind getting stuck with Indira. 🙂
She looks smokin hot……………
wowwwwww… maulik! he’s not quite rabbi or waris, but oi vey! he’s adorable! naven’s cute, but i gottsa say, maulik is cuter. he’s got softer looks. ahhh…eye candies!
come to think of it…maulik looks a LOT like my family doctor…hhmm…
And… I wouldnt mind some hot saag paneer ,… with sizzling makki roti RIGHT NOW. chop chop.
Same here, except I’d add a nice plate of appams and chicken stew as well. =]
Oh, and I wouldn’t mind Indira, either. ;D
I don’t get the Constant Gardener/Fernando Mereilles connection to the brown
Maybe Anna’s referring to Archie Panjabi in The Constant Gardener.
nods the oracle – unbeknownst to the general public
Fernando serves very good Indian squid.
VBSF,
Dude (dudette ?) you’ve obviously missed some of the dodgier comments I’ve made in the past to a couple of our hotter female Mutineers ! Along with a couple of racy 55s I posted during the “illicit”/film noir theme a few weeks ago 😉
Pattie Kaur pahenji,
You must have fun during your check-ups at his clinic then….”Ooooooo Doctor saab…..What cold hands you have…..”
heh heh
A friend of mine gets mistaken for Naveen all the time, which is hilarious b/c this happens in NYC while the show is filming. Come to think of it, he is on a (nearly deserted) island in the South Pacific at the moment. Here’s a kind of dark picture of him:

He might make a nice substitute of Naveen is not available 😉
