Here’s a vid thats been quickly making its rounds from India’s equivalent of, “So you think you can dance”.
If you’re wondering what instigated the whole ordeal, seems like the host went all super Simon and just snapped. If you thought Simon was tough on his guests, seems like she takes it up a few notches:

By the way the normal disclaimer applies for swearing and what not.

So many times we find Sikhs being miss-represented in the media. Whether its shows hinting that Sikhs are terrorists or just re-justifying stereotypes of all people who wear turbans being linked to terrorism in some way. Its safe to say that if you see a Sikh you’re not really educated as to them being something other then what people already think when they see them and that’s someone of Arabic, Islamic descent. You only need to go back a few posts and watch the Sikh in the Street video to confirm this.
So the other week while I was in Toronto for the weekend, I ran into one of my boys who suggested I watch this show called Sleeper Cell. As you may guess from the title, its main focus is terrorism, in a post 9-11.world. The basic premise for the show without giving too much away is the FBI tries to infiltrate a sleeper cell which plans to run a terrorist attack on the States. It seems to be a show that tries to show that terrorism is not confined to a single nationality, race etc. with the terrorists all being Muslims of different races, backgrounds etc. and that it’s an evil perverted form of Islam that promotes terrorism.
Anyways, like I was talking about earlier many Hollywood types fail to distinguish the difference between Sikhs, Muslims, Persians etc and rather just clump us all together. Its for that reason that I think its nice to see something that while keeping with the whole drama mood shows and teaches something else, anyways here’s a clip with what I’m talking about.

