We're all feeling the shock of the awful attacks in Mumbai. All our hearts go out to the victims and their families.
The attacks were aimed at our people, our prosperity and our peace. But their top target was something else: our unity. If these attacks cause us to turn on each other in hatred and conflict, the terrorists will have won. They know that hatred and chaos feed on division. As radical extremists, their only hope of winning is by turning the rest of us against each other.
Let's deny them that victory. We're launching a message to extremists on all sides and all our political leaders, one that will soon be published in newspapers across India and Pakistan. The message is that these tactics have failed, that we're more united than ever, united in our love and support to each other, determined to work together against terror and call on our leaders to do the same. If millions of people sign it, our message will be unmistakable, click below to sign it and please forward this email widely:

We had a great evening full of dances, plays, performances and loads of comedy! Did you miss it? Then this post is for you :) A full review of a great and unforgettable night!
Don't forget that if you want to see Fusion Confusion again and again, you only have to buy the DVDs of the Gala which you can collect at ICC between 7 and 9 pm any day :D
What was Fusion Confusion meant to be? Why did we choose this name? Well, as you all so, Fusion Confusion was all about mixing and remixing, remembering good old days and enjoying with dhamakedar new rhythms... Same actor/actress, same theme, same mood... but one new song and one old one... Isn't it promising?
Now, after preparing you for whats coming up, the show must begin! Cameras, Lights, Action!!
"Om Jai LaxmiMata..." As all our blog's followers know, Diwali is a day to pray Goddess Laxmi, so that's how Sunday evening started... Neha, Natasha, Jenny, Bhavna, Dhristi & Chandini all of them choreographed by Sanya gave us the perfect start for a perfect evening :)
Next came our chintoo-mintoos ;) Priti & Muskan did a great job putting together this Around India Fashion Show, with baby Sikhs Abhishek & Udit, baby Maharathis Hitesh & Krish, baby South Indians Chiraag & Janvi and baby Bengoli dolls Drishti & Bhipasha.
Then we had some Angalika Mangalika Jadoo performed by our kiddos Juhi, Tania, Aditya, Sneha, Ishan & Akash thanx to their teacher Nisha. After all this dancing we enjoyed with the Play of the night. Sweta & Sonu directed, Sonali, Kushi, Kirti, Dimpel & Roshni bringing us a great story about Diwali with a little comedy in it :D
If I say "Rang Bharse", what's the next thing that comes to your mind?? HOLI!!! That was the first fused and Confused theme... Nitu was able to make Eshika, Kashish, Harsh, Vishal, Aryan, Pranay, Phalak & Anjali fill the evening with colors and masti!
Hritikh and Rakesh, Akshay and Vinod, Dharmendar and Sunny, Abhishek and Amitabh, Feroz and Fardeen, Suresh and Vivek... Two generations of Bollywood actors with the bond of father and son... Guess one that's missing? Rishi and Raanvir Kapoor!! And Eshna, Rohan, Rishi, Anushka, Khrisha & Jaiom, choreographed by Namrata, made this possible.
Isn't it really very bad that when you have a "Haseena Zulfo Wali"the only thing your friends tell her is "Papu can't dance sala"? Pratik, Purab, Barkha, Ashwin & Gargi know that and if it hadn't been for their faboulous dance, we wouldn't have known ever ;) One thing couldn't miss this evening... Boy falls in love with girl; girl has to marry someone else; boy promises to take her with him ;) Any two song in mind? Well Kiran, Swati, Manav, Kusum, Saurabh, Sahil, Gayatri & Ruchika thought of "Tenu Leke" & the always heart filling "Mehndi Laga ke Rakhna"
Have you ever fallen in love? Sometimes you fall in love, but don't realize until you here one of these songs... It all depends on your generation ;) On one hand, we have Karishma Kapoor telling us her heart was stolen suddenly and on the other we have Amritao Rao feeling the wind changing around her... Sanya did a lovely coreography with Vanshika, Devisha, Heena & Kareena making us all feel that "Love is in the air"
Seeing all this fantastic night, Munna Bhai told us: "Kya mamu... Apun ko bhi yahaa participate karne ko mangta he. Apun bhi jhakaas latke jatke mar sakta he. " So Kushboo, Mohit, Goldie, Hitesh, Tarun & Simran got together and did a Rapchik Tapori fusion confusion item ;)
And before a more than needed break, Rima choreographed Jayesh, Disha, Deva, Deepali, Sonali, Mohit Sonia, Chavek & Vivek and made us "move our body" and go for some samosa-pakora singing out loud "Moja Moja" After our first break we started with loads of comedy thanx to our policemen Sonu & Dheeraj... And after the first laughter fit we were able to enjoye with Muskan and her wonderful Guitar Concert. International beauty, not only Bollywod actress but even starring in films in Hollywood... Our new Pink PantherAishwarya Rai has offered us great songs and Roshni, Pooja and Sonia thrilled us with these rhythms! From one beauty to another one... And she's really confused us on Sunday... First, she tells us to "Just Chill Chill" but then, she makes us Race around... Vidhi made Karuna, Janam, Sonia, Priyal, Mahima & Shriya rock with Katrina Kaif's songs
And we all know that there is no two, without a three and to comply with that we enjoyed two fused songs of the dashing Bipasha Basu thanx to Meenakshi, Deepika, Roshni, Riya & Dipti.
