Peace prize....all too soon??

Obama is chosen for the Nobel Peace Prize this year.Obama said:I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel committee. Let me be clear I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations. To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize.

All too soon for a Nobel??

Abhi-Ash on Oprah

Oprah called Ash one of the most beautiful women in the world and we saw Abhi had accompanied his wife Ash to the Oprah show and they even shared an exclusive on-screen kiss!!

The cute couple were all smiles and blushed when asked about their proposing and Abhi said it was pleasant on the eyes to have married the most beautiful woman.Being a fan of both Abhi-Ash,I can surely say it's another great day for the most famous couple in Bollywood to be on with the queen of talk shows-The Oprah show.

Ash had come on the most popular show in the US-Oprah's show in 2007 and had dressed Oprah in a pink saree.!!This time she donned a white and brown saree and brought her hunky hubby!!

Ganesha Chaturthi.--go green.

Vinayaka Chaturthi, or Ganesh Chaturti, is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the God of wisdom, prosperity and auspiciousness in Hinduism. Lord Ganesha is today worshipped around the world and the elephant-faced Hindu god is one of the most popular deities in Hindu religion. The 12-day Ganesh Chaturthi ends with the immersion (Visarjan) of the idol on Ananta Chaturdasi day. Ganesh Chaturthi 2009 date is August 23.
Ganesh Chaturthi is observed on the fourth day after Amavasi (no moon) in the month of Bhadrapada (August - September) as per traditional Hindu calendar.
In Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, Ganesh Chaturthi community festival is celebrated for 10 days. In other parts of India, it is celebrated for one day on the Ganesh Chaturthi day.
Hindu homes observe Ganesh Chaturthi festival for one or three days. Special prayers are performed in all Hindu homes and hymns and songs are sung in praise of Lord Ganesha.
In Maharashtra, Ganesh and Gauri Puja is observed during the same period.
In Karnataka, Gowri Habba or Swarna Gouri Vrata is observed a day before Ganesh Chaturthi.

It's wise to use eco-friendly Idols and not pollute our lakes and surroundings.Let's again Go Green this Ganesh Chaturti.
