It would be wrong to say that I dont admire talent and beauty. Now that I am a pakka/normal/straight girl, I would re-write the statement as "It would be wrong to say that I dont admire talent and handsome-ness( I dont know if thats even a word!!) Getting straight to the point, I always had this idea of creating a list of my top ten handsome men and I have finally compiled one. So here goes:
1) John Abraham : Any one who even remotely knows me would know that this name had to be on the top of my list. There may be people better than him, he may not be a very decent actor, blah blah keep talking people! I am not listening. He is the world's hottest man hands down!
2) Ian Somerhalder: For people who dont know him, he plays Damon Salvatore in Vampire Diaries. He is the "Bad Guy" with a good heart and he is a dude!!! He is charming and witty and loving and caring and useless people like me keep wondering if he is going to get Elena (The female lead of Vampire Diaries) or not.
3)Farhan Akhtar: I really find him cute and funny. He simply has this genuine sense of humor without the desperate attempt of being funny. Probably that is what I like the best about him. And i am duly impressed that he is multitalented. I dont have to really write that. Acts, directs,sings and I am sure there are others as well and if you see carefully, he is quite good looking as well! Did I mention he has a wierdy nice voice?
4) Ali Zafar: Another good looking, talented singer. For his latest album Jhoom, he pulled off a one man show. He wrote the lyrics, sang the songs, composed and mixed the music and also acted in the video. I was a little disappointed with him in "Mere brother ki dulhan". I mean he can act and he has proved that in his videos. I dont know why did he under or probably over performed in MBKD. But I know he is a rockstar!
5) Hrithik Roshan: He is "theee most" good looking guy (But still John scores 'cos of the smile!! ). What I love about him is that he seems to be very down to earth and he comes across as a real good human being. I loved him .. like really loved him in Dhoom:2. However illogical the movie was, I can see it again and again only for him.
6)Paul Weasley: Now he is Stefan Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. He is the good brother to Damon. Until the last season, he never killed a human being for blood and was all pro-humanity. But now Klaus (the original Vampire) has put him under compulsion and I will stop here before I start off with the VD story. Again he is good looking, loving .. extremely loving, protective and caring.. and HOT!! :) :)
7) Shah Rukh Khan: Yesterday I was watching DDLJ for the (n+1)th time. He is not your essentially good looking guy. But please notice the look on his face when he says "Duniya ka koi bhi ullu ka pattha tumhe ek angoothi pehna ke mujhse duur nahi kar sakta." If you still dont fall in love with SRK the reasons could be as follows :
1) Your BF is romantic-er than SRK (I am sure there is no such word again!)
2) You are super cold hearted
3) You are a boy
4) You like girls
SO SRK with his romantic gestures, his dimples and the fact that he is actually a self made man makes a place in my top 10.
8) Ranbir Kapoor: I like him only because he is good looking and talented. There is nothing extra "special" about Ranbir. He gets everything in the genes. So nothing worth mentioning about him. But all said and done he is a very good actor!
9)Arjun Rampal: He is exceptionally good looking. I remember how Vibha and I were literally gaping at him where we were watching him dance to "apni to jaise taise" in housefull. And he has pretty much learnt to act. I mean they dont really give out national awards to non actors. He may not be an Amir Khan but he is improving and thats what I really like about him.
10) Leoonardo Di Caprio: Good looking, super awesome actor and an amazing body of work. Pick up Titanic or Catch me if you can or Shutter Island or Inception or whatever, he is an amazing actor! You just cannot help but be a fan of Leonardo Di Caprio!
Thats my list. And BTW while I was compiling it, there was a 11th name. Technically, I dont know his name. Mr. Fresh. Yup!! My un-named Hyderabad crush! The absolutely super good looking tall hunk!
Suggest me more add-ons. There can be a part two as well! :)

When love stories die ...
I have seen perfect love stories come to an end for ridiculous reasons. I know its never my business but I get that helpless feeling .. like I wish i could do something for them. Like I could turn back time, could convince the villains (Read: Parents/Relatives)... Something which could bring those two together.
