At the 2005 contest, a mere 13 year old kid, Anurag Kashyap, walked away with the $30,000 prize, books, scholarships and other goodies. And as reported in the New York Times, "For many American contestants, the most uncommon words at last week's national spelling bee were not appoggiatura ( a musical term) and onychophagy, but the names of the top four finishers: Anurag Kashyap, Aliya Deri, Samir Patel and Rajiv Tarigopula. All were of Indian ancestry." <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.dailynews.lk/2008/01/01/fea03.asp" target="blank">www.dailynews.lk/2008/01/01/fea03.asp</a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
