From 1999 to 2001 things were hunky dory between the beautiful damsel and macho superstar. Salman visited Aishwarya’s home frequently and the neighbors saw them together often. However, this was one love affair that was not fated to succeed and in March 2002 they broke up with Aishwarya taking the decision that the macho hero wasn’t faithful to her. Salman, being a possessive person retaliated as he couldn’t accept her denial. Aishwarya later stated that she was thankful to God, as the nightmare, the Salman Khan chapter was over. The actress accused him of harassing her family and her for which a police complaint was lodged formally.

During the shooting of Kuch Na Kaho in which Abhishek was the film’s hero incidentally, Salman is known to even have pushed Aishwarya down on to the floor. The same thing happened again later in a film in which Aishwarya was acting with Shah Rukh Khan and when Shah Rukh intervened, Salman abused him and the relationship between the two top actors soured which continues till date. Salman had made claims that his love for Aishwarya was pure and he wasn’t hounding her. He loved her for the respect she had for her parents, she being the traditional Indian girl.

Raveena Tandon – Does Not Feel Quite Happy With Stick Thin Girls
Raveena Tandon disapproves stick thin girls and especially in the glamour industry. These stick thin girls have made it quite tough for curvy women like her. However she seems to be very happy with her body’s curvy shape. While speaking to the media she said that she has always believed in femininity, grace and elegance in women. It’s a tragedy that women, in today’s times are stick-thin which has made life tougher for other women who are not as stick thin. She said this at the unveiling clothes designed by Sonankshi Raja to be showcased Lakme Fashion Week that is coming up shortly.

Top Bill-ing: Black BMF Wallet

One of the most unique characteristics about genuine leather wallets is the ability to have it customized.  Of course with customization you want to be able to have something that is truly and uniquely you – or you can have something that’s already designed, something that is memorable and will strike a conversation.  Perhaps a wallet that comes to mind is the black BMF wallet, the wallet that was so carefully highlighted in the movie Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino’s epic film in 1994. 

If you want something that is thought provoking or something that strikes up a conversation then this is it.  It’s one thing to have a wallet; it’s another thing to have one that strikes up a little curiosity.  It is also part of perhaps one of the most talked about, genius films to ever be made. 

The Benefits

There are a lot of benefits to having the black BMF wallet.

  • It’s part of movie history.  People like collecting movie memorabilia and this is about as good as it gets. 
  • Long lasting.  Yes, it is long lasting because it is made with leather.  There are many materials that wallets are made of but leather has the best results. 
  • Virtually indestructible.  Leather is hard to wear down.  In fact one of the reasons why it is long lasting is the ability to maintain its form after all the abuse has been issued out. 
  • It’s just fun.  A plain leather wallet doesn’t really induce a lot of excitement.  However, if there is something that has a creative element to it, people can have a little more fun. 

If you haven’t seen the movie, it’s worth watching.  Then you’ll know why having a black BMF wallet can be fun to have. One thing people need to have are wallets.  As much use as a wallet gets used over the period of its life there must be something durable to get through that much pain.  Leather has fit the bill (no pun intended) for years.

I Am A Geek!

Yes, it's true.  I am a geek I must confess and all is revealed in my book In At The Geek End now available on Amazon Kindle for just £0.77 and paperback.  If you have a clever or weird format, you can try Smashwords and if you can do a review (good, bad, or indifferent) on Amazon or even spread the word, that would be just great.

The book, a humorous autobiographical novel, charts a period of my life in the 80's and 90's during which I worked in the defence business on computer systems.  Despite the formal environment, the people and circumstances I found myself in were quite crazy.  I tried to escape the cocktail of madness and tedium by embarking on some wayward pursuits and business ventures - all depicted in the book in scary detail!

So, I do hope you enjoy my nerdish work of literature and be warned - there will be a sequel!
