Forget leather or boring plastic for the season, both bags and shoes. Opt for rainproof plastic bags that are available in funky colours. If you think rainy shoes available in the Indian market lack style, opt for all-weather styles that are available at brands like Woodlands. Go for long-lasting lipsticks, instead of lip glosses. There are options available in the market, and go by the name non-transferable or colour stay lipsticks. Lock away your jeans, since denim is not a rain-friendly fabric. It gets terribly heavy when wet, and takes ages to dry. Opt for light cottons. Capris and cut offs are better than full length trousers. Wash your hair every alternate day, since it tends to get sticky and limp when ...

I would like to start with their gorgeous, lovely, dignified mother (she kind of looks like my mother, chubby & strict). I really respect her the way she handle her daughters and support them. And she said a wonderful thing, if Fathers can look after their sons and be with them, than what’s wrong if a mother is looking after her daughters and be with them. I knew this and I did tell all my friends and Pradeep that some astrologer must have told Shilpa that she will have international fame and fortune in her 30s, you know how these stars are totally dependent on astrologer and numerologist. God! What I didn’t know was that Shilpa’s own mother is an astrologer and ...

Yeah….!Because of my protest, Endemol has back-off from his latest reality TV show “The Big Donor”. To cover their embarrassing ass, they have made up a story….saying that there was never such kind of show going to happen, yeah they did have their artist and studio booked, but they was not going to perform any kidney transplant surgery (they got scared of the negative publicity). They just wanted to make a point to the Dutch government that how hard it is to find a kidney donor and that how long people have to wait to get a kidney transplant. I think its all bullshit….they don’t want to admit but I know they got scared and was forced to surrender.
