High School Musical gets down to Bollywood
Here is the excerpt from the YouTube post, which sums it up:
It's really interesting that HSM is shot exactly like a Bollywood Movie. Guy meets girl, guy sings with girl, guy has inner conflict, guy loses girl... and last but not least, Guy wins girl back!
Some of you may remember the Newark Airport debacle with Shahruk Khan?

President Obama's Diwali Message
President Obama had recognized the Hindu in his Inaugural Address and now acknowledges one of the biggest Hindu holidays.
Here are some great photos and videos from the SAJA Forum who covered the 2009 Diwali Celebrations in the White House.
I have been reading some interesting posts on Facebook regarding the celebrations:
J.F. - Happy Diwali Actually there have been White House Diwali celebrations for the past 6 years - the George W Bush administration began the tradition in 2002...
J.F. - And according to Rediff, the Obama Diwali was something of an afterthought that came about after a lot of community pressure: Rediff Article
S.S. - The ceremony marked the first-time that Diwali was observed in The White House itself. The Bush Administration traditionally celebrated Diwali in the Indian Treaty Room in the Old Executive Office Building, next to the main White House. And, yes, that's a different kind of Indian.
Thank you Mister President and Sal Mubarak to you and your family, even if you were pressured into doing this for the South Asian Community.
