'The Panorama' is also the last place anywhere in New York where the World Trade Center still stands, whole, as it stood in the early morning of September 1 I can also see the corner where I saw the first tower fall and howled out loud. Seeing BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Princess Bride' is one of my favorite movies of all time. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Simpsons' was about children and married parents; 'Futurama' is about people in between; they're growing up and haven't settled down. Every other cartoon show seemed to be, you know, dumb dad, bratty kids. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Slap' is not like anything else. It's an incredibly well-written novel that has been turned into a great and intriguing series that reveals both less and more about each character than you learn in the book. It's a novel that has been giv BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Sopranos' is filled with really retrograde humor. Bathroom humor, falls, stupid puns, bad jokes - infantile, adolescent stuff, but it makes me laugh. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold' was the work of a wayward imagination brought to the end of its tether by political disgust and personal confusion. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Story of Us' is about running into someone I had been in a relationship with at an awards show, and we were seated a few seats away from each other. I just wanted to say to him, 'Is this killing you? Because it's killing me.' But I didn't BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Sundial' is written with the kind of humor that would make a guillotine laugh. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Taxi Ride,' from my second album, is one people want to hear a lot. I'm consciously trying to walk on the sunny side of the street, to really lift myself into a place of greater positivity, and that's a sad song. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Thing from Another World' was the first movie that really scared me. But the one that made me want to make movies was 'The Tales of Hoffman.' That's my favorite film of all time. It's a fantasy film. It's an opera. I never get tired of it. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Third Man,' directed by Carol Reed and written by Graham Greene, is, quite simply, one of the finest movies ever made. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Victorian Internet' is a must read for anyone interested in the history of technology and in the cycles of hype, boom, and bust that seem to only quicken with each new wave of innovation. Highly recommended. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Voice' gave me a chance to show people the side of me that is an artist. People didn't know what that would look like or sound like. It allowed people to see that potential. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The Waltons' was profoundly important after years of wandering around. I was 44 and cut off from family and friends. It nurtured me back to a sense of family and who I am. It was a transforming experience. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//

'The White Woman on the Green Bicycle' is a love story mapped onto an unfolding political tragedy: that of the failure of the Independence era in Trinidad. BG2 SHERNI PRIYANKA //__Tirth__//