During the reading week, having some time to spare, I thought it be a good time to watch season 3 of 24. For those of you who have never watched this show, and really do value your time, don’t watch it, because like a bag of Lay’s chips, I bet you can’t watch just one (episode at a time).
Anyways I finished watching season 3 last night, so like with the previous two seasons I thought I’d rant about it.
Now the rest of this is a spoiler so doesn’t bother reading on, if you do plan on watching it. Also I thought it would make more sense to put the fine print at the top instead of the bottom so that you can actually read it before you continue on.
Disclaimer
Many of you may be offended by the following. Many of you will read this and wonder why you just read it. If you value your time, don’t bother reading on. If you have never heard of 24, then the following will be nothing more then babble, which has no meaning or purpose. Reading the below, will in no way get you mukhti let alone inspire you into Sikhi. If anything the following may be detrimental to your jeevan, as you would have wasted many breaths that you could have spent more productively reading Bani or studying. If you feel this disclaimer itself have been a huge waste of your time, then by no means should you continue reading any further as the rest of this post is filled with similar nonsense. If you are offended by jokes made about females, don’t have a sense of humor or are just overall a pain, then you are asked not to continue reading. By continuing to read you agree to the above terms and will not message me telling me that I wasted your time. Thank you.
I’m not sure if I liked this season more then season 2. I don’t think it was near as suspenseful although it took just as many twists and turns. The fact that Nina made an appearance was probably the most shocking, considering I thought she was long gone, but I doubt we’ll be seeing any more of her.Unlike other seasons the females in the show really redeemed themselves from the stupidity rep that they had developed in previous seasons.The Most Improved Female Award goes to Kim Bauer. Not only did Kim seem to be a little smarter this time, she didn’t cause near as much trouble as she did in previous seasons. Although she is still proving most blonde stereotypes to hold true, she didn’t directly get anyone killed this time. Actually she did mess up when Chase told her about going after her father, but then again she did come clean to Tony about it later so all in all, good job Kim.Smartest Female Award, goes to……this was a really tough one, and I think this maybe a new category for this season considering the past few seasons most the females on the show, proved themselves to be incredibly stupid. The candidates are, Nina Myers, Sherry Palmer, and off course Michelle Dessler. Taking all things into consideration I’d have to give this one to Michelle. Main reason, she made it out alive. Her going into the hotel after knowing she could have died only goes to gives her points here, but really the fact that she got away from Saunders and the way she did, really made her stand out from the rest. Good job Michelle.
Most Evil Female Award goes to….another tough one. This one is between either Sherry Palmer, or Nina Myers.
Nina Myers is just plain evil, but then again she’s like the female version of Jack. The way she faked suicide then killed all the medical staff and got away, was just brilliant, yet the gruesome deaths she bestowed on the med staff, was just plain evil. But Sherry, wow. I guess President Palmer was right, she is just a shark. Watching Milken die slow in front of her and not even flinching, then not even a minute later making up an alibi. But what really topped it off, was when she turned on President Palmer himself and tried to blackmail her way back into his life, after potentially killing his political career, evil, just evil.
Congratulations Sherry, your season 3’s recipient of the Most Evil Female award.
Most Annoying Female award…Being that we can only award one, Stupid Female of the Season award, I decided to make this category specifically for Chloe O’Brian. Now, it wouldn’t be fair to label her stupid, considering how ill she was, when dealing with the worm virus, and all her other technical skills, but I think there were multiple times in this season where I felt like telling her to SHUT UP!. Her random comments, by the book attitude were just plain out annoying. Just thinking back gives me the shivers, congratulations Chloe you’re this year’s recipient.
And now ladies and gentlemen we have come to the award most of you have been waiting for.
The candidates for this season’s Stupid Female Award are, Anne Packard, Julia Milliken, and Claudia Salazar.
Anne Packard
You can admire her convictions to doing what’s right and noble and all that, but let’s not forget her naïve ways almost hurt President Palmer’s campaign. I guess you could say, he was saved by the terrorist attack. Also for going over to her ex-husbands place without asking anyone first and knowing everything going on with him, could have been potentially disastrous. However, I’ll give it to Anne for knowing that she messed up, and just leaving the scene.
Julia Milliken
So what, if Julia’s a gold digger, you can’t really hold that against her. What I will hold against her though is the whole suicide murder. Why not just relax and think things through. Oh yea, I forgot, YOUR STUPID!! Chullo, I won’t go into further details about her, she was just dumb.
Claudia Salazar
I admire her convictions and bravery to get out alive. Heck, I was even sad to see her die, the way she did, but come on now, you know you could have handled the situation better. I guess it’s unfair to put her in this category, but alas I already typed it up, and don’t feel like pressing backspace or delete, so we’ll just continue on.
So this years winner is…(drum roll please)…Julia Milken. Not only did she complicate things for everyone, she also ended her own life. Good job Julia. I’m glad that you’re one face we won’t have to see ever again.
And that ladies and gentlemen is a wrap. We thank you for, whatever reason you had, to read through all this. We apologize but your time is non refundable and well yes that is that.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, people of all ages, it is official, Shinda Singhs popping out his own blog, with even more useless thoughts then my msn space, maybe not near as controversial since this is now public, but all the same, I bring to you, my loyal fans in attendance and the millions around the world, Shindas BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..
So now while you retie your keskis, lets jump into todays hot topic, which is (drum roll)…
Last Nights Apprentice..
If you havn’t watched it read no further. That means stop HERE. Otherwise lets talk about Randell winning ;). From the early start after watching Randell perform he was the clear choice, he just dominated. I know many of us where left upset since Season 1, when Kwami lost out to Bill, in what clearly appeared to be corporate Sabotage, (why Kwami? WHY did you choose Amorosa??) , and instantly the race card was thrown up.
Well this time originally I didn’t figure in the race card, until after I hit up the tv.com apprentice forums and saw the main thread talking about it.
From the very second Randel made his choice I was pretty shocked. Just because Randel seemed well relaxed, and he has that attitude where as long as things are doing good, why not, shrug of the shoulders laid back style.
So second he blasted on Trump for hiring more then one Apprenteice i was like….(this is public now no cursing)… Main reason I was shocked is because the hiring of both people seemed like the obvious thing for Trump. Both candidates where Super stars in there own rights, and with all the multiple firings this season you’d figure Trump would match that up with a a double hiring.
So was there something more sinister going on in the shadows? Who’s to really say, I personally didn’t make much of it, but one post which really got me thinking or at least swaying that oppinion was the one from the forum that read,
Only in america can a black hold five serious education degrees, own five business and completely run circles around a less experience, less educated white women and still be asked to “share” his victory.
So was Trump jonzed to hire Rebecca over Randel, just didn’t have it in him, or was this just part of the show? My Answer: Who cares, its TV, there not hooking me up with none of the profits, so they could both have been fired and I’d have still thought the episode was just as good..
Woooo My first post is done…..
This could be the start of a beuatiful relationship. (If only there was spell check that is)
This blog for better or worse is an extension of my procrastination and boredom. It's not intended to convince, impress or convert you to be anything more then what you already are, but if it does then more power to it. Do be warned that the time you waste on this site, will be your own and I will not in any way shape or form be held responsible in compensating you for your losses.
