Emraan s view on the Shilpa controversy
Emraan Hashmi is known to be Bollywood s smooch king, and he explains it as being his bread and butter. Well when asked what he thought about the Shilpa Shetty and Richard Gere kiss controversy, Emraan simply said that Richard comes from a different culture and if Shilpa has no problem with the kiss the why should someone else. He also thinks people have taken the issue too far and that its happens a lot on films these days, its sometimes just a way for people to make a fuss about something.

Downtown Madison Finally Has Indian Food Again
I ve been to Maharani twice now and am so happy that there s finally some good Indian food downtown again. I loved Curry n Hurry and was very sad when it moved to Fitchburg (before the wrecking ball took down University Square). Noah and I ate there a lot. Curry n Hurry offered greasy, cheap, and fantastic Indian food on styrofoam plates. It was kind of like an independently-owned fast food restaurant with local art on the walls and a Bollywood soundtrack (though sometimes it was Eminem blasting through the speakers). God, I loved that place. It was really nice to go out for great food without having to change out of my jeans and threadbare Poison t-shirt (from their so-called World Tour that doesn t list any shows outside the United States). Well, Maharani is much fancier what with the bow-tied waiters and linen napkins, but it s got an excellent $7.95 buffet. It s located on the corner of Broom and West Wash which has been a death location in recent years, housing several short-lived and unremarkable businesses. Happily, Maharani has been showing signs of success though, with a consistently crowded dining room. New restaurants in Madison almost always draw the crowds, but I think Maharani s auspicious beginning owes less to the novelty and more to the quality.
The buffet is the biggest Indian buffet I ve ever seen. I never knew there were so many kinds of chutney. It was like a chutney wonderland. I was also surprised to find dishes that I had never seen available at a buffet before, namely masala dosa and a wonderful lamb curry. The dosa was still crunchy, meaning it was quite fresh. The lamb curry was a real treat because lamb is such an expensive meat that I very rarely have it. They also did a fine job with the usual dishes: mutter paneer (though I would have preferred palak paneer), chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, pakora, etc. I don t go to Indian buffets very often as I like to keep my adventures in gluttony to a minimum. The idea behind buffets seems to be a vain attempt to fill the holes in people s lives with food and I generally find that kind of depressing. (Call me crazy.) However, every once in a while, for some reason, it seems like an excellent idea to eat Indian food to the point of discomfort. And if you have got a hole in your soul, I imagine there are much worse things you could cram into it.
I?ve wanted to post about this for a while now. A little over a month ago my five year old and I worked out a chore chart for her, so she knows what to do during the day and what her responsibilities are. I mainly started this because my five year old is just like me, a morning person and an early riser. I remember I always used to be the first one up in my house. While my mom and my sister slept I was usually able to watch a whole bollywood movie before they woke up (and that tells a lot because those things are like 3 HOURS LONG!!!)
Anyhow, my five year old is exactly the same way, (except she s never seen a bollywood film, shocking I know! LOL!). Now that daylight savings time has kicked in, morning prayers are around 5:30am and I?ve noticed sometimes she?s up even before then (even if she went to bed at 10pm the night before). Well we tell her to stay in bed and try and sleep some more, which she is able to do for another hour or so and I also usually try and go back to sleep for atleast an hour after that. So we made up some ground rules for her. First, if she wakes up she needs to try and stay in bed until 7am. At 7am she can get up and start going through her chore chart. Before we made up the chore chart she would wander aimlessly through the house not knowing what to do or she would come wake me up because she was bored. I didn?t mind but I preferred it if she had her own schedule to follow and she knew what her day would consist of and what she can look forward to accomplishing.
Anyhow, we worked out a chore chart similar to this:
1. Go to the potty and wash up.
2. Get dressed (She has a little drawer that she can choose her days clothes from that has her ?home clothes? in it which consists of comfortable dresses or shalwar kameez that she only wears around the house, not if we go out somewhere) (She also combs her hair and puts on a matching hair band and a little chap stick, it?s so adorable!)
3. Make your bed (thank goodness I do not have to do that anymore! 
)
4. Read, play with your toys or work on your computer until parents wake up (or until I have her breakfast ready if I am already awake)
5. Eat breakfast
6. Put your dishes in the dishwasher
7. Wash your hands, face, brush teeth and clean up.
8. Homeschooling time, or do Madressa homework, or bike riding or activity time. (This is a time period of a few hours that we usually do all of our work and/or go bike riding to the park or if we planned some sort of outing or activity then we do that.
9. Eat lunch
10. Put your dishes in the dishwasher
11. Wash your hands, face, brush teeth and clean up.
12. Naptime or reading time
13. Playtime or do as you please time (Which usually consists of any outings or activities we have planned or Mama cooking and her playing with her sister, or Baba, or grandpa or grandma. We also do homeschooling at this time if we didn?t get it done in the morning.)
14. Dinnertime
15. Put your dishes in the dishwasher
16. Get ready for bedtime (washing, brushing teeth, putting her day clothes in the laundry basket (home clothes and outside clothes that she may have worn that day) and putting on her pajamas
17. If there?s still some time before bed (they are usually in bed between 9pm and 9:30pm, unless they missed their nap that day then they are in bed by 8pm) they can play a little bit with the family (especially their uncle who comes over at least once a week for dinner)
18. Quick clean-up (picking up toys in their room, living room, parents room, kitchen or any other room they have been playing in)
19. Bedtime
Then at the bottom of her chore chart I have another small section that says:
Other things to remember during the day:
a) be kind to others (especially to her little sister)
b) be helpful (help mom with preparing food, setting table, cleaning up, sorting laundry, emptying dishwasher, etc )
c) remember your manners (table manners, social skills, and her please and thank you?s)
d) say your prayers (pray with us as often as she can and also read her duas throughout the day, especially before going to sleep)
Now of course not every day is like this and not every thing is accomplished or completed in this order. We just made this up to use as an example so we have some sort of schedule and she knows what to do and expect. For example, Mondays are library days and we usually go there in the mornings, therefore we don?t do as much homeschooling that day because her uncle usually comes for dinner Monday evenings so we prepare a nice dinner that evening and don?t do that much homeschooling, if any. Saturday is totally different because we usually have other commitments and activities going on. Madressa is on Sunday and most of our day is spent there. And then other days we may have field trips or I just feel like going to the mall some days and having lunch out.
Anyhow, having a chore chart has really made my life easier and has made her feel more confident and responsible. There are a lot of different ways you can set yours up; I just did mine in a table format using Microsoft Word. You can do yours in excel or download one that?s already done for you and print it out. You can also have rewards for different chores accomplished. There are a lot of great sites you can get ideas from, here are a few I?ve found that gave me some ideas for her chart:
ChartJungle - Full of all kinds of charts
MyRewardBoard - Good place to start if you want to set up a reward system
ChoreBuster - Set chores up for everyone here!
DLTK s Custom Chore Chart - You can have different themes!
And of course About.com?s scheduling, calendaring, and charting section for lots more info.
