And America's Got Talent

Anyone watching the show? Any comments to share. While the tag from Neeraja is still pending, I wanted to throw some words together and build a quick post. After hearing constantly about the heat wave on news, Seattle has returned to its normal cloudy,almost raining, slightly cold self.

So about AGT, I have been watching the show this season, there is this one dance group (Indians)who danced on Jai Ho! It was fabulous, i loved it. And I am hoping to see more performances. Today there were 12 teams participating and all extremely talented but of those I simply adored these-One 14 yr old awesome singer, a group of guys dancing while wearing skates (yep skates)and an hilarious 75 year old Grandma Lee who creates the perfect comedy.

One other things I want to share with you all is the latest book that I am reading- For here or to go. Its in regional language and is basically a collection of interviews. Interviews of the first Indian immigrants who came to work in US. It gives an insight into what was the reasoning behind those who stayed here and why did some return back home. I have to sit down and write, share about what I feel after reading each interview. Each interview pushes you to think, ponder, sometimes tears just come to my eyes without knowing and sometimes I choke trying to not cry out loud. Sometimes it makes me proud reading stories of those brave people who didnt give up, who came here to test the strength in their wings and who flew to great heights. More about this book and the interviews coming up soon...
