Nafisa Joseph and friend



Lonely at the Top
Beauty, brains, fame, money, youth, and a Miss India title in 1997. 25-year-old Nafisa Joseph seemed to have it all. And yet, the beautiful VJ committed suicide on July 30. A look at the murky side of glamor.
Showbiz remains an elusive, beautiful dream to many star struck young women and men. Who does not want to shine up there? But is life in showbiz as attractive as it seems? How does one work in a world, which barters youth in exchange for popularity and fame? Many beautiful women, drawn to the arc lights like moths to a flame, often find that they do so at the cost of their mental health. Women, especially, are more vulnerable. With no one to turn to and no support system, one hears of actresses who 'have it all' committing suicide out of the blue.

Showbiz is full of tragic examples - one of the most famous being the suicide of Divya Bharti, only 19, beautiful, successful and married to a film producer besides. She fell down from the balcony of her fifth floor apartment in 1993 and reports later suggested that she was suffering from depression. Many actresses, in fact, suffer from depression and barely scrape through while the more vulnerable ones succumb - like Nafisa did at the age of 25.
Nafisa started modeling when she was 12. As she grew up, Prasad Bidapa, a known 'model maker' in Bangalore, groomed her. Nafisa was crowned Miss India in 1997 - at the age of 18. Soon, she became even more popular as a VJ with music channel MTV hosting 'Housefull' for five years.
At heart, however, all that Nafisa wanted was to have a fulfilling relationship and a family of her own - both eluded her. She had been engaged to Sameer Malhotra of Bangalore and later to actor Sameer Soni. There were rumours of a romance with actor Rahul Bose. None of these worked out. However, it seemed like she had met her soul mate in businessman Gautam Khanduja who she described as caring and sensitive. There were even plans for getting married in August. But it was not to be. According to the police, the couple had been fighting not long before Nafisa decided to take the extreme step. Police said that there were injuries on her forearms and also on her neck and left eye. Though they could be self-inflicted and police suspect no foul play, police are trying to locate Khanduja in order to get a clear picture.

Her shocked friends described Nafisa as calm and never one to throw tantrums. A quiet and composed person, Nafisa always knew what she wanted and was confident of getting it. However, like all artists, there was also a very moody side to her, which she managed to hide well when she was modelling. And she was never a very open person, they say now.
Nafisa had admitted that loneliness was always a big problem - success breeds loneliness. And it was that loneliness that led to her untimely death.

I went to school with Nafisa in Bangalore (we were in the same class). I am SO saddended by this news. It's such a wasted life. She was always so calm in school, always collected - this is so unlike her. I am mortified that there are the anti-depressent drugs out there, that people get hooked on to. I am also moritfied that she could not find a single soul to talk to before she had to take this drastic step. For shame!

Ohhh.. Unbelievable,Nothingconsole at these times, May her soul rest in piece, Friends , when Nafisaor any one who commits suicide like this , it is only bcoz of loneliness and not being able to share thoughts, had she got some one not even close , but at least a person to talk this mishap could have been avoided,so even if u will see around , you will find a lot of guys suffering from the same ,Nafisa is gone , but you could.. save .. some one by a few kind thoughts and words

aayesh pan bewdi ani bapus pan bewda, hi pori konachi ??


Posted by Picasa
Risk nahi liya, toh kya kiyal

Our India Poised poll reveals that Young India today is more than willing to give up comfort for a dream, fight back injustice, and take up challenges!

we are ready to up the ante and keen to step out of our safety zones.

For instance, when they were asked if they would follow the example of a few IIM passouts, who recently gave up a crore plus offer to start their own enterprise, 34 per cent said yes without thinking twice.

Cricketer Yuvraj Singh echoes this, and reveals his mantra:"Take risks in life, venture into the unknown territory. Your mind should always be fearless." Is the ability to take risks inbuilt in the generally perceived-to-be-cautious Indians, or is it the impact of a growing economy and newfound prosperity? The answer, according to experts, is a bit of both.

