Top 10 Hottest Indian Women

1. Padma Lakshmi

Deepika might be the most beautiful woman from India at the moment but there are Indian women who left the country to impress the whole world. Imagine a really, really hot girl who not only can spice your bedroom but she’s also a top level cook who can spice it up in the kitchen too. That’s exactly what Padma Lakshmi is, a model, actress, author and tv host of multiple cooking shows including Top chef. She’s more woman than most guys can handle and she definitely has the total package to impress a man. If we also add the fact that she’s not like the rest of Indian women who prefer to hide their delightful bodies, this babe has it all. That’s why we consider Padma Lakshmi as being the Hottest Indian Woman.

2. Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone is a new sensation in India where even though she’s pretty young she’s probably the most successful babe from this country. Indians are totally in love with her and say she’s the most beautiful girl from their country and we surely agree with that. She was a top caliber badminton player while she was in high school but show business took her way and not only she’s the most popular actress at the moment but she’s also a world class model doing work for Close-up, Maybelline, Tissot and other well known brands.

3. Riya Sen

Riya Sen is a well known Bollywood Actress who grew up in a family of other Bollywood Actors and Indian Royalty. Aside from being incredibly hot, she’s really short, or at least that’s how the guys from HolyTaco describe her. Compared to other Indian actresses this babe loves to show off her body and that gets extra points from us.

4. Mallika Sherawat

Mallika Sherawat began her career as an air hostess while obtaining her degree in Indian Philosophy and after she finished her studies she decided to try her luck and pursue her Bollywood dreams. So far, she’s living it up and she’s one of the best in the field. Not only she’s really belautiful, but she’s also pretty smart so that would make her a pretty great package.

5. Freida Pinto

So guess what? Freida Pinto is also an Indian actress but compared to rest of the actress who appear in those silly movies she went for something bigger and she appeared in Slumdog Millionaire. I’m a bit impressed that movie was so successful because if you’d ask me, that movie was shit. Anyway, after her appearance in this movie her fame went global and she also made some sensual pics to please our eyes.

6. Koena Mitra

Apparently Koena Mitra is a fantastic dancer after she practiced dancing for about 12 years. Probably those great dance numbers on the screen made her really popular in India, but my full attention goes to her stunning body! Of course, I’d love to see this tight body doing a private dance for me, but dressed as I say. Koena is not like other Indian women who hide most of their bodies and we even found some drool inducing pictures with her.

7. Aishwarya Rai

You would be surprised to see how many people consider Aishwarya Rai as being the most beautiful woman in the world. For me, yeah, she’s hot, she has probably the most amazing eyes you’ll every see but since she’s not showing too much skin she’s not as hot as others. She won the Miss World title lots of years ago and besides being one of the most popular Indian actresses she was also named of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.

8. Bipasha Basu

Guess what? According to Wikipedia Bipasha Bassu is another Indian model who turned to acting and mainly appears in Bollywood films. It seems that if you’re hot in India, the most amazing thing you could do is play in their movies which is not great, right? Anyway, Bipasha is apparentlythe winner of a Supermodel contest and she’s now one of the most popular actresses from this country.

9. Priyanka Chopra

I’m sure most of you already heard this name or have seen her before. Priyanka Chopra gained fame after winning the Miss World Title back in 2000 and after that she started working as a model and also entered the movie industry from Bollywood. She made it to a couple of films, probably successful locally but I’m sure we’d all like to see more of her as a model rather than seeing her movies.

10. Neha Dhupia

Neha Dhupia is a hot Indian actress who appears in… guess what? Bollywood films, of course. Any movie in which actors sing and dance seems gay for me but in India this is something regular and that’s how they like their movies. Weird tastes I’d say, right? Anyway, Neha is a former beauty queen and also won Femina Miss India 2002, which is a lot since the country has that many women.

10 Lavish Modern Royal Weddings

1. Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum of Dubai & Sheikha Hind Bint Maktoum (1979)

The king of Dubai’s wedding was more of a national festival than a nuptial. A 20,000 seater stadium was purpose built for the ceremony which featured displays of horse and camel riding and an aerobatics display by the Dubai Air Force. The total cost, when adjusted for inflation, is estimated to be around $100 million. You have to trust the Emiratis to overdo it.

