Padma Shri

I really don't know why they keep giving out these awards like candies. Just take a look at this page. This year's notable winners:
  • Akshay Kumar: This year, he gave us some of the best movies of all time - Singh is Kinng, Jumbo and Chandni Chowk to China. Yeah! Doesn't he deserve the award for acting in all these movies and raising the standards of Indian movie industry??
  • Aishwarya Rai - Don't even get me started on this ******** whatever.....
  • Helen - Remember the item girl? Yeh mera dil from Amitabh's Don??
Just when I thought no one can make it worse than this, our Indian officials say "Yes, we can!!" Take a look at this. They gave the award to the wrong person.


"The Padma awards committee seems to have conferred the prestigious Padma Shri award in the field of art and culture to a man who turned out to be an exporter of shawls and not a national craftsman. The blame game has already begun with senior government officials saying they had never recommended Hashmat Ullah Khan's name in the first place. Khan was nominated for the Padma Shri under the art, culture and literature category. Then it was corrected to the craftsmen category, but when the hunt for Khan started after his nomination, it was found that no craftsman by that name existed in Jammu and Kashmir."


Congratulations to all the winners!!! Jai Hind!!
