I would say I got hooked to Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) this year. I started watching BGT pretty late, almost when Hollie Steel appeared in auditions and since then I try not to miss any of the episodes of this brilliant series. I just watched the final of Britain’s Got talent 2009 and am mesmerized with the talent people have. My personal favorites are Diversity, Flawless (both are dance groups), Julian Smith (Saxophone player) and Susan Boyle (Scottish Singer). Let’s see who wins, by that time you watch all those videos on youtube or I would try to embed those here.

But here is the video of the winner Diversity here, rest of the 2009 BGT final videos can be watched here on youtube

Slumdog Millionaire has been a favorite movie of all the movie awards and I am right not watching it live from red carpet guessing if Slumdog will make it in Oscars as well, whats your guess?

I saw those cute kids Azarudding and Rubina being interviewed, in reality from slums of Mumbai, did not know what to speak in English but the y were full of confident like red carpet stars.

Just after the kids, Anil Kapoor and rest appeared on the camera followed by Dev Patel and Freida Pinto. I was LMAO when Anil was trying to be a matchmaker for Dev and Freida. I could not stop myself commentating on this blog though it’s off-topic.

I am just hoping that this heavily India dominated UK film wins the Oscar for best film and best director, do you think it will win?

There is a sad news today that has hit my inbox. I have a group of artist friends and we discuss about the happenings in art field. By the way, for people who don’t know – I am an artist (painter) and have been nuturing this only as my hobby. This news, ofcourse, is very close to my heart and I am very sad on reading this. Just for my readers, I would like to give more information on this famour Christina’s world painting.

Andrew Wyeth passes away at the age of 91. He was famous for his “Christina’s World” painting. I have reproduced the digital version of the image here.  The original painting is displayed in the New York Museum of Modern Art. Christina’s World was a haunting portrait by Andrew Wyeth of a crippled woman and a forsaken house on a bleak New England hill. Christina Olson in the protrait was a real person. She was born May 3, 1893 and died January 27, 1968. Except for the last two months of her life, she lived her entire life in the house on the hill in the painting. The house is located on a hill at Hathorn Point on the coast of Maine at Cushing. Today, the house is preserved as a tourist attraction.