2. Prince Charles of United Kingdom and Diana Spencer (1981)

Perhaps the wedding of the generation, this captivating ceremony was broadcasted live to an audience of 750 million people. Diana’s infamous wedding gown featured a 25 foot train, 8 meter long veil and a $15000 bill. The entire show cost around $50 million.

3. Prince Felipe of Spain and Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano (2004)

A wedding that will sadly be remembered for things other than the wedding itself. Crown Prince Felipe’s choice was an award winning news reporter and divorcee who he met when she was covering the sinking of the Prestige oil tanker in 2002. The wedding was held at the Cathedral Nuestra Senora de la Almudena in Madrid, which witnessed a massive one million flower plantation campaign and other excessive decorative sieges. The event was secured by 18,000 policemen and soldiers, since 191 people had been killed by subway bombings in the city only two months ago. This huge security effort pumped the cost of the wedding up to a staggering $29 million. Other highlights included an uninvited retired Colonel managing to sneak in with a gun and a royal Italian fistfight between Prince Vittorio Emanuele and Duke Amedeo.

4. Prince Rainier of Monaco and Grace Kelly (1956)

The Monacoan prince, who once dumped a girlfriend because she was infertile, was perhaps the most eligible bachelor of his time. He met the Hollywood icon in Cannes and the ball was soon rolling. The real cost of the wedding has been never ascertained but is estimated to be in tens of millions of dollars. Prince Rainer’s father demanded a $2 million dowry and the bride’s father Jack Kelly paid half of that. The prince gifted his bride a 147-foot yacht called “Deo Juvante II” and the couple spent their honeymoon on the same boat, with Kelly being frequently seasick.

5. King Mohammed VI and Lalla Salma Bennani (2002)

This wedding was significant not only for the massive bill but also for being a rather ‘modern’ affair. The King met the 24 year old computer engineer at a party and the couple were soon engaged. In breaking with tradition, the engagement was announced on television and the bride was actually shown with the King, a far cry from the secretive wives and harems Mohammad’s father had kept. Their wedding encompassed a tradition royal function, in which the bride was kept completely covered, and a massive public celebration in Rabat, attended by dignitaries such as Bill and Chelsea Clinton. The entire festival is thought to have cost tens of millions of dollars.

6. Prince Pavlos of Greece and Denmark and Marie-Chantal Miller (1995)

The Greek crown prince-in-exile and prince of Denmark, Prince Pavlos’s wedding to the American heiress saw the biggest gathering of royalty since Queen Elizabeth’s wedding to Prince Philip in 1947. The event was organized by Lady Elizabeth Anson, Queen Elizabeth’s cousin who chose the iconic St. Sophia’s Cathedral in London as the venue. The equally ornate reception by Miller, who reportedly carried a $130 million dowry, cost $8 million. Not everyone was happy though and the wedding was billed as “provocative” by the Greek socialist government.

7. Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah of Brunei and Sarah Saleh (2004)

The Brunei royalty is well known for flaunting its wealth and royal weddings are certainly no exception. The 30 year old crown Prince Billah’s traditional Malay wedding to the 17 year old commoner Saleh was held at the 1788 room royal palace and was laced with the usual gems and gold. The highlights included a 15 minute fireworks display viewed by over 20,000 spectators, a 5 mile 100 limousine royal parade and a $5 million price tag. However, even all this might have been upstaged by Princess Hajah Bulqiah’s wedding 3 years later.

8. Princess Victoria of Sweden and Daniel Westling (2010)

When Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden announced her intention to marry her personal trainer Daniel Westling, her father King Carl XVI Gustaf was reportedly “shocked”. The sheer opulence of the wedding has been compared with that of Charles and Diana’s nuptials and cost more than $3 million. The ceremony took place in Stockholm Cathedral in front of 15 kings and queens (and Tiger Wood’s mother-in-law) while 250,000 people lined the streets. The event did raise a furor in equality-minded Sweden with 57,000 people joining a Facebook group to protest against the public expense and the King’s public approval ratings plummeting. Rumor has it that the King had advised the Princess to “have a go” at Prince Andrew.

