Hottest Men in Music

Well,thanks to catching up a show on Channel V last night,I decided to rank the hottest men ever in the world of music-ahem, my selection in descending order! -EMINEM :Now this guy might have so far attracted controversy but must admit always found his looks pretty attractive inspite of his tattoo-ed body and abusive lyrics he is a great papa for his daughter!Moreover I have actually enjoyed his music-he cannot be out of this list! -Robbie Williams: He can look and sing great,his soft numbers make him desirable! -Sting :Irrespective of his age,the man is perfection when it comes to personality and not to mention his ability to create beautiful numbers.He is here to stay and ofcourse he can! :-) -Justin Timberlake: Appeal is small,sexy,moves very very well and is of right age! -Usher : the current hot favorite and seems like he wins again,this guy has a great smile, dances like its so bloody natural, skin color is an appeal besides his voice and hit numbers! I am "caught up" t...

Kicking and Screaming

Well,not exactly what i did for the weekend but the movie i watched. Will Ferrell and Ronal Duvall play father and son and their rivalry is the focus of the movie.This family entertainment is all about the son finally earning his father's respect.The comedy is pretty good and the kids made the viewing worth it!In particular i liked Dylan Mclaughlin (as Will's son) and Elliott Cho(the cute Chinese).this movie is relaxing and a good break.Now I hadnt ever read about the movie or seen a trailor before going to watch it but with zero expectations i enjoyed this one! :-) Thanks Sam for the pizza and the ride!! Athena,Congrats on the driving licence!good going!!! Hey,anyone off to Mars sighting??

Hey!!!

its been a while since we have had some news....s0 here we go, The most famous 22K jeweller ,probably globally,has asked its male employees to shave off their moustaches +facial hair to keep up with their jobs!the examples are set by the owner,himself ,the managers and all the male employees irrespective of the hierarchy!now,i find this news very very interesting!having to look formal is part of most jobs but shaving off moustaches,what formality would it create?does grooming have to go to this extent???what is most capturing is the 'pride' of these men who hail from the land that claims to be 'God's own country' seems to be hit..... So India and Pakistan,i still believe,could be the best neighbours ever,but we have decided to be influenced by political pressures even after all these years!Anyways,the point is while Indian films are "banned" in Pakistan the Indian stars are not!which goes on to show how strong piracy is.so we have ms rai,going over to thei...

The Rising.....Mangal Pandey

How was the movie?well,to sum it up i was pretty disappointed,i expected a whole lot from this movie which took 2 odd years to complete! The disappointing parts are the unnecessary songs in between the seriousness of the theme.the flow is lost there somehow.Then amisha patel does damage to her role,i dont comprehend who ever regarded her as an actress!the woman couldnot wail well,smile well and not even do the pettiest part of her role any justice!Gosh,what a waste.having a narration with old pictures of about 3 odd minutes after the last scene of the movie,plus the focus on romance spoilt the look of the movie. Though the movie has flaws,the brighter side is Aamir's excellent skills in acting, yet again proven.Toby Stephens is amazing as the William Gordon.Rani did justice to her role but Kirron Kher excelled though she had less than5 scenes in the movie!The frienship between the sepoy and the officer has been done very well and also the daily torture every man and woman had to go...

Weekends...now,then

If you live in the UAE or other Gulf countries, you will probably be excited about THE day! Thursdays have always been the most loved day for me! You get to enjoy a late evening even if you are not partying, you at least have the energy for watching a movie/dining out/meeting families, whatever that maybe! When things were much sober in this country, I am talking during my early years in school, there were just 4 channels, yes just 4, that we could watch. They were Ch33 (called ONETV now), Sharjah TV, Ajman and Abu Dhabi channels.Sharjah and Abu Dhabi were the most boring since all the programs were in Arabic. We could watch about 2 hours of cartoon on Ch33 and Ajman.There was nothing in Hindi as such available then, except of course, the first thing on Thursday morning was to check on paper what movie was being shown that night! The days we used to miss the cartoons were Mondays and Wednesdays due to dance classes! And yes, dance classes were therefore a pain then! We used go cycling ...

Inspiring thoughts

We all feel low on some days and that's how i felt day before yesterday.I am trying to fight that blue with the help of some beautiful thoughts.So here are some of my favourite ones... i)" The little space within the heart is as great as the vast universe. The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun and the moon and the stars. Fire and lightening and winds are there, and all that now is and all that is not ". --The Upanishads ii)" And we are put on Earth a little space, that we may learn to bear the beams of love ". --William Blake iii)" Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely ". --The Land Before Time iv)" A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort ". --Herm Albright v)" I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends u...

After a week!

Its been a while since I have blogged....not that someone would miss it.But I miss it ,since I have my diary collecting dust in a corner and last night when i looked at it I realised its really been a while. Nothing much,I have just been trying to keep up with the assignment deadline and since its the subject that i am trying to like(but still hate),its not been easy.In a way I think its not been that bad but writing has really taken a long long time.If the draft is approved I am left with the final touches. Last week was very disappointing. The promised workshop at institute was cancelled.In a way,i really that would have been beneficial. King Fahd passed away and we were anticipating a mourning holiday for the same.No holiday nothing ! I'll be clear, people dont want to mourn but if u live in the Middle east,you will understand the importance of even that 1 extra holiday.Unlike India where ocassions of different religions are given importance,here we are left with just Eid to cou...