Dipak C Jain, Dean, Kellogg School of Management, answers, "The reason why Indians are doing so well is because they're genetically programmed to take risks. You have to double-dare new opportunities." While Peter Bernstein, author of the best-selling book Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk, adds,

"It takes a particular kind of environment to take risks." Considering that the fables a country listens to best sum up its mind, here is an example. The respondents were reminded of the fable Three Fish where the fIsh had different responses upon hearing that a fIsherman was casting a net in their pond the next day, and asked which response they identifIed with.
NONA WALIA AND AViNASH KALLA Times News Network


Get a good education, get a secure job that you do till it is time to retire, and invest only in government bonds even if the rate of interest is less than the rate of inflation. In other words, lead secure and safe lives in your comfort zones. That is how India used to live. And then came a turn-around: Indians were taking risks, giving up cushy job offers in blue chip fIrms to turn entrepreneurs, redefming the limits in their personal and professional spheres and pushing the boundaries. This social change, riding primarily on the shoulders of India's GenX, was mirrored in the result of a nationwide Bombay Times poll that asked 18 to 25-year-olds if Young India was poised to take risks. The answer is yes. . .

'This generation has strong drive and ambition. Young India is taking risks in unexplored areas to give a different identity to the nation. Personally, I am willing to risk everything for my creative goals'
~INDIA POISED

.
DO INDIANS HAVE A RISK-TAKING ABILITY?
While 33 per cent said they identifIed with 'plan ahead and swim to another pond', 41 per cent went with 'think fast and come up with a plan at the moment'. Only 21 per cent were ready to 'wait and watch'.IIM alumni Sarath Babu, who chose to start his catering business over good offers, puts this attitude in perspective. '~er I graduated from IIM-A, it was a risk for me to start my own catering business. But to take a risk, you need to be clear about your purpose and have selfconfIdence. India simply needs 100 risk-taki:ng entrepreneurs to make it big." And the way it is going, India will have many, many more than 100. A sterling example is Nirav Talia, who passed up $10 million in Yahoo stock options to start epinions.com - a shopping-guide website. Says Tolia, "It was for a sense of adventure."
'After 11M-A, it was a risk for me to start my own catering business. But to take a risk, you need to be clear about your purpose and have selfconfidence. India simply needs 100 risk-taking entrepreneurs to make it big'
Copy a hit from elsewhere

GenX today stands by its convictions ~ doesn't care if it means putting themselves :::danger. Fifty-four per cent of responden~ that they will stand by their testimony in if they were a witness in a case like LalI's. Another 36 per cent would do the so long as Witness Protection Ie .assured their protection.

In other words, taking risks and back:ing what they think is right is a part of the youth'5 mindscape. For instance, 67 per cent Viill plain against their boss to his/her seniors t.they are being victimised and 62 per cent wi:take off to space if the fancy takes them. Says Smita Singh, 28, an adventure sports enthusiast, who undertook a risky trek to Rishik.e:s1i for a reality show, "It was dangerous, but f:The sense of achievement was overwhelming."

Interestingly, 36 per cent Indians agree "'.::....her, and defme risk-taking as going b jumping. For 40 per cent, giving up a job ::sucks without having anything in hand is a _~ risk. Another 61 per cent, would act i.nstar:r..'y!i they spot a snake under their child's bed.out thinking about the risks.Ramesh Ramanathan, who stare?"::Janaagraha after giving up his position a5 -~= European Head of Corporate Deffi-a.rI\"e5 Citibank, says, "Today, young India is afraid to take risks.

two nuts of different color



http://kauntext.blogspot.com/
she had her hair straightened
but she forgot to shave
Hey Dave,
Great news. I tried C + F with a girl I've knownfor over a year as a friend but would never dream of "approaching"...I asked her advice about fashion and took her shopping with me for clothes. I busted on her the whole time about looking at my ass, etc.

So a few days later I get a call. "What do you like to drink? How 'bout I stop by with some beers and hang out?"Between our second and third lovemaking sessions she apologizes for taking up my time, and confesses that she's not really looking for a relationship right now. Hopes I'm not mad. Pure gold, man. This woman is ten years younger and the highest paid stripper at a local bar. I'm broke,short, bald, cocky, and funny. Go figure.

I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way they have to live here in this country;

Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things that they believe in.

But, When they're runnin' down our country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Their, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Runnin' down a way of life,Our fightin' men have fought and tried to keep.
Well, If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'.
And when you're runnin' down our country, hoss,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.
An' I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'.