9. Prince Phillipe of Belgium and Countess Mathilde d’Udekem d’Acoz (1999)

Prince Phillipe’s wedding to the aristrocratic speech therapist was unusual for taking place in the cold winter months. This however did nothing to cool down the expenditures and the ceremony went ahead with the usual royal flair. The guests included Japan’s Crown Prince Naruhito and Prince Charles. The princess’s wedding gown, designed by Edouard Vermeulen, has been hailed as one of the most stylish royal wedding dresses of the last century. Decorations for the cathedral, where the ceremony was held, alone cost $250,000. Interestingly, Princess Mathilde is the first Belgian-born royal consort in the Monarchy’s history.

10. Prince Haakon Magnus of Norway and Mette-Marit Tjessem Hoiby (2001)

These days, any wedding taking place in Oslo is going to be an expensive affair, let alone a highly talked about royal wedding. Prince Haakon’s wedding plans kicked up quite a storm in Norway due to the fact the Mette-Marit was a single mother who had been quite a raver in her time and the father of her child had a history of drug related offences. The lavish ceremony went ahead without any glitches though and had distinguished royalty from all over Europe in attendance

Top 10 Female Directors

For decades, the world of directing was a male dominated landscape. While there have been female directors since the inception of cinema in the late Nineteenth century, few have ever garnered the same success or recognition as their male peers. This list is devoted to ten of the greatest female directors who ever lived. They were women who challenged the medium and helped innovate it throughout the decades. This list is arranged chronologically from when they released their first film.

1. Sofia Coppola

The only daughter of the legendary Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia Coppola has had the burden of living up to one of the most towering legacies in cinematic history. If her recent work is any indication, she is quickly becoming a fitting successor to her father. While her first film, The Virgin Suicides, was a minor commercial and critical success, it wasn’t until 2003 with the release of Lost in Translation that she received major attention. Her next film, Marie Antoinette, was cooly received by both audiences and critics. However, it was her latest film, Somewhere, where she proved that she was not a one-hit wonder. The film won the Golden Lion at the 67th Venice International Film Festival, making her the first female American director to win the prize. At only 40 years old, Sofia Coppola has a long, and rich, career in directing ahead of her.

2. Mira Nair

Originally a documentary film-maker from India, Mira Nair has established herself as one of India’s greatest directors, regardless of gender. Her breakout work, Salaam Bombay!, which documented the lives of children living in Bombay, won her international accolades from the Cannes Film Festival, Montréal World Film Festival, and many other film organizations. She delved into the world of fiction film with Mississippi Masala which starred Denzel Washington. Since then, she has proven herself to be a cinematic chameleon, able to change and adapt to different genres and cultural settings for her films. Her more notable works include Monsoon Wedding, an examination of Indian cultural traditions set against an arranged marriage ceremony and Vanity Fair, an adaptation of the William Thackeray novel which depicts the trials of social hierarchy in post-colonial England.

3. Claire Denis

Since the start of her career, Claire Denis has created a large body of work that examines the West’s place in other Countries. More often than not, her films involve immigrants or characters living in Africa, not doubt inspired by her own childhood living in colonial African countries in the Fifties. Her debut film, Chocolat, was a participant in the 1988 Cannes Film Festival and examined a French family living in Cameroon. Her most famous film, Beau Travail, was an existential exploration of a group of foreign legion troops living in Djibouti. More recently, she has earned international acclaim with her films 35 Rhums and White Material. In addition to her large body of feature films, Denis has an impressive collection of short films and documentaries to her credit. With an eye for careful cinematic construction, Claire Denis is one of Europe’s most important modern auteurs.

4. Lone Sherfig

The Danish director Lone Scherfig has just begun to receive acclaim and fame in the States with the release of her film An Education. The film was the story of British journalist Lynn Barber’s early life and her quest for identity. However, for those who know a thing or two about European cinema, Scherfig has been one of their most acclaimed female directors. She first gained recognition for Italian for Beginners, a film that was made as part of the Dogme 95 movement. This comedy won the hearts of audiences at the Berlin Film Festival where it won the Jury Grand Prix Silver Bear. She would continue to make several critically acclaimed films such as Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself. Her most recent film, One Day starring Anne Hathaway, is set for release later in August of this year.

