Potpourri: Flying Achiever and Musical Curry

# A very good friend of mine, Capt Neetu Gupta, who became the youngest Indian woman pilot at 19, interviewed here at ChilliBreeze. Congrats and see ya next week, Capt!!

# Mariah Carey's album Glitter came out in 2001 and featured a song called 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life', which was most probably inspired by the 80s same-title classic by Indeep. To mix more to this culture curry, here's a neat book by the same title: Last Night A DJ Saved My Life. The book traces the history of DJs and DJeing around the world. One of the authours is the eponymous DJ Bill Brewster!

# Bollowood Freaks are on a rampage with the desi version of Michael Jackson's 'Dont Stop Till You Get Enough'. Bollywood Freaks' version is titled: Dont Stop Till You Get to Bollywood You can download it from this page. The original, Michael Jackson's 'Dont Stop Till You Get Enough', is one of my all-time favs. The karaoke rendition of the same by Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan in Rush Hour 2 is WOW! Watching this scene, you spontaneously find yourself wanting to be on the dias with the loud-mouth Chris Tucker!

# Remember Usha Uthup? The original IndiPop diva! The one and only bindi-and-sari wearing pop star of India. A 1981 classic of Usha is in currency these days. This one is called 'One Two Cha Cha Cha' and is from the movie named Shalimar (Read more here). Very difficult to get this baby. I hate to link direct to mp3 files (or any non-html files for that matter) but since, you aint gonna find it otherwise, get it here.
