Starvation Voting for Sanjaya

March 30th, 2007

Let me start this post by stating that I never watch any reality shows. I think the whole idea just smacks of being fake. Anything that happens in front of a recording camera can be anything but reality. But, that is just my view.

On the current season of “American Idol“, there is a 17 year old contestant, Sanjaya Malakar. He is supposed to be very bad at singing but has a very infectious personality. There are many many hard-core Idol fans that don’t like him being there in the final rounds of the show. One has gone as far as announcing a hunger strike till Sanjaya is thrown off the show and many have joined her in the strike. After watching the video, it is obvious that this fatso lady needs to lose some weight. If she gets off the couch and live a life other than watching TV and obsessing about it, she won’t be in this situation. This hunger strike is actually a diet plan to lose weight. I want to support her efforts to get back in shape. Just for her, I am going to do something that I have never done before, i.e. cast my vote on “American Idol” — for Sanjaya.

Friends, please join me in helping this woman by voting for Sanjaya.

Thanks, Patrix for your regular updates about Idol.

Income tax 2006

March 20th, 2007

I filed my taxes electronically at 1:30 am on Mar 20th, 2007. Received emails that my forms were accepted at 5:10 am (Federal taxes) and 11:20 am (State taxes) on the same day. I am not very happy that I am getting a refund, but it should get deposited electronically into my bank account in a week or so. Can it get any easier? Sure, if they just scrapped the whole income tax system, it will be better and easier. I am all for a flat federal (on top of state) sales tax. That will make the system extremely simple and a lot of crooks (tax accountants and tax lawyers) will be out of a job.

Tangled up in Blues

March 7th, 2007

Bob Dylan was singing, “Tangled up in Blues” while we got out of the house this morning.

Ashwini: Daddy, I am tangled up in blue, too. No. I am tangled up in blue and white. Look at my dress.

Me: *speechless*

Cricket World Cup 2007

March 2nd, 2007

My father reminded me a couple of days ago that Cricket World Cup is just around the corner. It starts in 2 weeks and West Indies will host the event. India’s first two opponents, Bangladesh (Mar 17) and Bermuda(March 19), won’t be difficult to overcome. First real match for India will be against Sri Lanka on March 23. I don’t know if I’ll get to watch any matches, but will definitely follow the games on the internet.

Here is a great ad by Nike. Click on the image to see the video. It shows the real excitement of cricket. Thanks to Patrix for the link and his excellent post.
