Jawahar, Ladies Man
While cringing at the very thought of Nehruvian socialism and its long lasting effects on the country, as a red-blooded desi male, I cannot but help admire the Nehruvian way with the ladies.
The BBC has a short photo feature on Jawaharlal Nehru. Highlighted below is Nehru going Rico Suave with now-well-known-lover Edwina’s daughter, Pam Mountbatten, [...]

Rock On: Rock goes mainstream
Granted this movie has been out for 4 weeks but I just had the opportunity of catching up with what all this hype was about. I went in expecting a “bored urban Indian youth rebel against society” kind of movie but was pleasantly surprised. **some spoilers**
Rock On: Don’t judge a movie by its posterimg: via [...]
Chandok says thanks, but no thanks.
With the GP2 series wrapping up, Karun finished a distant 10th, but let that not fool you. He had some amazing races, fought and for a lot of the races, luck was not with him.
A few days ago, I wrote about why Karun should not take the tester role at Force India F1 and [...]
How Sarah Palin crashed Über Desi
No this is not Über Desi taking a hard right turn and embarking on a Sarah Palin lovefest. Our regular readers are probably aware of this - Über Desi was down for almost 120 hours over the Labor Day weekend !!!! The reason, GOP Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.
This former mayor of a small town [...]
Mallya wants Karun to be a test driver.
Karun Chandok, The great brown hope (at least when it comes to F1) has been doing pretty well in the GP2 series. For the uninitiated the GP2 series is the current feeder to the Formula 1 series and a few good drivers, Lewis Hamilton, Timo Glock and Heikki Kovalainen have emerged from there.
While Karun [...]
The TOI screams “holy C.R.A.P.S!!”
Almost four months ago, Metro.co.uk reported that BMW had embarked on a crusade against canine urination. Describing the Canine Repellent Alloy Protection System, Dr. Hans Zoff stated the obvious.
‘Research shows that most BMW customers love to keep their cars clean – but dog fouling is a constant irritant.’
They even brought in an animal rights group [...]
“A Custom Lungi” - a literary review
Over the years, we’ve watched with great interest the evolution, or rather the lack of it, of desi literature based in the U.S. The following is based on some common trends/threads in desi lit novels - bright covers with saris and bindis and the choice of “serious” South Asian specific topics like dowry, arranged marriages, [...]
American jobs being taken by lower paid workers ….
….. lower-paid, highly qualified American (a.k.a not foreign, not Indian, but American) workers, that is. [WSJ]
For long, anti H1B propagandists like Lou Dobbs and Ron Hira (no link love for either) have complained about highly qualified tech workers from India accepting positions in the U.S., for perhaps, a marginally lower pay than their American counterparts.
WSJ [...]
Raj Bhavsar brings ‘em to Über Desi
After Raj Bhavsar’s outstanding performance lifted the US to a bronze medal, it’s his turn to lift Über Desi’s visitor tally. Over the last 24-48 hours, various combinations of “Raj Bhavsar” on Google have accounted for over 30% of our total visits.
Besides different ways of spelling his name, here are some other Raj Bhavsar search [...]

The Hindoo has come …to Uberdesi
Our regular readers know that we at Über Desi have been following with interest the controversy over the recent Mike Myers’ debacle “The Love Guru”. (See all previous posts here :1,2,3,4,5 and more).Its no secret which side of the controversy I stand on : I believe that the protests by Hindus were misguided and [...]
Kuselan - Not your usual Thalaivar padam!
This is a first for UberDesi. In spite of Tamil being in a majority here at UD, we have resisted joining the quest for Tamil domination in the desi blogosphere. But, perhaps it is time to give in to our baser instincts. And what better way to hitch our cart to that bandwagon than to [...]
American director to make Bollywood ichhadaari snake movie
Finally a story worthy enough for Über Desi. [HT]
“Do I make you horny, baby?“img: via HT
Just so this post does not come off an inside joke, a lil’ Über Desi history lesson for the curious minded. Unlike other blogs, forums, websites and what have you, Über Desi was the brainchild of two drunk FOBs and [...]
Doggy style meets Bollywood ishtyle (Update)
By now you’ve probably heard of the Snoop Dogg venture into Bollywood. [People] (tip Jennie via email)
Snoop is Singh?img: via People

Indo-Pak brawl at hockey match
Sports commentators often love to indulge in clichés. It doesn’t get better than when cricket commentator and former player Tony Greig said something to the effect “There’s a lot riding on this match” in a must-win game for India in Sharjah before Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar went on to play his monumental innings in a [...]
Love Story 2050:Bad taste is timeless
“Love Story 2050″ proves that some love stories should *never* be immortal. Unfortunately, the idea of the movie is a novel one with lots of potential.
“Love Story 2050″: Desi sci-fi gone badimg: via Wikipedia
But Hindi movie scriptwriters are like inept hangmen - very poor execution. The incomprehensible plotline begins with the standard boy-meets-girl. Spoilt [...]
TOW SAJA Convention 2008
Last year was fun. So three weeks ago, when one saw Sree’s email wondering if someone would represent this Über blog at SAJA’s annual conference this year, disappointment arose.
