love this indian dude

After nearly two hours, the anchor declared the tantrik’s failure. The tantrik, unwilling to admit defeat, tried the excuse that a very strong god whom Sanal might be worshipping obviously protected him. “No, I am an atheist,” said Sanal Edamaruku.

. The original discussion program should have ended here, but the “breaking news” of the ongoing great tantra challenge was overrunning all program schedules.

look its the primaries thread

l,r: obama, clinton

this is amazing!

thanks dude.

i might email this guy.

He chanted his mantras (magic words): “Om lingalingalinalinga, kilikili�.”

(big or small)

Now the tantrik wrote Sanal’s name on a sheet of paper, tore it into small pieces, dipped them into a pot with boiling butter oil and threw them dramatically into the flames. Nothing happened. Singing and singing, he sprinkled water on Sanal, mopped a bunch of peacock feathers over his head, threw mustard seed into the fire and other outlandish things more. Sanal smiled, nothing happened, and time was running out. Only seven more minutes before midnight, the tantrik decided to use his ultimate weapon: the clod of wheat flour dough. He kneaded it and powdered it with mysterious ingredients, then asked Sanal to touch it. Sanal did so, and the grand magic finale begun. The tantrik pierced blunt nails on the dough, then cut it wildly with a knife and threw them into the fire. That moment, Sanal should have broken down. But he did not. He laughed.

that's some shitty ass black magic, son

all the tantric force was with virender sehwag that day

I really hope that like other foreign TV hits we eventually get an Americanized version where, I dunno, faith healers and magicians try to prove what they do is real while a bemused skeptic looks on.

lol lj

"The whole program is video-recorded and is available. If you want a copy, please contact: info_d✧✧✧@rationalistinternatio✧✧✧.n✧✧"

Oh man, that youtube clip is just the beginning, the intro. At the end, it says "The tantrik warned Sanal of dire consequences and painful death in three minutes. Sanal laughs and the mantra begins. OVER TO TANTRA CHALLENGE-2"

But TANTRA CHALLENGE-2 isn't uploaded to youtube yet!

This is going to be a great night if they keep uploading.

It wasn't a great night. But now, it could be a great morning:

Sanal Edamaruku challenges Tantra Part 2

Looks like nice temple massage in there.

Swear that he says "ya baby" couple times in there.

OMG he's buttering him up like toast!

Whoa, the grand finale is up:

Sanal Edamaruku at the altar of 'Ultimate Destruction Tantra'

"Sanal Edamaruku sits at the altar of black magic ritual to kill him. Tantrik vows to kill Sanal Edamaruku by Tantra ......... Part 3 Grant Finale!!"

ZS do you use imageready?

Just Photoshop, although I'm pretty sure you can do the same thing in Image Ready.

if you love this indian dude here is advice on how to date him:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andrea-miller/dating-advice-how-to-date_b_596496.html

Before getting to "how," let's start with "why." There are obvious reasons one would want to date an Indian, such as how successful and professionally desirable they are. Indians dominate as engineers, doctors, lawyers, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. They make up a large proportion of our graduate students -- just walk around the campuses of Harvard, Columbia or Stanford or and you will see these incredibly attractive brown people all over the place. Which leads to point number two. Indian people tend to be really good looking. According to Wikipedia*, "India holds the highest number of Miss World winners, only to be tied with Venezuela." (*That feels a little like citing The National Enquirer but I am going to go with it.)

Most Indians are innately gracious, social creatures; they highly value friends and family and have a calendar filled with various holidays and occasions to celebrate, which they typically do with gusto. Those endless jubilant dance numbers in Bollywood movies pretty much channel the Indian soul. Moreover, Indian men love to dance. If for no other reason other than you want someone to dance with you (or without you for that matter), date an Indian.

solution is to not read HuffPo imo

ahahahahaha

woah. wonder if they'll keep this article up

can't wait til I bag an indian

wow:

Oh yea, I almost forgot to mention: one more big bonus when it comes to dating an Indian: communication with cabbies. Think I'm kidding? New Yorkers: Just imagine if you could stop a taxi during the 4pm transition time and your date could say, in Hindi, "Hey brother, will you please take us to Spring and 6th?" You'd find Laxmi did indeed smile upon you.

(currently known as my husPad, thanks to his appropriating the iPad he "gave me," -- but that is another column)

^^^ secretly the best line?

omg

Prior to launching Tango, Andrea’s career was in finance and consulting, including positions with Goldman Sachs, ICF Consulting and Enron’s international finance team. While with Enron, Andrea was based in Mumbai, India for three years.

i have to say--i have some kind of weird affection for this article because she is just totally oblivious--like she just dngi

i mean "affection" in quotation marks, its just, its not like some kind of "im just saying what everyones thinking" or like "i dont mean to sound racist but" thing its just... indian men love to dance, want to marry one?

the thing that bothers me about the article is it's kind of like "look at this totally cute puppy I bought!"

I dunno how to articulate my disgust & don't really want to try as I feel like I'd be tiptoeing around eggshells, the whole article is deeply gross and repellent to me

this is very much in the same spirit as the "save money by not taking a taxi to work every day" girl. I guess they're starting a 'women in finance give cheerful advice to the world' series.

it is called "Mrs. B's Magic Dal"

the thing that bothers me about the article is it's kind of like "look at this totally cute puppy I bought!"

yeah this is the thing--i mean its not just sort of deeply racist its also... like she seems to not even understand the concept of 'having a relationship'? or 'marriage'?

but yeah "even though you don't know anything about indian food, try making it for him!" would seemingly be the single worst piece of advice for nabbing a hot piece of curry beyond, I dunno, "buy him a pakistani cricket shirt!"

This article reminds me of a girl I know, who is this really boorish & outspoken atheist, who "loooves Indian guys" because (only reasons ever given) they are "sooo hot" and "sooo good at dancing," and then doesn't get why there's never a second or third date with them. "They keep saying there's too many 'cultural differences,' I don't get it!"

http://www.theawl.com/2010/06/how-to-date-a-white-bitch-advice-for-the-non-white-dude

every girl i knew in undergrad is writing article for the huffington post now

also i am probably going to start using "With no offense to Moses, I had to agree" irl now

also lol @ "indians love food! in fact many indians will tell you eating food is necessary to continue living!"

I like the reversal of "indians are all i-bankers consultants and business executives! ... they also drive your cabs too"
