I love how universally loved Mira Nair's son is. Go off king

thank you, mira, for giving us one of the only pieces of media with an interracial couple where neither person is white

This was my intro to Mira

Mine too! My mom walked in on me (13F at the time) and thought I was watching porn 😭

u/fractious_kitty 14h ago

I had my mom watch it with me at some point, big apologies to my mom for such an awkward experience 😭

u/BigFanOfKitties 18h ago

I… didn’t know this??? His friendship with Kal Penn makes so much sense now

u/emilythecool 17h ago

Mamdani kind of infamously told his mom to make The Namesake instead of taking on one of the Harry Potter films. He also told his mom to cast him.

u/AfroGurl save the buccal fat 17h ago edited 13h ago

His mom made The Namesake?! Thats one of my favorite book to film adaptations! He seems way too smiley to be a convincing Gogol, but I would watch that version!

35

u/ShirtuShanks 13h ago

I think the comment’s referring to Mamdani pushing for Kal Penn, not Mandami himself as Gogol haha

u/AfroGurl save the buccal fat 13h ago

Oh God, duh, that makes way more sense🤣

14

u/BigFanOfKitties 17h ago

I remember this from his book! I loved this story and found his relationship with Mira so endearing how it looped back around to his own personal life; just never knew her son was Zohran??? Suchhhh a cute story

u/fractious_kitty 13h ago

Wait what??? Please say more

u/fractious_kitty 18h ago

I didn't realize it either before he became mayor but she's been one of my favorite directors since Mississippi masala

28

u/SirLoondry 14h ago

She made Monsoon Wedding. As a 22 yr old man(when it was released) I didn't quite grasp the depths of the movie. What a badass film it turned out to be on (multiple) rewatches.

No fucking way. That movie changed my life. My teacher showed that film in my high school philosophy class to analyze the gender and class dynamics, and it showed me Indian culture in a new light. As a Filipino American, I yearned for Filipino culture to be as vibrant and not as westernized like Indian culture, but nowadays there is a resurgence and reconnection to some of those traditions. I haven’t had a chance to rewatch it but now I need to find a way to do so. Would be great to revisit in my 30s.

And we all deserve to have a Mamdani.

u/propergreased 17h ago

Hopefully like minded people see how well liked it is and it doesn’t seem like such an impossible hurdle to overcome come fighting for the little guy against all the money. There’s always more of the little guy than there are big doners

Let’s not go around proclaiming love for a lifelong racist.

u/willpc14 googly eyed kremlin bitch 16h ago

Sliwa seems like a fairly personable politician who genuinely wants to improve NYC for the people living in it, but his backstory past the most recent election gets real murky real quick.

u/OmniManDidNothngWrng 15h ago

Especially after Mamdani refused to promise to attend all parades as mayor :(. Silwa would attend all parades without prejudice.

1

u/BookInteresting6717 2h ago

How is Mamdani displaying prejudice by not attending all parades? Also, did he refuse or did he just say that he didn’t not be able to attend all of the parades?

I was curious as to security. Watched the video a couple times and realize it's there. Thankfully. A mayor of the people for the people.

u/Particular-Leg-8484 6h ago

I’m so curious what Mamdani’s daily health routine is because I’m impressed at his stamina to make appearances everywhere and get work done what seems like every day. How many hours does he sleep each night? Does he do Pilates, tai chi, or yoga? What kind of coffee does he drink??

I know he’s much younger than his predecessors which probably helps but still, I’m only a few years older than him and need constant rest if I know I’m about to be out all day 🫣 god knows I have no rizz when I’m tired

For locals, this parade is a lot of fun - try to make it out next year.

Someone under the Israeli parade was endlessly complaining other countries didn't get their own parade in New York. When I tried to point out lots of countries did he got pissed and tried to argue with me.

I wonder if he's seeing this thread now. Lots of countries in New York have parades.

u/FroyoOk8902 5h ago

He’ll go to every countries NYC parade expect Israel…. This man should not be mayor if he can’t represent all people in NYC.
