Bihari Shabab Programming Note: While The Fahad's Away...


Nobody Beats Me, Because I'm the Wiz! I'm the Wiz!

Fear not oh loyal Bihari Shabab readers, for the scent that you are faintly picking up that smells like it is equal parts ass and Stetson aftershave, is not a dirty bomb. Rather it is a warning sign of the self-reverential lovefest that is about to get underway up in this bitch. As you know, we recently added the counter to track the number of hits we are getting here. And to be quiet honest, we were pleasantly surprised by just how many people do come here as we have not done much in the way of marketing. Now there are two ways one can take this. 1) Be humble and thank the readership or 2) Get a big head and openly solicit the female readership for Rishtas. I think you know which way we're going to go with this. I look forward to openly antagonizing the men and hitting on the women. Hello non-mehram ladies! Tis a pleasure to have your company...raise the gaze in summer of 08...

Anyway, as you know by now, young Fahad is on his way to the homeland. What does this mean to your BihariShabab experience aside from the fact that we now come to you with 100% less rap? It means that you can look forward to more posts but less original content. We will hopefully have daily Khabarnma links along with a number of weekly features, that will satiate your appetite for desiality(TM). Look for youtube clips, music reviews and other empty calorie content fillers.

Also, with today marking 100 days before the election, you can also look forward to more political coverage which really means shameless pro-Obama propaganda, because you're really not getting enough of it as it is.

The internship program is underway as well, with the first post coming up later today from the Indian Leon Phelps, Akash Shah. His first post works hand in hand with the IMEEM application you see to your left. As part of our weekly spotlight on desi artists, we will have a playlist for you for the week so you can sample some of their work and not just go by what we have to say. We think it's a terrific idea, but your comfort is paramount here, so your feedback would be much valued in determining whether we stick with the widget.

In all seriousness, we really do appreciate your patronage. If only some of you knew how to work the goddamn comment section, I think it could enhance the overall experience. I know giving out your real name may feel like a breach of your personal space. But fear not Priyanka Chopra from Mumbai or whoever you are, you can now comment anonymously, so get on it.

We look forward to hanging with you this summer.

Thanks.
