Check out some of my Mumbai photos in Instagram @indivueofficial –
Although I’ve blogged about, for example, Mumbai and India for the past 14 years, there’s still some new images for you to see.
The recent change in Instagram makes it impossible for you to see the users Instagram images unless you’re signed in to that service, so I’ll give you a sneak peak of Mumbai in Instagram here:
Here’s a new playlist on my YouTube channel. The playlist is called Indian Kitchen Rocks.
The videos in that playlist will teach you how to cook Indian dishes and the recipes and instructions are available both in Finnish and English languages. And best of all – you can enjoy these videos with the background music!
The videos in this series of Indian kitchen rocks are extraordinary in the sense that I have not photographed them. Instead the videography is done by my good friend who knows to cook Indian food and knows to cook it well. Many thanks to her. My job was to edit, translate and make the subtitles for the videos.
So, if you want to learn how to cook Indian cuisine, turn on the captions in the YouTube menu at the bottom of the screen and check these out:

Hrithik Roshan is an Indian actor born in 1974 and is very well known for his dancing skills. He belongs to the Bollywood film family and his father is the film director Rakesh Roshan.
INDIVUE has reviewed Bollywood films for over one decade and ended up recommending the following 5 films as the best of all Hrithik Roshan films so far –
THE BEST of 5 BOLLYWOOD FILMS of HRITHIK ROSHAN
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) **** The film is a romantic classic and belongs to the Bollywood must-see series. There are Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Kajol and Kareena Kapoor Khan starring in the film alongside Hrithik Roshan.
Kites (2010) **** In the movie Kites the actors Bárbara Mori and Hrithik Roshan make each other sparkle.
Guzaarish (2010) **** Guzaarish, a film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, starring Hrithik Roshan, illuminates to its viewer what life is like when a person becomes permanently disabled.
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) **** Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is a tribute to friendship, freedom and adventure and the film works best on a widescreen.
Agneepath (2012) *** ½ Hrithkik Roshan performs again an excellent role in Agneepath, though it is desirable that Roshan’s roles remain more neat in the future.
As a bonus listen to the * WAR movie soundtrack also. The film was released this week in India and there will be Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor starring in that film. What makes that film so special is that it has scenes filmed in Lapland, Finland, as well. Read more about Finland from the link attached and read this article about Hrithik Roshan in Finnish here.
