First of all, I feel like a tresspasser on what appears to be a ‘young folks’ site. But reading all the comments about Ankush, (a terrific person as well as a great musician) and other kids in the “loser professions” I cannot keep silent! I am the mother of one such desi kid who shunned traditional non-’loser’ professions, resisted family pressures and even tongue in cheek pleas like, “Cant you be a singing doctor? You’ll have a great bed-side manner..” to follow his dream of becoming a musician. Like Ankush, he also had a back-up ‘insurance policy’ plan of a carrer in investment banking, but walked away from it. These kids who chose the arts over banking, engineering, medicine or law know that the course will be full of higher hurdles and tougher competiton, but they still have the guts to pursue elusive success in the arts. They chose that path for various reasons- they love the arts, they have seen their parents and other family members stick to conventional professions for the sake of security and financial gains, and they dont want to die “with their music still inside them”. Hats off to all these kids – desis or non-desis. Very few can walk this road. As a mother I wish I could somehow make my kid’s life a little easier, especailly when I see his struggle, but if he can weather the tough road ahead he will have something inside of him that I could never give.

I think we’ve finally come full circle. It’s a reality show about making a reality show. Alex, could I tag along with a video camera? I’d like to do a reality show about making a reality show about reality shows. Then Lisa Kudrow is going to do a fictionalized version.

Casting Call – Would Your Life Make a Great Reality Show?

If your life was turned into a reality showÂ…what would your show be?

YouÂ’ve seen all types of reality concepts on the air. Now itÂ’s time for YOUR show.

Maybe itÂ’s about you, your friends, your familyÂ…your amazing adventures or your crazy job.

MTV IS CONDUCTING A NATION-WIDE SEARCH TO FIND REALITY SHOW STARS

LOS ANGELES, CA – MTV’s Â“THE REALITY SHOWÂ” – Where contestants from all over America showcase their homegrown episodes in front of a panel of judges and vie for the ultimate prize: Their own reality show on MTV.

Contestants may apply to the show by mail. Email Alexshaw13@aol.com for an application with 2 minute videotape.

Send to: Super Delicious 6121 Santa Monica Blvd Suite G Los Angeles Ca 90038

All submissions are due ASAP

Here’s how the process will work:

Â· You make a home video, showing us a Â“mini tourÂ” of your life, and the elements from your life that could be turned into a reality show. You also need to fill out our application, which can be found at http://www.therealityshow.tv.

Â· Then, your home video will be shown to the casting director and executive producers.

Â· If the Network decides to cast you as a finalist, the producers of the show would work with you to make a professional version of the show you sent in on home video. They would send a crew out to wherever your show would take place (in the U.S.A.), and film you doing whatever it is you do (that is safe and legal!). They would get enough footage to make several short episodes.

Â· You will Â“screenÂ” your episode in front of a panel of judges, who will comment and then hand the voting over to America to decide which episodes they want to see more of. Each week, someoneÂ’s episode get Â“cancelledÂ” leaving one person at the end of the show, who wins their own 6-episode TV series on MTV.

Â“THE REALITY SHOWÂ” will air this fall on MTV.

because millions of years of evolution has dinned into their heads that the nicest ladies will not pick their sons if they end up in “loser” professions.

If we’re really talking evolution, I’d think that the “nicest ladies” would NOT be in high demand.

Well, the reason that desi parents push their boys into lucrative professions is because millions of years of evolution has dinned into their heads that the nicest ladies will not pick their sons if they end up in "loser" professions. Since desi parents do not want their genes to be terminated, they are doing their thing very rationally.

Congratulations! You win the 6/1/05 Pseudoscience of The Day award!

I'm going to go keep working in my loser profession now to keep spiting myself.

Oh BTW, obligatory props to Ankush. He seems to have emerged a winner in his profession and he seems to have had a viable backup plan if his venture had not turned out well.
