The Rise of the Dumb Blonde and Other Miscellaneous Topics…

Its true, I’m back to blogging Bollywood again and it’s also true, I’m back with a vengeance!
The last few years have seen many a new Bollywood entrant. Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Freida Pinto, Genelia D’souza… However diverse their backgrounds may be, they all have one thing in common- they all come across as airheads and damsels in distress! Watch a few interviews and you will know what I’m talking about. Sure, they’re all blessed with good looks but there is that certain spark that’s missing in all of them. Compare them with the likes of Madhuri Dixit, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwariya Rai & Preity Zinta- they too can act but they also possess an ounce of intelligence and wit. One will never come across them talking gibberish in the media and they always carry themselves with utmost grace and dignity. It’s a pity the airheads seem to be dethroning the smart Alecs what with all their “interesting” (note the sarcasm) tales about boyfriends, husbands, divorces, live-ins, break-ups… did I miss something? Work??? Nah, they never talk much sense about that do they?

Speaking of movies, we couldn’t have asked for a better time for the multiplex strike to be called off… right on the day the exams ended! Although I’ve only seen Angels and Demons so far, the line up of big banner movies sure seems promising. About Angels & Demons, it was great that I didn’t remember a word of the book I read 3 years ago… the suspense was sustained all through the movie and just like was the case with the book, I liked Angels and Demons way better than the Da Vinci Code…
I also had the misfortune of watching “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”… I’m sure SRK was high and unaware of his actions when he signed the movie. How else does one explain him being part of such a waste of resources in a thoroughly disappointing film?!?!? I’d rather not waste my blogspace writing about it now…

I’m also kinda glad I missed out on the IPL and the T20 this time. IPL was devoid of the slaps and sledging while T20… the lesser said the better!

Anyway, that’s all for now folks! It sure is great to be back!!! Coming soon, ‘Confessions of a Twenty year old Drama Queen’ and a guide on how to cope with no longer being a teenager!

P.S. - No one’s being racist here… ‘dumb blonde’ is just a commonly used expression which went really well with the title of this post. If u wanna witness racism, or take action against it, I suggest you pack off to Australia, my friend!

P.S. again- The Apprentice is back!!! Watch it at 9.00pm, Wednesdays only on Star World!
