The first time Swapna and I saw the following video, we went “Whoa!”. Just follow the instructions at the end of it. Trust me. You won’t be sorry.
WARNING: NSFW!

I know I’ve been very critical of the Indian administration’s preparation for hosting the Common Wealth Games in the capital city of New Delhi. Dogs in the apartment beds, snakes in the building, roofs collapsing, leaking bathroom plumbing, over bridge collapsing etc.
Although some people say the media is exaggerating things to a certain extent, pictures and videos don’t lie. I mean, we all saw the collapsed bridge and the broken ceiling. I think the media was right in making a big deal out of this because otherwise nobody would’ve cared to fix them.
And while we all would have been proud of how India is progressing as a nation that can successfully host international games like this, the Indian and international athletes would have filmed all this crap with their personal cameras and exposed them to the world on how pathetic the living conditions are. Where will we hide our faces then?
We also saw the undercover investigation report from Mr. Duffey representing Channel 7 News in Australia. He claimed he walked into the Games Village with a suitcase full of bombs and detonators etc. and how the police didn’t stop him and how he could have blown up the entire stadium and all that.
Here’s a story from ABC channel in Australia that exposes the truth behind Mr. Duffey’s “investigation”. They explain how the whole thing was just a fake set up supported by clever editing and “acting” by the Channel 7 crew.
I still think Indian government could have handled things much better but this… this is just a SHAME.

And he looked at me and smiled. Can you believe it? A. R. RAHMAN SMILED AT ME.
Ok fine, there were 10 other people behind me when he did that but still, I swear to God he made eye contact with me.
Watch the video below to see how close I was.
What a show! What a performance! The singers were awesome. The music was phenomenal, obviously. The stage/set was stunning with all the laser shows, video projections, colors and stuff.
Man, what an experience!
An interesting incident happened before we even got to the auditorium. As we were pulling into the parking lot, we realized that everyone had to either pay $20 or have a Platinum pass to park at the American Airlines center. We didn’t have either. The policemen just directed everyone into the garage all the way from the street and there was only one way. We couldn’t pull out and leave, as there were cars in front and in the back. We didn’t know if they took credit cards (I doubt they would).
And then this man walks up to us and says “Hey, were you planning on paying for parking?”. I said “uhh…yes”. He goes “I have an extra Platinum Pass that I don’t need. Here…you can use it.”
We couldn’t thank him enough and both Swapna and I knew right then and there that this was going to be AN AWESOME NIGHT. And boy, were we right.
Where I come from, going to Rahman’s concert is most certainly a once-in-a-life time opportunity. Totally worth every penny spent. Also, this was our first concert together as a couple and both of us had a wonderful time. Rahman made sure we did.

Once in a while you come across something that is so mind-blowing that you just can’t wait to share it with others.
Just watch this video below. The statistics (not sure if they are accurate but looks credible) are fascinating.
Great music too, by the way.

Today is Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday. So I figured I’ll post something about violence.
I know. I’m bored (and going to hell).

American journalism is not completely in the sewer after all….
Mika Brzezinski has just managed to convince me to start watching the news on the idiot box again….finally somebody has the balls to stand up against this Paris Hilton madness. (ok..don’t take that literally. Mika is a woman.)
