Bollywood is still enchanting me. I came across this list of effects that Bollywood can have on non-indians and I could identify with so many of them!
- replacing the wallpaper pictures on the computer with pictures of Bollywood stars
- spreading the word to their loved ones saying how great the movies are
- considering Bollywood as their new Hollywood
- thinking about things which haven’t been noticed before in a different way
- becoming also fans of India
- willing to do something for the people in India to support them
- decorating their room in Indian style
- listening to Indian songs only
- feeling simply happier
- turning their life into a more positive one
- thinking differently when it comes to love
- looking forward of getting home to watch another new film release
- after six years of being online finally learnt how to chat with other Bollywood fans
- are able to show emotions more openly which was difficult in the past
- collecting DVDs, pictures, CDs and Saris
- learning how to cry which never happened in an Hollywood movie
- becoming more sensitive
- having finally found a great hobby

- shifting the addiction from Hollywood to Bollywood
- convinced that true love can really exist
- now respecting people more then they did in the past
helping people if in trouble - changing their attire to look more attractive
- listening to their heart rather than reason
- learning more about foreign cultures and being more open-minded
- considering life more beautiful
- filling the gap of a missing partner’s kisses and hugs
- becoming more aware and noticing more often Indian stuff on a daily basis
