The fun begins!

With only a week to the finish line, I was eager to see if Oswald and Danny and Charla and Mirna make it to the final three?

Teams flew 7500 miles to Guam in the South Pacific.At the Anderson Air base teams  performed the detour where they had to choose between Engine Care or Care Package.Charla and Mirna went for the care package and it was cool that they had a chance to do a humanitarian relief effort on a C17 while other teams went for the Engine Care-cleaning a B52 Bomber.

Teams then went to do the roadblock at the U.S Naval Base Guam where one team member had to perform the task.It was here that most teams had a  difficult task to do,navigate using a GPS in a small jungle and then be picked up by a helicopter.Danielle was in tears while performing the task while she got lost.

Teams then drove eleven miles to reach the pitstop-Fort Soledad which is a 19th century Spanish Era fort .The blond’s were the first to arrive,Eric and Danielle were second and Charla and Mirna made it third.

Oswald and Danny were last to arrive and were eliminated.It was really sad    to see them go.As they said, it would be great if Charla and Mirna win this all stars race.Here’s hoping they win.  

Beautiful Udiapur,was great to watch this old Classic again.I think this must have been one of the best movies of its time starring Sunil Dutt and Sadhana.Great song and movie.One of the best songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar!

Inspiring first English song by A.R.Rehman, in line with United Nations goal to eradicate poverty by 2050.

In front of the Lord(Sri Venkateswara) all are equal. Atlast this seems to be good decision! Let’s see if this really takes effect at this temple.More details here.

With over 70 million votes yesterday,Ryan Seacrest and Ellen DeGeneres(live from Walt Disney’s Concert Hall) hosted today’s two-hour, star-studded results special for  ”Idol Gives Back”  that featured the remaining six American Idol finalists in a star-studded charity event to raise awareness and money to help less fortunate children in Africa and the United States.  

It was an exciting show for a good cause.The famous people contributing music  included Carrie Underwood  who sang “I’ll stand by you”,Rascal Flatts who  sang “My Wish”, l l Divo, Celine Dion and Annie Lennox .

My favorite-Josh Groban sang “You Raise me Up“.He was just amazing.

The Simpsons  with Simon was funny!

The final clip at the end was Bono who addressed the six remaining American Idol finalists about the work of the One: Campaign to Make Poverty History.
