I LOVE SOUTHALL!
We are promised, 'Most luxurious 3 screen cinema', showing all the latest Bollywood and
Lollywood blockbusters. It was once the very busy and popular Liberty (Lee-burr-tee, as pronounced in Lahore!) Cinema where I spent nearly every Sunday afternoon with my family watching all the latest releases; I distinctly remember watching Bobby, Pakeezah, and a few loud Pakistani Punjabi fillums here, as well as running up and down the stairs in the halls! The other two, both further down the road, were the Century and the Dominion cinemas.
All the shows were sold out, every weekend, and whole families would turn out. During
the Interval, we would always eat samosay and jalebi, and were always excited to drink Coke from a can. The current cinema was restored in the late 1990s for £3 million, and does a good trade since reopening in 2001, although nothing like the 1970s, where
there were crowds and crowds of cinema-goers thronging the pavements at show times.
I would definately recommend a visit to Southall if you're ever in town; there is fantastic shopping here for all things desi (not matched anywhere in London, not even in Green Street, imho), you can even speak to the shopkeepers in any desi language, Punjabi being the lingua-franca around here! There are numerous mouth-watering and unforgettable food places to eat, and ample places for you to worship, whether you are Muslim, Hindu, Sikh or Christian. And every religious day is celebrated with gusto, Eid, Diwali and Holi, and all the Gurus' birthdays. The Southall Mela draws hundreds every summer to Southall Park, as well as for Baisakhi and Basant celebrations. Parking and traffic is horrendous and rush-hour lasts all day long, seven days a-week. But, you are promised a total desi experience in the the west of London. It's not called Little India for nothing y'know!

This is probably the 37th frame in the roll. I was crashing into a Bollywood concert at a community park in San Ramon. I was so out of place when I got behind the band to take this shot with my rangefinder. Good thing everybody was dancing to the music without paying any attention to my presence. They probably thought I was a hired photographer for the event.
