Ra-One was not so good

I was really looking forward to this movie, as I like Shahrukh and I like sci fi. But this just didn't connect with me. I thought some of the special effects were wonderful. the scene in the junk yard was amazing. but over all, the story just lacked the depth that I have come to expect from a good Bollywood movie.

It was cute, it was fun, but the answer was just too pat and so it wasn't very emotionally movie. I suppose it's a sign of refinement that I've finally seen a Bollywood movie that didn't knock me off my feet. But this one didn't. It was just ok. Maybe it was the lack of really good dance numbers. The main sequence was at a party and it was out of character for our lead - totally out of character. The main character isn't even Ra-One - that is the name of the bad guy. So, yeah it just didn't connect. It didn't help that Shahrukh is not the best of dramatic actors.

Now, had the opening sequence been the actual movie - that would have been cool.

Gel vs. Powder

The Samsung Dishwasher of My Dreams

For years now I have been using dishwasher gel in my dishwasher. Never thought anything of it. Seemed easy and cleaner to use.  The quality of the washing my dishwasher was doing we steadily declining, but given that my dishwasher is over 10 yrs old, I figured, it's just an old dishwasher.  I probably just need to get a new one.

Then, my relatives came to visit and someone bought dishwasher powder packs - you know the type, comes in a dissolvable package, just the right amount for your dishwasher with a little jetclean thrown in for good measure.

Well, after using that at home for just 2 weeks, It's like I have a brand new dishwasher again. The dishes are coming clean, the machine is doing a better job and I no longer think I need a new dishwasher anymore. Pretty happy with the one I have. Granted, it would be nice if it was quieter.

I'm writing this post to let you know if you are experiencing the same thing as I was, change your detergent and use the powder stuff. We aren't going back to gel because the difference in the quality of the wash is stunning! Very noticable
