Amul Star Voice of India, Chotte Ustad, Star PlusFiled Under: Amul SVOI, Amul Star Voice of India, Star Plus, Star Voice Of India

Only three contestants were left for the final up till yesterday for the Amul Star Voice of India, Chotte Ustad.

But during the latest non-telecast shoot, Prakriti Giri has been eliminated from Amul Star Voice of India-Chhote Ustaad.  Everyone first deliberated that this 12-year-old girl from Darjeeling would tag along the route of Indian Idol 3 winner Prashant Tamang as she continued her balanced scramble in the show, making it to the top five. But dissimilar to Prashant, Prakriti failed to grasp enough votes from the audience which would have saved her from the elimination round. The elimination episode is yet to be telecast and will be aired this Friday.

While liked by the judges, Prakriti faced callous opponents in the form of Aishwarya from Ahmedabad and Anvesha Dutta from Kolkata. In all the voting episodes, Prakriti managed to confine sufficient amount of votes to stay in the battle. She also made a record of sorts by securing the highest number of votes in all the episodes.

Nevertheless, last week, Aishwarya beat her to the top smudge with the uppermost number of votes.   I see Aishwarya as queen of the show.  She knows how to catch the fancy of the crowd as she is a unadorned superb singer in accurate sagacity and consider it is all about promotion. If one is not marketing the capacity then I am afraid one might gap at the rear. Full marks to the Hon’ble judges, as they have made their target clear to all of us. Now Anwesha have to substantiate herself to choose the popular song. But in spite of all the dramas and political views, it is better if she  ponder on her singing only. Adesh precisely said; mike & camera don’t lie & of course when Pritam said, Anwesha is Anwesha. I think it means Anwesha is a brand and a class apart.

Not only India but the total world is behind you to witness the historic moment when history will be created on the Small screen as our Anwesha will be crowned Chhote Ustaad on 5th April ’08.

I am sorry, Aishwariya, I don’t see you in the crowning glory. You lack behind something, which is beyond me and my Team to articulate. Actually we see Anwesha as a full package. She has unfussiness, beauty, exquisiteness, traits, endowment, down to earth outlook, tremendous throw of voice, appropriateness of  her voice to many heroines and above all stupendous singing capabilities.
May I take this opportunity to request you all to kindly support Anwesha whole heartedly by sending maximum number of votes to her so as to enabling her winning this competition. 
It becomes incumbent upon us to back and support right talent and that is only ANWESHA.

Deepika Padukone very candid on the Kapoor familyFiled Under: Bollywood, Box Office

Desi windowslivewriterdeepikapadukoneverycandidonthekapoorfami-6d7ddeepika-padukone-189 Deepika Padukone very candid on the Kapoor family

When Deepika Padukone met her idol, Rishi Kapoor not as a fan but Rishi’s son’s girlfriend she was flabbergasted and said “It’s amazing. But in his younger days my dad (badminton champ Prakash Padukone) was often told that he resembled Rishi Uncle. I grew up as his big fan, have seen Karz and Kabhi Kabhie number of times. When Ranbir took me to meet his parents, I was re-living my childhood images of the most compatible couple I’ve ever seen on screen.”
Even the Kapoors has welcomed their would be daughter in law that’s why Deepika feels “Rishi Uncle is so warm. As for Neetu Aunty, she has an aura of natural grace and charm about her. She’s very poised and articulate. I’ve met her more than I’ve met Uncle. Me and Rishi uncle are going to be working toge

ther. We had a reading together recently. He’s so passionate about cinema. I’ve so much to learn from him.” 

 

Deepika cannot go on without appreciating the Kapoors, she has lot of regard to both of them which is apparent from her statement which says “Both Ranbir and his sister Ridhima have been brought up with the right values. They come from such an illustrious family. And yet they’re so down-to-earth. I see many similarities between their upbringing and mine. Though both Ranbir and I were exposed to celebrity situations from childhood, our parents have made sure we’re firmly rooted to reality.”
When asked about their marriage, Deepika expressed that “we’re both very comfortable in our relationship. Now that we’ve come out in the open about our relationship, our parents are very happy. Beyond that it’s too early to talk about marriage.”
About her affair with Yuvraj and on the impressionable comment made by Yuvraj, Deepika says confidently that “I really don’t think she said anything against me. If she had a grudge she’d call me up and talk to me. I always say that no outside source can know what kind of a relationship two people share. I spoke to her after the statements attributed to her came out. I’ve always shared a fantastic rapport with her. She’s a wonderful and strong person. I’ve learnt a lot from her. As a woman and mother, I look up to Yuvraaj’s mother. She’s a multi-tasking mother. She has single-handedly brought up her two children. Yuvraaj is doing extremely well for himself. And his younger brother who has just started out is also doing very well himself. I wish the family all the best.”