After all this flabbergasting performances, we needed something a bit more calm... Kushi pleased our ears with a wonderful Piano Performance. Well done!
Disha, Monica, Romina, Natasha, Juhi & Barkha made us shake our bodies with two songs from two all time divas: Parveen Babi & Shushmita Sen with Javani Janeman & Mehboob Mere
Obviusly, we couldn't forget Bollywood's favourite all time dancer... Madhuri Dixit, a woman, that even beeing in her 40s she can't stop telling us to "Aaja Nachle" with her! Deepali, Neha, Kirti, Ayesha & Gina invited all of us to dance with them with the guideance of Sonia
Does anyone of you know who is the Cutest Vegetarian in a poll conducted by PETA?? Of course it is the bombshell, Kareena Kapoor with whose song Milan, Shriya, Bhavika, Nishika, Muskan Sharina & Melissa coordinated by Kavita made our man and ton go dole, dole ;)
Remix, remix, remix... What would the new generations do without the Great Remixes of the all time classics? Suraj, Anmol, Sneha, Navin, Vishal & Jayesh realized it, and wanted to share it with all of us
Hot, sexy, handsome... Khiladhyon ka Khiladi Akshay Kumar!! Vidhi & Neetu taught Krish, Viren, Akshay, Vicky, Tanith, Rohit, Karan & Arun to give the kicks and moves of Bollywood's greatest Khiladi :D
Jab We Met there was some kind of Kismat Konnection... Did you feel it? Well, Shahid Kapoor did and so did Eshna, Aanchal, Rahul, Vinay, Kushi, Krishi, Rahul, Jashan & Rahul with the hel of their choreographer Namrata
Big surprise for all of us was when our great anchors prepared a special remix... Rahul, Sonia, Badal & Shilpa did some awesome movements!! And who’s the hottest girl in the world? Our Desi Mums!! Not only the hottest, but the most hard working, all the mamas that made this night possible... Decoration, gift packing, selling the tickets, welcoming to the event, coordinating kids, preparing rehearsals, sitting arrangements are just some of the things that our Desi Mums had to do: Conchi, Kiran, Harsha, Karishma, Nitu, Sneha (Kavita), Gayna, Nutan, Muskan, Karina, Prerna, Sara, Vidhi, Raksha, Rima, Jyoti, Sita, Namrata, Pooja, Manju, Priti, Priya, Manju, Mehak, Sanya, Laveena, Honey, Sita, Manju, Jhoti, Resham, Manju Lazor, Kiran, Kanchan, Shalu, Rima, Nami, Dani, Jyoti & many more...
A special mention goes to our DJ for the night DJ Sara; Lights Man, Amit; Camera man, Digital Express; Foto men, Rajesh & Jagdish; Our Anchors Rahul, Sonia, Jashan & Shilpa; Curtain men, Jeetu & Rakesh; our comedians Sonu & Dheeraj and of course, the Ayuntamiento de Adeje
And last, but most important... We would like to thank the great audience we had that night... You were all FANTABULOUS!!!
THANK YOU to each and every person mentioned in this post because without you all, this great night wouldn't have been possible!
Sunday 9th November 2008 was a unique night, a night that will stay in our hearts, minds and eyes as the night that we could find Taare Zameen Par, our little start in our little Adeje...

How many times have you done the Diwali Pooja and didn't know what was the next step until Mum or Granny told you? And what about the meaning of all the things we do? Well, this year it's your turn to surprise your elders by knowing what to do exactly and why do we do what we do... The ICC Kids Camp Team have done a nice document of the Procedure of a Sindhi Diwali Pooja :) This way you can help at home on this lovely festival of lights!!! Do you do the Diwali prayers this way? Or you change things? Don't feel shy and let us kno in the comments!!!
Firstly, you have to keep your house clean and draw a Rangoli at your doorstep to welcome Goddess Laxmi.
Before starting the Pooja it's important to have all thing ready... Here is a list of things you will need:
Now first visualize Lord Ganesh. Welcome Him to your pooja. Chant Om Ganeshaya Namah
Pray to Shivji the same way. Chant: Om Namah Shivaya
Sprinkle water on the lota, apply kumkum, shower rice and flowers, offer mithaai, and dry fruit and accord the same treatment that you would to an esteemed guest. Follow the same procedure with the 9 planets. Sprinkle water towards the North, South, East and West.
