		<title>When I yearned for lip-synching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wonder why Rahman even bothered with an orchestra (if you can call it that) during the San Francisco concert on June 2. &#8216;One-eyed&#8217; Sivamani, from the land of the blind, could&#8217;ve played the rhythm on any or all the percussion surrounding him, and the crowd would&#8217;ve still danced and cheered. Who cares if the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three in Twelve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s 3 National Championships in 12 months. Feels good to be part of some winning team. 

My favorite inside-joke sign at the game (as reported by a Gator Fan)
Ohio State University - The New Georgia  (hyuk, hyuk)

		<title>Can Super Bowl MVPs do the Bhangra?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Four months go by, you haven&#8217;t updated your blog, and then one day you are staring at something bizarre on your computer screen, and you&#8217;re like - Screw hiatuseses, I&#8217;m posting this shit.

Unless someone can prove me wrong (don&#8217;t even bother), I&#8217;m pretty sure this is Mallika Sherawat and Peyton Manning busting a move at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sampling Raja, Malaysian Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While Yuvan butchers Papa&#8217;s songs in the name of remix, a bunch of Malaysian rappers have paid tribute to a Raja classic in style. Yogi-B and Natchathra sample Madai Thirandhu on their album Vallavan. I had no clue who these guys were, so I checked out the album and some of the other tracks are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The remake of &#8216;Don&#8217; that should never have been made!&#8221;
&#8220;Don disappoints&#8221;

Funny how everyone presumes that you already consider the original a classic. Unless you are still a 10yr old living in the DD era or a Amitabh Bachchan fan, there&#8217;s no way you can survive that movie. And I&#8217;m neither. 
Speaking of bad &#8217;superstar&#8217; remakes, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spike Lee talks about &#8220;Changa Changa&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the DVD commentary for &#8216;Inside Man&#8216; - an approximate reproduction.
The song you&#8217;re hearing &#8216;Changa Changa&#8217; [sic] is a song from a Bollywood musical &#8216;Dil Se&#8217;. I am a Professor at the NYU Grad Film School and one class we were talking about musicals and there was an Indian woman, who was a student of [...]]]></description>

Yay, Rahman is back with another album. Let the superlative overload begin&#8230;