Women’s Day, 8th March , Bollywood Babes talk to usFiled Under: Bollywood, India, Indians, Interviews

Desi windowslivewriterwomensday8thmarch-104cbwomens-day-405 Women’s Day, 8th March , Bollywood Babes talk to us

Bollywood’s leading ladies say they have never felt mediocre to men and mull over opportunities are escalating for women in the country. 
On Womens Day today i.e. 8th March,2008 ,BestDesi.com asked Bollywood stars on what they feel being a woman , this is what they opined:

Shilpa Shetty:Shilpa Shetty As a woman I’ve nothing to grumble about. Today when I go abroad I’m proud to symbolize my film fraternity, my gender, my country and myself. I guess I’ve been singularly lucky. I realize there’re so many women in our country who are still aggressive to earn a living. But I think things are varying very fast. Opportunities for women aren’t incomplete any longer. 

 

Hema Malini: Hema Malini  I’m proud to be a woman and an Indian. With the prominence that I’ve achieved I’ve no problem getting what I want. But I know it isn’t so with a lot of women in our country. I sympathize with their distress and I do want to work towards getting better their lot. That’s one of the reasons I joined politics.

Ekta Kapoor : Ekta Kapoor Being a woman is no annoyance. Though I won’t say it’s an benefit either in today’s India - at least not in the corporate world. Yet lots of women in rural India are made to believe they’re deprived by their gender. Yes gender bias is fading. I think our inherent advantage as women is that we’re stronger than men even though we’re more perceptive.
 

 

Bipasha Basu:  Bipasha Basu  The new Indian woman cuts across all age groups and class structures. We acclimatize better to situation because we are not playing by the rules of others. We are flexible and are able to bounce back from every prospect. I know women who go to work, take care of house and home, and be mothers without breaking a step. I don’t know many men who can do that. Somehow we never tire out ourselves as much in the place of work as men do.

Mother Assaulting her kid in Car Wash,Caught on TapeFiled Under: Video, Videos

Security cameras caught a strange case of child abuse in a car wash bay at the Magical Car Wash in Orlando. They show a woman spraying a toddler with a high pressure hose while another woman watches. The footage shows the toddler attempt to run away, but she is grabbed and pinned to the wall as she is prayed on the legs, back and even her face. The manager of the car wash didn’t see the abuse until she watched the footage, but she did hear the little girl crying after the incident. She alas heard the woman state, “You’re going to learn to respect me. You don’t treat me bad. You don’t mistreat me; I’m your mother.” Footage also shows the girl being stripped naked, while the two women grabbed a towel and put her back in the car. Once investigators locate the women, they said the mother will likely face child abuse charges.

 

While I certainly agree that this hose would not be sufficient to do permanent harm to the kid’s skin, it is still certainly strong enough to cause a very high level of pain at that range, much more than a child that age should endure. Children feel pain much more intensely than adults do.

She was arrested, And “The mother told a detective she is five months pregnant with her second child.”
Why are these people allowed to breed? by carcass350

Also this is not that shocking in the state of Florida which is known for its behaviour.

Meet Indian women detective Bhawana Paliwal

Desi windowslivewriterrarefemaleindiandetectivebhawanapaliwal-f7bbbhawana-paliwal-59 Rare: Female Indian Detective Bhawana Paliwal

Women are there in all types of job stream, teaching, secretatrial work, police, doctor etc.etc.  But her job is different.  Meet  Bhavna Paliwal of New Delhi is, a private detective being hired by Indian brides to investigate about their suitors.

Bhavna Paliwal, is among one of India’s wedding detectives, who are being hired here in growing numbers to dig out out the truth about prospective mates.

In India, hiring a wedding detective like that of Paliwal has become a familiar prenuptial habit, as important as the heavy wedding gold and the multi-cuisine ten-course meal served on plates.

Confidential detectives are in business in India for several years but today their services are more essential than before. As there  is a tremendous enhancement in the business class of Delhi, so is the augment of dowries. Those dowries, in turn, have boosted the encouragement for hoax.

Grooms from United States come in haste, marry, then rush back home with the booty, leaving behind what have become known as “abandoned brides”. Meanwhile, in India, young couples who meet over the internet are getting away with lies that gossip would once have exposed.

Anupam Mittal, founder of Shaadi.com, an internet portal that celebrated its millionth match last year says,

Reality byte: Men can’t pardon…study revealsFiled Under: Men

 

Desi windowslivewriterrealitybytemencantpardonstudyreveals-1258dmenoutfits-13 Reality byte: Men can’t pardon…study reveals
  • A recent  US study revels that forgiveness does not come in natural for both sexes, but males find it difficult to forgive than females. In forgiveness-related studies conducted by the US-based Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, gender differences between men and women time and again came into existence.
  • Forgiveness not only mean forgetting, condoning or excusing on bad things happened. But one has to acknowledge it and then let it go, along with the load of irritation and hatred.
  • Another previous study has revealed that forgiveness may be good for ones health as holding a complaint appears to affect the cardiovascular and nervous systems. According psychologist Julie Juola Exline, men find it difficult to forgive compared to women do, who conducted the present study between 1998 and 2005 with more than 1,400 college students.
  • Nevertheless, it is found that men become less merciless if they develop compassion toward an offender.
  • The researchers, however, found that both sexes are more forgiving when they see themselves as capable of committing a similar action, the Science Daily online said.
