Interesting news Mccain leading obama...may be he made a clever choice choosing sarah palin who seems to draw women and young men alike..Now mccain is copying obamas change slogan..its all politics..
Obama seems to be lost in his own inspiring speeches..may be people need to know what he really achieved last few years..Biden has long political career but I dont think I know all about his achievements..sometimes u need to market urself well..obama and biden need to shake their campaign and step up.. Biden is good choice but if it was Hillary probably he could draw women voters... Iam going to campaign for obama next few weeks if I can..
I thoroughly enjoyed watching democratic convention and republic conventions..
I had high fever for a couple of days but these conventations made me forget about my sickness last two weeks.. moral of the story If you have things that interest u , they make u forget ur pains...
I also enjoyed watching olympics and almost developed a mini crush on micheal phelps..swimming, gymnastics (Raj participating in it and winning a medal finally) interested me..
bookers prize short list has aravind adigas novel and amitav ghoshs novel - good for indians..
Iam glad there are more new good indian writers coming up..the next rushdie generation..good for readers like me..
what else..
went for a nice indian classical dance show which was beautiful and made me all nostalgic
went for circus which was nice with amazing acrobats which made me sad for animals at the circus
went for a ballet and free style dance on dreams with just music and no songs which was interesting
went for indian independence day celebrations in indy which went well
celebrated varalakshmi pooja and Ganesh pooja at home last 3 weeks and made dahi vada,jelebi, dalvada, vada and indian rice pudding at home to offer to god which came out ok..
Most of my weekdays are busy with work. too much stuff to do as usual..
Most of my weekends last 2 months just slipped away , I volunteered almost every weekend last 2 months.. temple, running 5 bone marrow drives, food drives for salvation army I barely have time for myself..
Next two months look busy too I have a huge indian cultural event Iam chairing I need to organize, I have a walk Iam chairing I need to organize..so my weekends are pretty much gone..
books I tried to read:
one night at the call center by chetan bhagat which I started reading
finally finished Salman Rushdie's Enchantress which was a pretty confusing read..not a great novel but a ok time pass read..
Brief wondorous life of oscar wao by Junor Diaz which Iam enjoying reading
Aravind Adigas novel the white tiger
Movies I watched:
Outsourced - About an american who goes to India to train indians, very interesting movie on outsourcing. cultural differences, outlook, experiences very unique view
bachna eh haseenon- ok time pass Ranbir is ok deepika looks alright, rest of the girls look too old for Ranbir.
god tusse great ho - remake of Bruce almighty another mediocre film
kismat konnection - totally boring waste of time
Singh is king- which was mediocre
Jaane to na jaane -which was also mediocre
Mansaara kanavu- with kajol aravind swami - my kinda girl and movie great songs music by ARRahman
Dil se - maniratnam sharukh manisha koirala movie - excellent movie with good songs, story, direction
krishna telugu movie trisha - just time pass
what else
next few weeks more volunteering, busy work schedules, more indian events to organize..
no time for resting, relaxing, no time for guys or friends in life. single busy working girls life who volunteers all the time..my life is becoming like the girl in movie "Amelie" or the girl in movie "Mansara kanavu or priety zintas life in movie kal ho na ho..serious studious girls life..life goes on...
my india trip end of the year is coming soon..
so much to do as usual...no time to rest or relax as usual..
