Wait.. Arent Priyanka and Kajol 6 more shades toward chocolate. And dosen’t Hrithik look more Baldwin than Roshan? Or is it just me…
everytime i see kajol i want to get a pair of tweezers out.. damn she needs some threading.. wtf is wrong with her?
Man! People are too hard on Kajol! I rather like that she has obstinately left the unibrow in place. She certainly is more amusing a screen personality than the perfectly eyebrow-ed Priyanka Chopra’s of this world.
Anyway, you give good caption, Manish. ;)
too hard on a unibrow?
one can never be too harsh on a unibrow.
:)
besides the likes of smita patil, tabu, nandita das…. who are real actresses…the others…are talentless…with the exception of knowing how to shake their hips faster than shakira…
yes, a strong opinion…but i’m sticking with it…
Talking about dolls…I found the ‘Devdas’ line at
http://www.dollsofindia.com/gallery/CustomizedBarbies/
The prices are steep but the dolls are awesome!
Don’t forget http://www.dollsofindia.com/product/RF10/
Awesome captions Man, ish!
Msichana I remember someone sent me that link a while ago and I found Devdas ‘Kens’ as well - in traditional (not really) period Bengali male outfits. Can’t find the link now.
I have a doll by the way. Once, while ego-surfing, I found this. Rohin the jester. Kind of looks like he could be breakdancing…
I heard somewhere that her unibrow is considered good luck .. and since she did so well in the beginning of her career she never wanted to get rid of it.
Loved the captions Manish =)
how can a caterpillar on your supposed brow line mean good luck? i guess it’s as good as the myth of having a bird shit on your head being good luck…
haha indians are full of strange good luck myths so i wasn’t even phased by the unibrow luck theory!
Dolls of India seems to be missing their market– no desi is going to pay $150+ for a desified barbie doll. Not ven I can make that at home for free, beti…
stelletje sukkels… groeten uit holland..! doeiii
nishaar
Those devdas dolls are just the india barbie from the barbies of the world dressed in diff clothes :L