And when they're runnin' down our country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Aww, They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and tried to keep.
Well, If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'.
And when you're runnin' down our country, hoss,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yes, when you runnin' down our country, hoss
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

its half nekkid Tuesday


my hairy tits

Sunday, January 07, 2007

guidelines for "Half-Nekkid Thursday":

In that North American, Puritanical way that most of my readers think, "Nekkid", or its variations, somehow insinuates sex, or its variations.
WRONG!! The purpose of "Half-Nekkid Thursday" is not to see sex acts! It is the celebration of exposure. Of your big toe. Of your breastbone. Of your knuckles. Of your uvula. Whatever. Of course, sex acts can qualify, so if you want to post those.....

"Nekkid" is not the same as nude! Again, nude qualifies, but it is not a requirement!
Pictures should be taken of you or by you. Don't be going to some internet site and downloading "Half-Nekkid" pics. And don't use Uncle Bob's pictures from Spring Break '72, either. Let's try to keep this fairly "real".

You don't necessarily have to be the subject of the picture. By the same token, if you're not, then the subject(s) should be known to you. No fair going to the beach and snapping pictures left and right. Yes, they might be "Half-Nekkid", but they don't follow the spirit of "Half-Nekkid Thursday".

While animals can be included in a "Half-Nekkid Thursday" picture, they are not the focus, therefore cannot be the subject. If an animal is all that keeps your picture "Half-Nekkid" rather than "Full-Nekkid", that's OK.

You are allowed a very limited number of cute-kids-in-the-tub type of pictures. We're interested in YOU!

Use some originality with your shots. Facial shots should be limited. Artsy body landscapes, conversely, are highly encouraged. If a partner/family member is needed to take the picture, that's OK.

Props can help you with creativity, and their use is encouraged, but not necessary.
As we get into this, you may find that you want to post more than one picture for "Half-Nekkid Thursday". I would discourage this practice unless absolutely necessary. You should hold some pictures in reserve, in case you find yourself without a new picture down the road.

While I can hardly control when you post pictures on your own blogs, let's try to keep "Half-Nekkid Thursday" special, and post "Half-Nekkid" pics only on Thursdays. If you feel the urge to post them more than once a week, I might recommend just emailing them out, rather than posting.

Tattoos are certainly an acceptable subject, regardless of location. Scars are also acceptable, but please respect the others who visit "Half-Nekkid Thursday" on a regular basis. Spread out the scar pictures over a few weeks' time, please!

Speaking of scars--If you use a picture of a scar, it must be accompanied by some sort of humorous anectdote as to how you got it. For a long, but good example, go here.

Other skin conditions might not be acceptable, due to good taste. These include, but are not limited to warts, zits, lesions, ingrown hairs, boils, open sores, peeling skin, scabies, rashes, or any other assorted gross things. I'm not saying that you can't post them. Just use your best judgement, for the sake of the rest of us.
When referring to "Half-Nekkid Thursday", please spell it correctly! Not Naked, not Neked, not Nakid. It's "Half-Nekkid Thursday".
It's very important to not be dissing other's submissions! We're all going to have half-hearted entries from time to time. None of us is better than the other. One the other hand, it's completely acceptable to heap praise upon those that deserve it!

IMPORTANT!--Remember to visit my current "HNT" post and leave a comment indicating that you've posted a picture for "Half-Nekkid Thursday". Consider my blog as the informational kiosk for "Half-Nekkid Thursday". You'll be able to see who is joining the tradition. Commenting is much easier for all concerned, rather than updating my blog each time someone posts their picture. I will try to keep the Blogroll in my sidebar updated each week.

I hope that these guidelines help all of you. Get those cameras going! Posted by Picasa

a woman

Well I ain't never
Been the barbie doll type
No I can't swig that sweet champagne
I'd rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honky tonk
Or on a 4 wheel drive tailgate

I've got posters on my wall of Skynard, Kid and Strait
Some people look down on me
But I don't give a rip
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip

Cause I'm a redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"

And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song
So here's to all my sisters out there keepin' it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me

Hell Yeah Hell Yeah Victoria's Secret Well their stuff's real nice
Oh but I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal*Mart shelf half price

And still look sexy
Just as sexy As those models on TV

No I don't need no designer tag to make my man want me
You might think I'm trashy
A little too hard core
But get in my neck of the woods
I'm just the girl next door

Hey I'm redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long

And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me

Hell Yeah Hell Yeah I'm redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Ol' Bocephus song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country

Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

Hell Yeah
I Said Hell Yeah

Back to back, defending each other

Standing together, we're building the Kingdom of God

Growing together, we're building the Kingdom of God
