this is the stupendously dull story of how a single picture of an averagely attractive person can slightly alter one person’s outlook on a entire movie culture. this photo started a chain of thoughts and actions that lead to my watching my first kannada movie ever. it was called pancharangi and it was actually ok. 

went something like this (the chain, not movie):

• see picture on tumblr dashboard.
• he looks good. what’s his name?
• what a weird name. google: “diganth”
• oh kannada =( 
• youtube: “diganth” (search option>upload date)
• why do i understand every word? 
• WHOA this is like a tamil and telugu mashup
• my people!
• ayo the entire movie is on youtube.
• hmmm it’s 3am.
• he is cute.
• 5:30am. that was actually ok.

i can reasonably understand most major languages from india (yea there’s more than just indian), especially southie ones. but there was something about kannada that i irrationally didn’t like. idk why, really. just didn’t have much respect for their movies/music or anything. and now i think they’re like everyone else. progress. 

hah makes me sound so terrible. sorry kannadigas, you’re good people. i’m just not big on yer movies. except him. he’s ok.
