So its like day 9 here in Mumbai. You must be wondering what happened on Day 1 and 2. Well we were seriously jet lagged. We took a flight from Montreal to JFK. From there, we flew to Dubai straight on a 12 hr flight. Now that was crazy, although the airline is amazing! We got footage so don’t worry about that. Stay tuned on Youtube, lol. But we watched soo many movies, felt like a judging committee for the Oscars! We then landed in Mumbai, and god dyam, talk about traffic and straight to our condo/hotel. I know New York has traffic but these guys have skills! That’s all I can tell you!So on Oct 7th it was Kashif’s birthday, so we celebrated in style, we went to McDonald’s! The menu is really desi friendly. Saturday, we headed over to China nightclub, and wow was it nice. Music was mostly house and the hiphop selection was alright! Girls were blazin’ that’s all I can tell you. Rocky S (the Indian fashion design who did Pussycat Doll’s outfit) came through and so did Hard Kaur. Now back to day 9, we’ve been all over Mumbai, thank god for our SUV driver with A/C. Its amazing to see the contrast of rich and poor here, but recently there’s been a big rise for the middle class. We’ve just been through meetings and more meetings for movies with Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek, Karan Johar films it’s just been nuts. So keep it locked, we’ll send you more love from Mumbai, and for now, make sure you guys go and vote for our Sean Kingston remix!

This is very much evident through Shahrukh Khan’s character who continuously is talking about facts of things that are small and very detailed. My most favorite ... continue
