SIMRAN. Director: Hansal Mehta. Players: Kangana Ranaut, Hiten Kumar, Kishore Shahane, Sohum Shah, Rupinder Nagra, Aneesh Joshi. Music: Sachin-Jigar. Hindi, Gujarati and English with English sub-titles. Theatrical release (T-Series).
Praful Patel (Ranaut)—Praf to her friends, please—has a somewhat unconventional outlook when it comes to her job, living arrangement, vacations, spending money and, as we learn, how to settle her debts. Living in Atlanta and on the market for a new house— more about how to pay for that house in a minute—Praful takes up a friend’s (Joshi) offer to visit Las Vegas on a shopping and a gambling junket. What starts out as an opportunistic funfilled extended weekend in Sin City turns into something quite different. In Simran, however, force-fitting the American dream into pretty much absurd, anachronistic choices—while it sounds promising—falls short in the delivery.

On Feminism
It has been eight months since I started my MFA at Bennington College. In the last eight months I have cooked half a dozen meals. I pack my children lunches and I clean up the kitchen after my husband when he makes dinner for the family after he comes home from working in a Silicon Valley tech company. Cooking has never moved me. Motherhood has—but not the baggage of social dos and don'ts that accompanied it. I have done fewer play dates than the meals I have cooked in the past few months, and I rarely go to a birthday party. My husband takes the children to their social engagements. “But is this fair?” you might ask and I answer, “It is not about fairness, it is about what moves you as a person and how to keep that flame of what keeps you alive, burning within you, while negotiating roles in an adult world that still largely favors men over women.”

Who Was Enid Blyton?
Raised in and out of India, I don’t remember reading too many Enid Blyton novels—barring those from the Noddy series. I knew, though, they were all the rage among girls—mostly girls. They’d spend hours reading them and like fish in a school, prattle over what they’d read over their lunchboxes.