5. Jane Campion

One of the most critically acclaimed female film-makers in recent history, Jane Campion has a distinguished career of directing bold and artistically stunning films. While she stresses that she doesn’t identify herself as a feminist film-maker, her films are full of fiercely strong, independent women who often clash with society. She gained early notoriety for Sweetie, a black comedy about a severely dysfunctional family. However, notoriety turned to fame and acclaim with the release of An Angel at My Table, dramatization of the life of famous New Zealand author Janet Frame. However, her most famous work is The Piano, a film about the tribulations of two women in nineteenth century New Zealand. The film won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and snatched three Academy Awards.

6. Kathryn Bigelow

Kathryn Bigelow is probably the most well known entry on this list for her masterpiece The Hurt Locker which won the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Academy Award for Best Director. Bigelow holds the distinction of being the first female to ever win the Best Director award. But while she may have only reached major mainstream success in the last decade, Bigelow has been making films since the early 80s. Her two other major successes were the action-packed Point Break starring starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves and the bleak military thriller K-19: The Widowmaker. She is now hard at work on her next project, a film about Osama Bin Laden which is scheduled for release in 2012.

7. Agnès Varda

Few female film-makers have been as widely beloved and imitated as Agnès Varda. She was one of the central members of the Rive Gauche (Left Bank) cinema movement along such legendary talents as Chris Marker and Alain Resnais. Her films were highly personal, artistically stunning, and extremely influential, inspiring the members of the French New Wave film movement who would go on to permanently change the status quo of the cinema. Her most famous films, La Pointe Courte and Cléo de 5 à 7, were touchstones of French cinema. Never afraid to turn the camera on herself, she was a master at both narrative films and documentaries, creating some of the most challenging examinations of French society such as The Gleamers and I and Vagabond.

8. Maya Deren

Maya Deren was a woman of many talents. She was an accomplished dancer, choreographer, and photographer. But she is perhaps remembered the most for her innovative and avant-garde films. Maya Deren was one of the cinema’s greatest experimental film-makers. Her two most famous works are Meshes of the Afternoon and At Land. The first was a surreal piece that was circular and highly symbolic in nature. Meshes of the Afternoon has since been come to be accepted as one of the greatest experimental films ever made, gaining the admiration of such artists as David Lynch. At Land was a dream-like recounting of one woman’s strange adventures in a quest for self-identity. Since her death, Deren has been widely accredited as a key figure in both experimental and independent film-making.

9. Leni Riefenstahl

Originally a dancer and actress, Leni Riefenstahl began her life as a film-maker by directing Das Blaue Licht (The Blue Light). From there, she became one of the preeminent German film-makers of the era. Her masterpiece was a documentary on the Nuremberg Rally entitled Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will). Despite its subject matter, the film has since been heralded as one of the most important and influential documentaries ever made. The film revolutionized the documentary. She continued her work with the seminal documentary feature Olympia, which covered the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. This massive feature, nearing almost four hours in length, once again has come to be regarded as a masterpiece of documentary film-making. Due to her connections and avid support of the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler in particular, Riefenstahl became a post World War Two-pariah. She would only direct two films after the war. Despite her politics and the content of her work, Riefenstahl has been accepted as one of the greatest female film-makers to ever live.

10. Alice Guy-Blaché

Alice Guy-Blaché deserves the number one spot on this list simply because she was the first female filmmaker…ever. Over her entire career, she had a hand in the production of over 1,000 films. Between the years 1902-1906 she directed more than 100 synchronized sound films, a herculean achievement given the technological limitations of the day. Originally working in France, she played a pivotal role in the development of narrative film-making. After Marrying's she moved to the United States where she founded the Solax Company, the largest film studio in America before the advent of Hollywood. In addition to being a director, she was a screenwriter who penned many of her films. Sadly, Alice Guy-Blaché has largely faded into obscurity.

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

 

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

 

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

 

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

 

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

 

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering.  And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

 

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

 

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers.  You consider that to be evidence that prayer works.  And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

 

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

10.

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
- Captain Corelli’s Mandolin6. “Love is the beauty of the soul.”
