This video is one that I made for a fundraiser show by AID (Association for India’s development).
AID is a non-profit organization that brings together volunteers and aims to empower the poor and the needy in India through projects in literacy, health care, rural development and women’s empowerment in all the regions of India. AID currently has 41 volunteer-run chapters across the US, funding and supporting hundreds of projects and major programs in India.
As a part of the Philadelphia chapter of AID I actually had the opportunity of making this video with inputs from the other wonderful members of our team. The event took place on 29th September, 2007 and consisted of dance and cultural performances by several professional groups, and a few video shows. I’m glad to tell you that the event was a grand success… more than 200 people turned up and we raised more than a thousand dollars!

So enjoy this video while you come to know about the activities of our chapter.
The song in background is from the Bollywood movie ‘Swadesh’.. Lyrics by Javed Akhtar, music by AR Rahman.
English translation of the song:
this country of yours is your motherland
and is calling out to you
this is a bond which can never break
how can you forget the scent of your earth
you can go anywhere but you’ll always come back
in new paths, in every sigh
to your lost heart
someone will say
this land of yours is your motherland
life is telling you
you have achieved everything now what’s left
looks like happiness has been showered on you
but you’re far from your home
now come back oh crazy one
where at least someone will call you their own
and will call out to you
that very same country
this land that is yours
this moment has hidden in it
a whole century of life
don’t ask why in the road
has come a fork with two ways
you are the one who should choose the path
you should choose
which direction to take
this very country
this land that is yours

Three macho men from the Haas School of Business (UC Berkeley) perform: Aqua “Barbie Girl”, SNSD “Gee”, Wondergirls “Nobody”, and Beyonce “Single Ladies”. The dance itself is not flawless and needs a whole lot of improvement. However, that is not significant. What is it then? It is the sacrifice of these individuals to strip their manhood to pieces and still manage to come out classified as “men,” which really won the audience’s heart. Enjoy~

Thats right, they are happy that Apple has gotten rid of a bunch of apps that they found in the app store. It appears that they do not realize that there are parental controls on the iPhone/iPod Touch where users can block out content themselves. But of course, that is no good enough for them. They are all about censorship. Here are the links to the articles:

SHARK investigators expose the cruelty and outright lies of the Clem McSpadden 2009 Steer Busting Finals, sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA).
Steer busting is the most dangerous event in rodeo. The PRCA is the only major rodeo association to sanction this obvious animal abuse. When an organization has no problem sanctioning such abuse, you may expect it will have no problem lying about it either.
Rodeo announcer Charlie Throckmorton falsely claims that the rodeo works “in complete harmony” with the American Humane Association (AHA), a flat out lie. The AHA released a subsequent statement completely and absolutely refuting Throckmorton’s nonsensical claim.
Requests to PRCA Commissioner Karl Stressman for a public retraction and apology have gone unanswered, demonstrating once again the condition of ethics and bravery of the rodeo industry — nonexistent.

Representing the WEB 2.0 era, bloggers have reached a total of 80 million in numbers worldwide, and their roles and influence in the society continue to expand, calling for an establishment of an association that will protect and promote the rights and interests of professional bloggers.
The objectives of WPBA are to establish blogger-journalists as a professional media, promote and protect their rights and interests, present new income-generating models, and to lay the groundwork for building a network of worldwide blogger-journalists. The convention’s slogan is “Open, Share, & Contribute,” symbolizing WPBA’s goal to satisfy worldwide consumers’ rights to be aware, to know, and to share information on business, product, and market, and to protect the environment by keeping a close watch over behaviors that destroy the environment and its natural order. Furthermore, WPBA intends to contribute to the development of a global culture and society through sharing of issues and cultural contents from around the world.
Fifty world-famous blogger-journalists from 30 nations representing the Americas, Europe, Southeast Asia and emerging nations, will attend the convention to discuss the establishment of the association and various issues. Majority of the international blogger-journalists who are attending are former journalists or present columnists, all leading opinion leaders representing their nation.
There will be a declaration of the establishment WPBA and explanation of the association’s objectives on the morning of the 17th, followed by a congratulatory speech from Paul Chaney, the president of International Blogging and New Media Association (IBNMA) and a congratulatory performance, finishing with a forum discussing WPBA agendas.
