Why Bollywood is an Integral Part of Asian Culture
The two great ancient epics of India, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata have provided a foundation for the burgeoning of Indian commercial cinema, that later came to be known as Bollywood.

I have 3 categories of bands when it comes to seeing them in concert; those I have seen only once. The trusty favorites I have seen several times and those that I really want to see as soon as I get the opportunity.
The One After Vegas: Ross and Rachel wake up in bed together, remembering almost nothing about the night before. At breakfast, their friends ask them about it. Shocked, they decide to get an annulment once they’re back in New York. Ross tells Rachel he’s taken care of it, but he hasn’t. Neither Chandler nor Monica wants to go through with their own marriage plans, but each one is scared to back out. They decide to look for another sign… but even though the signs keep coming, they keep denying it. Finally, Chandler suggests they live together. Joey (who still has Phoebe’s cab) convinces her to keep him company on the drive home. He promises to make it a fun road trip, but he ends up sleeping most the time.
The One With Ross’s New Girlfriend: Rachel, ready to reveal her feelings to Ross, meets him at the airport; her plans fall apart, however, when she finds out about his new girlfriend, Julie. Chandler, already feeling guilty about revealing Ross’s feelings to Rachel, now feels worse that he encouraged Ross to forget about her. The gang watches Sumo Wrestling. Phoebe gives Joey and Chandler haircuts; Monica wants one, too. Phoebe is reluctant because of Monica’s picky nature, but finally gives in. Monica wants a cut like Demi Moore; unfortunately Phoebe confuses “Demi” with “Dudley”. Chandler needs a suit made, and Joey refers him to the family tailor; while getting measured for pants, Chandler gets a little more attention than he bargained for. Ross sickens everyone (especially Rachel) with his constant gushing for Julie. In Rachel’s depression, she sleeps with Paolo again.
The One With The Cat: Joey and Chandler agree to sell their oversized entertainment center; they have a hard time selling it but and easy time being robbed by a prospective buyer, thanks to Joey. Monica goes out with Chip, Rachel’s high school prom date; unfortunately, Chip hasn’t grown much since Lincoln High. Ross and Rachel continue to bicker about their break-up. Phoebe finds a cat and is convinced it’s her mother reincarnated; a poster is found for a missing cat, but no one has the heart to tell Phoebe… except Ross.
The One With The Thumb: Ross discovers the fate of his childhood pet, Chichi. Chandler starts smoking again; when the group complains, he diverts their attention to their own faults. Phoebe gets money she doesn’t want; she complains and gets more; she gives it away and gets a can of soda in return… which contains a thumb. The beverage company gives her $7000. Monica’s new boyfriend (Alan) is a hit with her friends, but Monica’s not too sure.
The One Where No One’s Ready: Ross has an important night but no one else is ready to go. Joey and Chandler fight about chairs and clothes. Joey spills humus on Phoebe’s dress. Monica hears an old message from Richard and thinks that it might be new; she leaves him a message which she then tries to erase, but just makes it worse. Rachel can’t decide what to wear; Ross gets angry and Rachel decides not to go… unless he drinks the fat.
The One With The Triplets: The gang arrives at the hospital for Phoebe’s labor. Joey makes a video documentary of the occasion, until he is beset with pain; what is thought to be sympathy pains turns out to be kidney stones. Phoebe’s doctor is obsessed with Fonzie, but Ross’s attempts to find a more satisfactory doctor only yield a very young looking resident whom Phoebe won’t accept. Rachel tries to set Monica and herself up with two male nurses, which causes problems between Monica and Chandler. Joey can make everything (even grandma’s chicken salad) sound dirty. Phoebe wants to keep one of the babies and manipulates Rachel into asking for her. Instead of two boys and a girl, Phoebe has two girls and a boy. Joey passes three kidney stones.
Night Court (1984-1992): ‘Night Court’ was ruled by Judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson), a magician who was as charming as he was goofy. And that made him the perfect foil for hookers and other hard-luck cases who passed through his court, not to mention womanizer D.A. Dan (John Larroquette).
Soap (1977-1981): So scandalous at the time that ABC received thousands of letters of protest before it even debuted, this soap opera spoof included one of the first openly gay TV characters (Billy Crystal’s Jodie), murder, the Mafia, demonic possession, alien abduction and several (some unresolved) cliffhangers.
