Pirated Indian movies at Indian festival
We went to the Indian festival at Mt. Gravatt. showgrounds on Saturday night. For me, the night is all about how much Indian food I can gobble in one sitting. There were dosa stalls, Jalebi and 'Chaat' cooked Indian style, and various assorted curries. I had 4 or 5 different styles of Samosas itself, much to the embarrassment of Shellie. The food was generally very good and the prices were reasonable.
However, what amazed me, was the number of pirated Indian movies on sale! I didn't realize that they were pirated till I got them home and looked at the covers closely. These were being sold brazenly in several stalls and that too at an occasion grazed by Campbell Newman (the Mayor of Brisbane). I should have realized that they were pirated when I only paid $2.99 for a single copy, when a legitimate copy would have been at least $10. I just thought that they were on sale or that this was a special festival pricing.
Oh and there was dances and other cultural shenanigans on stage as well. I can't remember seeing anything over the food. :)
