Folks, my shalika (Natasha Khan) has been nominated as one of the top ten finalists of the Modern Bride of the year 2009 contest for the Modern Bride Magazine. The top five will be featured in the Tyra Banks show and the magazine. You can vote once every hour so vote as many times as you can and asks your friends and family members todo the same. Bride and groom are both from Bangladesh.
Cast your vote for Modern Bride of the Year!
Who do you think should be our next Modern Bride of the Year? Check out the 10 women we've selected and choose the one you think best represents what it means to be a modern bride.
You can vote once an hour, so vote often for your favorite!
We can't reveal the winner until October, when we plan to announce our next Modern Bride of the Year--and December/January cover girl--on "The Tyra Banks Show."
Thanks.

Interesting thing about the origin of the word Shalika - it means "flute" in Sanskrit. The boy equivalent of the name is abhayaDiNDima, which means "war-drum". I am not sure why these musical terms were used to signify son/daughter.

ro1249 - Because you are 'special', you owe me ONE VOTE EVERY HOUR. Shalika = aadhi gharwali.
ATMR - Not surprised. Just look at Hindi movies, masala song = gori kuriya.
MC - Device a virus that will post your vote every hour.
Gopala - Don't give ATMR ideas. By the way, good job saving ro's comment before he deleted it. I gotta keep an eye on this kid.
nadim98 - Thank you. 100% Bangladeshi.
Mav - Dhonnobad!
Peace - Thanks. Adhunik Bou?
Akib - Thanks.
Dr. Z - It kinda does make sense based on how kids in our part of the world are brought up. Girls are supposed to be bhodro, nomro, etc. Boys are supposed to be cricketers.