I have heard about people retreat into silence. I have seen friends crying themselves to sleep and waking up the next morning ...with a fake smile and a real resolution to face the day. I have also witnessed the same people gathering themselves up and now leading normal lives ... contemplating to move on.
Someone very truly once said to me, "Kisi ke aane ya jaane se zindagi nahi rukti, lekin kisi ke aane ya chale jaane se zindagi badal zaroor jaati hai".Its like when you hear "Shaam Tanha" by Agnee and identify with the line .. "tere jaane se main adhoora reh gaya". Life does not stop. But you leave a bit of yourself behind ... in the past. Never to be found ... never wanting to be found again.
I dont know why am I writing this. Maybe because when I look at those people, I truly wish the story had lived on ..to be told like a complete happy story and not an unfinished one ...
Because when true love stories die, something else dies with them. Praying that all true love stories have a happy life ..that they never end!!
May there be lots of love in this world ...

... and then there was another trek
I had been to one trek trip without knowing what it really was all about. When I returned from it, all swollen and limping, I was sure that i was done with my share of adventure. I was done with trekking, but somehow trekking was not done with me.
So when Om’s friend (and now mine too) Jinal came down to Bangalore, he being the adventure freak planned a trekking trip with the ever hungry for adventure guys Diptesh and Lohith. I was pooled in as well. In typical Om’s style, I was just informed that we have to go for a trek.”You are coming”. Not “Are you coming?” But my guard was up. If life would have been a movie, on the screen that time, the scene would be the flashbacks of the super tiring last trip. I tried giving him all reasons Anyhow!! He convinced me to come along and go along I did.
So was this trip as scary as I was anticipating it to be? Not really! Turned out that the trek route was beautiful, the company was fun and weather was decent. Since this was an almost chilled out trip, with nothing super-different happening, here are just a few highlights :
Power packed little trekker: Diptesh introduced us to Suman. A quite, pretty tiny girl. Now I know never to underestimate little people. A very very useful lesson! This little girl climbed wet stones, ran down hill, jumped, walked and never complained. We were just amazed! And by the way ..... this girl can blow that shrill whistle! The Bhopal ki bharat talkies back benchers whistle!! Hats Off Suman!!!! You rock!
Smiling lonely farmers: We stopped by a lonely house where an extremely friendly family stayed. They welcomed us with a very sweet smile and gave us these big cucumbers to eat which tasted awesome. We just dug our teeth in them and tasted the most amazing ever cucumber.
Leeches Screeches: To say that Jinal was scared of leeches would be an understatement. Petrified ... maybe! Horrified/terrified ... Use any word! Be my guest! You get the point. Jinal would screech at the top of her lungs when attacked by leeches. Unfortunately, poor girl was attacked the most. But she had so many of the leeches coming on her, that I am sure she might have overcome her fear by now. I know you will be the bravest of all when it comes to fighting with Leech attack in the next trek Jinal!
Awesome Nature: One of the points why I was being super-reluctant to go to the trek was because I felt I was done with mountains. I mean I have crossed off Laddakh from my list! How much more of mountains can a person take? But still, mountains and clouds have some way of mesmerising you every time. The more we climbed up towards the peak, the more beautiful the valley seemed. When we were at the peak of Kodachadri, sitting and enjoying the mountains, the clouds descended suddenly and everything went white. Nature truly never stops to marvel you. The return trek was from the middle of dense forest and again it was wonderful.
Marvanthe Beach: This had to be the highlight of the entire trip. Now we had two hard core “I love Mumbai” mumbaikars with us. To my surprise, they were more excited to go this beach than the rest of us. I mean it is like an MP-iya like me getting excited over poha! Bad comparison I know!! But then , it was fair for them to get so super kicked about it. No beach, Mumbai or Goa was so clean, serene and beautiful! The best part was the road which had beach at one side and back waters at the other. It was by far the most beautiful place I had seen in Karnataka.
The company: If the company is good, the fun of a trip doubles. We talked in our way, played Uno in a dark room, helped each other throughout the trek and kept chattering on our way back. Thank You Diptesh, Lohith, Suman, Jinal and Om for making this a super rocking trip!
PS: Will be adding the pics soon!
