@IdeaSmith: Thenku thenku. Very kind, you are... So you agree with me on this? Any points I missed? A few more exclamations would inspire me for my next post ;)

LOL!!! I can't believe I missed reading this post. From its title itself, I knew I was going to lurrrve it! Brilliant, funny, whacky and refreshingly different! Okay, I'll stop with the exclamation points now. Time to come up with another brilliantly witty post. :-)

@Aaman: I too thought at first that I was influenced by the movies. But then, nobody bursts into song a minute in the movies, do they?

All those 'blemors' are giving me the tremors. Seriously, Fleiger, your analysis is more appropriate to the movies than to the LOTR book trilogy.

@Temporal: Usually, the blamee is not consulted by the blemors. ---------------------- @Jawahara: Uh, with all these typos, I thought you couldn't go beyond one chuckle ;) Hence that "a". --------------------- @commonsense: You didn't have to place so much emphasis on that "e". ;)

due to the spelling, the "e" at the end of "heroine", a lot of folks in my neck of the north indian woods pronounce it as "heroineee"

Well, all this talk about typos make me 'fess up to own. What the heck is "make me a chuckle?" *cringes* Yes, Fleiger, you made me chuckle. There was no "a" about it ;-)

Can I start my political career by blaming the editors for letting this big typo slip through? ;) absolutely not (am speaking on behalf of all the editors who aren't under any influence)

@Smallsquirrel: Now THAT is a big one, didn't catch that at all. I solemnly swear I was under the influence of no artificial stimulants except coffee and sugar when I wrote this. Can I start my political career by blaming the editors for letting this big typo slip through? ;) ----------------------- @Jawahara: What started all this was I somehow noticed (after all these readings) that there are songs on almost every other page (if not every page). After that, this was not a big jump to make.

erm, Fleiger.... yes, HEROINE is the proper term used just about everywhere for a female lead. HEROIN is the term used for a street drug, thus my comment. :)

@SS & Jawahara: Interestingly, I caught that and changed before putting it on on my blog, but missed changing it here. Chocolate layer cake? Did you really have to remind me of that when I am in office? ------------- @All: "Heroin" is a popular term used in most parts of Maharashtra to denote the female lead. And personally, I don't think there is a better term than this (derived from "hero") to use in masala films. "Female lead" doesn't really cut it. -------------- @Curdrice: Where do you think the Aragorn-Arwen scenes in the movies come from?

I was looking forward to the potent "heroin" going to the villain's "layer." Mmmmm....are we talking chocolate layer cake here? Yummy. Really, where are the editors? Fleiger, this was an interesting take on LOTR despite the typos. Make me a chuckle.

"The "supporting actress" loves the hero, who cannot return her affections because he is in love with the heroin." yes, they often say that when you are trying to kick a serious drug habit that you should refrain from starting any romantic relationships. (oh, and I think in #7 you meant lair, not layer) hello? editor/editrix?

do you mean to say that all female leads are just hallucinations after consuming the heroin
