welcome back!

phew...it was really relieving to see ganguly hit back at all the critics in his very first test match after a 10 month lay off from the national team. most importantly, ganguly pulled india out (yet again!) from the drain when "star" performers could not pull any strings. its not only been a landmark return for ganguly but it marked india's first test win in south african soil thereby joining the elite club of winning a test in each of the test playing countries. india's win was well crafted by the prince of kolkatta along with another returning star, laxman and the bowlers.
wishing india all the best to keep their heads cool to win the series to make dada's return a memorable one!

the grand finale!

there is this reality show on one of the Indian TV channels that is aired here in Singapore, "jodi number 1" a dance competition (jodi means pair in tamil). the participants in this show are popular artists of various TV programs (especially mega serials!). the show i think started about 2-3 months ago and initially, i wasn't too excited or impressed about the concept. but later on, when i moved into Singapore, and given the scarcity of tamil tv channels, unlike chennai and the repeated telecast of already aired programs, this one caught my all my attention. i liked it for quite a few reasons, the participants had been classified into 2 categories (though all compete with each other) reel and real, telecast of the making of each week's program, interviews, behind the scenes an what not!
currently the show is towards the fag end, with the finals scheduled for the next week. from 4 reel life and 4 real life pairs, the finals is down to 2 real life jodi's and 1 reel life jodi. my bet is on the reel life jodi, prem n pooja while one of the real life jodi's, raghav n preetha are most likely to give my favorite's a run for the race. would the winners eventually turn out to be the other, cute pair of vijay adhiraj n rachana?

watch this space for further updates!
