I saw #GirlsWillBeGirls - 3rd time, this time @screenshotasia in Pittsburgh. I loved how #ShuchiTalati ends the film, the ultimate female bonding in Indian homes. I saw my mother bond with her sister-in-law and mother-in-law like that. It is so natural, warm, caring, essential. pic.twitter.com/JzOlJqVryQ