Bathe the icons first in panchamrita and then in rose water.
Apply kumkum, shower flowers, offer mithai and dry fruit to the different icons of gods.
Draw a Swastika, apply kumkum, shower rice and flowers, offer mithaai and dry fruit to the Laxmi Patro and note-book.
In the milk bowl, add water, gulaal, flower petals and mithaai. Then put the silver and gold coins in. It is said if you make the coins jingle, it would attract Laxmi Maa to come to you. Visualize MahaLaxmi and say: OmShreem MahaLakshmaye Namah. In some families, it is tradition to tap a coin to your teeth and to your eyes. Tapping the coin to one’s teeth is that though we pray for wealth, we acknowledge that we will not take our material wealth with us; and tapping them to one’s eyes symbolizes one’s request of intellectual stimulus.
Now you are ready for the Mahalaxmi Aarti. Make a mound of rice and place camphor in a thali or an aarti container. After the aarti is over, rotate the lighted aarti container before all gods and the whole house. Place your hands over the lighted camphor and then over yourselves. At the end of the post, you have a video and the words for the Aarti :)
Do the above with faith and devotion and don't worry too much if you do not do it very correctly. Say 'Haraye Namaha' 3 times. That takes care of all the mistakes that you may have committed knowingly or unknowingly during the ritual. What is most important is your faith and love.
After the Aarti, the ‘Palau’ is traditionally recited, followed by the ‘Bhog’. Now, what exactly is the Palau? Why do we do it? What are we doing when we do Bhog? Keep reading ;)
The Palauceremony is said after songs of worship or the aati. We end our prayer with a request to the Lord to fill up the ‘jholee’ or the palau which they hold in their hand in a symbolic attempt to fill it with the goodies that they prayed for and which they expect to drop from Heaven at the end of their ritual. This is done by holding the lower part of the shirt stretched out to beg from the Lord the good and welfare of all. One should also pray for the well being of others before one asks anything for oneself.
The Bhog ceremony is the offering of the ‘prasad’ or the sweets and food to the deities for blessing. Some people recite a specific mantra during this ritual while some others say a few personal words of appreciation. Either way, it is one’s personal way of making offerings and securing blessings for what they are about to consume. The items offered are gathered in small amounts on a plate or a ‘thaali’ – then placed in front of the altar. Once offered, the items are returned to the pots or serving trays from which they were taken – an action that symbolically spreads the blessings of the food into everything that is prepared / served.
And as promised, here is the Aarti...
MAHALAXMI AARTI
Om Jai Laxmi Mata, Maiya Jai Laxmi Mata, Tumko nis din sevat, Maiya ji ko nis din sevat Hari Vishnu Data Om Jai Laxmi Mata (Repeat above verse)
Uma Ramaa Brahmaani, Tum hi Jag Mata,Maiya Tum hi Jag Mata, Surya Chandra Ma dhyaavat, Surya Chandra Ma dhyaavat Naarad Rishi gaata. Om Jai Laxmi Mata.
Durga Roop Niranjani, Sukh Sampati Data, Maiya Sukh Sampati Data Jo koyee tumko dhyaavat, Jo koyee tumko dhyaavat Ridhi Sidhi dhan paataa Om Jai Laxmi Mata.
Tum Pataalani Nivasini, Tum hi Shubh Data, Maiya tum hi Shubh Data Karma Prabhaav Prakaashini, Karma Prabhaav Prakaashini Bhuv Niddhi ke praata Om Jai Laxmi Mata
Jis ghar tum rehti teh, sab sath goon aataa, Maiya sab sath goon aataa, Saab sambhav hojata jataa, Saab sambhav hojata jataa Man naheen ghabraataa. Om Jai Laxmi Mata
Tum Bin Yaghya na hote, vaastra na ho paata, Maiya vaastra na ho paata, Khana paan ka vaibhav, Khana paan ka vaibhav Sab tumse aata Om Jai Laxmi Mata
Shubh Goon Mandir sunder, shero da di jaata, Maiya shero da di jaata Ratna chaturdashi tum bin, Ratna chaturdashi tum bin Koi nahi paata Om Jai Laxmi Mata.
Maha Laxmiji ki Aarti, jo koi nar gaata, Maiya jo koi nar gaata, Pur aananda samata, Pur aananda samata, Paap utar jaata Om Jai Laxmi Mata.
Om Jai Laxmi Mata, Maiya Jai Laxmi Mata, Tumko nis din sevat, maiya ji ko nis din sevat Hari Vishnu Data Om Jai Laxmi Mata (Repeat above verse)
