Have any problems???

I don't know if it has been happening in India, but here in US, lately there is a new group of (???) that recently emerged out of no where.
If you are watching Zee TV here, you know exactly what I am talking about. Peer Sayeed Sahib, Baba something something...I can't even remember the names.... but there are bunch of such crooks out there who have found a new strategy to fool people here in US. Some of them are even becoming sole sponsors of some shows - I think Peer Sayeed sponsors ‘Kareena Kareena’. All these people claim to bring an end to your worries - some claim to do this within 24 hrs - GAURANTEED!!!! The worries could be of any kind - martial problems, business problems, kids giving hard time to their parents (no joke!), could not marry someone you love (huh) - they have answer to each & every problem - u name it, and they have the solution. How insane is that?
The sad part is, that I am sure, there must be people who are getting fooled by this entire hoax. Now I don't know about others, but I really think that what they are doing is so lame. All I could say is that they need to get a life and that Zee TV needs to stop telecasting such ads. And the funny part it, that these people have so much money, that every other day they have a new ad.... so I believe that people are actually believing what they are saying and contacting them!
Whom are they really fooling???

Scott Peterson to be sentenced to death & a new song.

Scott Peterson was sentenced to death this morning by a California judge. The judge had a choice to either sentence him to death or to give him life in prison. He chose to sentence him to death!
For those of you who don’t know, Scott Peterson was being convicted for the death of his wife and an unborn child.
Laci Peterson was eight months pregnant when she was reported missing from her house in Modesto, CA on Christmas Eve in 2002. The police along with the family started searching for her. The police had an umbrella of suspicion on Scott Peterson. Scott Peterson told the police that he was on his boat fishing at Berkeley Marina that day. Laci Peterson’s body was found washed (with the feats) on the shore in April 2003, very near to where Peterson said that he was fishing. The police got warrant to arrest Scott and arrested him while he was driving with $10,000 cash in his car. He had bleached his hair and looked different. Police suspected that he had concealed his identity and was going to cross the border to go to Mexico.
The case took a turn when Amber Frey came forward and told the police that she had an affair with Scott Peterson and he never told her that he was married. She agreed to testify in the court, which she later did. She also has a book out on this whole affair now (and so many people think that she simply wants to make money and is not telling the truth).

There are still speculations out there that Scott Peterson is not guilty. I personally think that he is guilty and that he did kill his wife because he wanted to be with Amber.

Things like this make me sick. How could someone be so cruel? He could have easily divorced her – that would have been better!!

Anyways, I have was travelling yesterday and while I was driving, I heard this song 'Bulla Ki Jaana Main Kaun'. Now I had heard very good reviews about this song - but you just have to listen the song to fall in love with the music. I heard it over & over again for atleast 5 hrs - so u could well imagine:)When I heard the song, I didn't understand half of it. Even though I am a 'punjabi kudi' the lyrics went way over my head. So right when I got back home, I searched for it's lyrics and english translation:)

The song goes....

Bulla ki jaana main kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun

Na main moman vich maseetan
Na main vich kufar dian reetan
Na main pakan vich paleetan

Na main andar bed kitaban
Na main rehnda phaang sharaban
Na main rehnda mast kharaban

Na main shadi na ghamnaki
Na main vich paleetan pakeen
Na main aaabi na main khaki

Na main aatish na main paun
Bulla ki jana main kaun
Bulla ki jana main kaun
Bulla ki jana main kaun
Bulla ki jana main kaun

Na main arabi na lahori
Na main hindi shehar Nagaori
Na hindu na turk pashauri

Na main bhet mazhab de paya
Na main aadam hawwa jaya
Na koi apna naam dharaya

Avval aakhar aap nu jana
Na koi dooja hor pacchana
Mai ton na koi hor syana

Bulle shah kharha hai kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun

Na main moosa na pharoah
Na main jagan na vich saun
Na main aatish na main paun
Na main rahnda vich Nadaun
Na main baitthan na vich bhaun
Bulle shah kharha hai kaun

Here is the the English Translation of Bulla Ki Jaana


Bulla ki Jaana
Bulla, I know not who I am
Bulla, I know not who I am
Nor am I the believer in mosque
Nor am I in idol worship
Nor am in the pure or the impure
Nor am I in the Vedas

Nor am I in the intoxicants
Nor am I in the carefree deviant
Nor am I union nor grief
Nor am I in the pure/impure
Nor am I of the water nor of the land
Nor am I fire nor air
Bulla, I know not who I am

Nor am I Arabic nor from Lahore
Nor am I the Indian city of Nagaur
Nor am I Hindu nor a Peshawari turk
Nor did I create the difference of faith
Nor did I create Adam-Eve
Nor did I name myself
Beginning or end I know just the self
Do not recognise ’’the other one’’
There’s none wiser than I
Who is this Bulla Shah
Bulla, I know not who I am

If you haven't heard it yet...do listen to it.

American Idol Finalist Mario Vazquez withdraws & Fardeen to get married

...now that sure is sad:( He was one of my favorites, and he withdrew from 'American Idol' yesterday. But on the other hand, I am also glad that Nikko Smith is back in the show...I like him too. Now let's see who would be eliminated this week. I hope it won't be Nikko again - that would really not be good for him.
The other news that I just got...well, I guess I just read...is that Fardeen Khan is getting married next year to her girlfriend Natasha Madhvani. Natasha is Mumtaz's daughter. So I guess for all the Fardeen's fan's out there - one more bachelor goes down the drain....:)
