How do I protect my kids?!

The other day Subhash and I were watching some Indian music videos on Sify's channels. Boy! What ARE they trying to send across. This video was called Lady Bichua, and it was the most attrocious video I have seen to date. I am playing safe and saying its one of the most attrocious videos I have seen as I don't know how many more are out there. But this video made me twitch in nausea seriously. The obscenity totally lacked any sensual touch, the profanity was uncalled for and the promiscuous behaviour totally perpetrating the lesson of cheating on your partner! Why in God's name do they make videos like this I know not! Entertaining the audience is the last thing it did. Sensuous was the last thing it was. Nauseating IS the word for it. I guess the only people who would be affected by this would be pre-teen kids and in all the wrong ways!

Ahem! for Indian music videos and the way they are going! And god bless my to-be kids! I know not how I will protect them from all these media assaults:((

What a drive!!

One of my colleagues forwarded this email on one of our mailing lists. This guy has to have SOME DRIVE to drive all the way;)

Cisco engineer gets prize for longest commute
Wednesday April 12, 1:36 pm ET Mariposa resident Dave Given makes a 186-mile drive -- each way -- five days a week to his job in San Jose.The electrical engineer has been doing that commute since 1989, spending seven hours every day getting to and from work at Cisco Systems Inc.

Given is the "ultimate road warrior," according to Midas Inc. (NYSE:MDS - News) and drove home with its first-place prize in the nationwide search for "America's Longest Commute." Givens out-drove thousands of other entrants to take home $10,000 in gas money and a range of maintenance services and products.

"I have a great job and my family loves the ranch where we live," Givens said. "So this is the only solution."

On his long trek he said he listens to the radio, keeps his eyes on the road and drinks "a lot of coffee."
