@Lord_Voldermort7

Remember ages ago I told you about another song I became obsessed with? Christina Perri’s Jar of Hearts, well I never fancied that the one who cannot be named had taken a shine to her lyrics too!

I discovered this Twitter profile when I was posting our Hottie of the Day Tom Felton and noticed a Tweet from The Dark Lord on his wall!

@TomFelton

Tom Felton

Move over Harry Potter, Malfoy was always our real heartthrob. I’m always more interested in the bad boys, and being a die-hard HP fan, that meant only one thing – Draco aka Tom Felton. I have to add, from all the boys in harry potter series; Tom was the only one who grew up cute. Disagree with me? Well then tell me why you do in the comments.

Urmila Matondkar

Urmila Matondkar is one of those people who have the ability to set the screen on fire – she is hot, and that translates into smoldering screen presence and, of course, some of the best dances in Bollywood. Since this lovely lady celebrates her birthday today, let’s have a look at some of her best songs during her career.

1. Rangeela Re – Rangeela

If there’s one song which Urmila will be remembered for, it’s probably gonna be this one. She manages to look both adorably cute and flat-out sexy within the space of those 5 minutes.

2. Tanha Tanha – Rangeela

It’s a task not to put all the songs from Rangeela on her, but if another one’s making the list, it had to be this one. Maybe it’s because I have a soft spot for it – Tanha Tanha was my first stage performance! ;)

3. Chamma Chamma – China Gate

Remember how wildly popular this song was back in the days? Definitely one of Urmila’s more famous songs. And for the girl who’s branded as ‘sexy’ quite often, she sure rocks the traditional wear.

4. Kambakth Ishq – Pyar Tune Kya Kiya

Urmila plays a crazed lover in this film, and it shows in Kambakth Ishq – her expressions are smoldering and her moves frenzied.

5. Aa Hi Jaiye – Lajja

Urmila is smokin’ in this song – from her outfits, to her moves, and of course the way she uses those eyes of hers.

What are your favourite Urmila Matondkar songs?

Lucky Morani, Sulaiman Merchant, Bina & Talat Aziz, Salim Merchant

Le Club Musique is an exclusive club offering musical entertainment across different genres for their members. The club, headlined by Lucky Morani and Bina Aziz, had it’s launch event at the Trident in Mumbai recently, featuring vocals by Salim-Sulaiman, Sonu Nigam, Shaan, Talat Aziz, Pankaj Udas and Anup Jalota. It was a fun-filled night with some of the best in the music industry, and I’ve got all the details for you!

Salim-Sulaiman

The main act was by Salim-Sulaiman, where they performed to several of my favourite songs, including Aye Khuda and Aashayein. They were also joined by Shadab Faridi on vocals for some songs, because Salim had a bit of a throat problem. Shadab sang O Re Piya, Haule Haule and more – he has a lovely voice! Percussionist Karsh Kale from New York also played at the event; he was really good as well.

Karsh Kale

Of course, when you’ve got some of the most amazing singers under one roof, you can’t pass up the opportunity to have them sing. Salim and Sulaiman did just that, calling Talat Aziz, Sonu Nigam, Shaan, Pankaj Udas and Anup Jalota up for a song each. They were all spontaneous performances and a lot of fun; it really is something else when you’ve got all of them on one stage singing together! If this is what Le Club Musique will be like, well, I think it sounds like my definition of awesome.

Anup Jalota and Sonu Nigam

I think a lot of people agreed it was amazing – everyone seemed to be either soaking in the music during a slower song, or clapping and singing along during a faster one. Sonu Nigam in particular seemed to be enjoying it; actually, he was so invested in the performances that he got up and went to tell the sound engineers that the sound was a bit off (which it was – too loud at one point). They promptly fixed it, to which Sonu, once in his seat, turned around and gave a thumbs up. Cute!

Salim Merchant and wife, Jeanne

The cutest thing was when Salim’s wife, Jeanne, started yelling “More music!” at the end of their performance. I don’t think she wanted the night to end, and well, who could blame her? But luckily for Jeanne the night wasn’t over; DJ Khushi took the stage for the after party and played an awesome set.

Alka Yagnik

Also spotted at the event were Alka Yagnik and Shahid Kapoor, who I can’t believe I missed – I still don’t know how it happened; maybe he showed up only for the after party.

Shahid Kapoor

Also, remember the time I told you about how I had asked Salim for a photo during the Love Breakups Zindagi music launch, but never got one? Well… success! ;)

Lakeview Resort

@MissMalini at Lake View Resort

Mumbai getting to you? Craving some peace and quiet? Looking for a quick getaway? With final wedding preparations hitting a fevered pitch this week, we sure did! We decided to accept an invitation from Greenarth Leisure to check out Lakeview Resort, an up and coming leisure development spread over 80 acres of land in Vikramgad, about 2 hours outside Mumbai. Bordered by a private natural lake and a river, Lakeview features a clubhouse with 8 guestrooms, conference facilities, and a newly built swimming pool. We were sold on the idea of a quick, mid-week getaway to go boating on the lake and horse-riding on the resort’s two horses!

Open Skies

Adrenaline junkies also have the option of ATV rides, but lazier souls such as ourselves were intrigued by the idea of whittling time away at the property’s fishing pond. Once complete, the property will also feature roughly 140 weekend villas (as of now only the sample villa is up but 75 have been pre-sold) with a central garden and sports facilities. Until then, the surrounding property consists mainly of open space and clean air, a welcome change from the congestion and traffic snarls of the city. Aside from its natural landscape, Lakeview is making a big bet on affordability – a membership for 30 room nights, spread over 10 years, costs Rs. 30,000 (or Rs. 1000 a night). Greenarth has ambitious plans to build up to 30 more such properties across Maharashtra and Goa, all centered on the theme of the quick getaway. After our relaxing day away, we look forward to visiting some more of them!

Breathe Carolina

“And when you say I’m not ok…” I do believe Breathe Carolina has hit upon something special there with Blackout. I shall continue to listen to it on repeat till you send me another song Arjun, gracias!

PS. Here’s another gem he sent me some time ago; The Fear by Lily Allen, (yes of course I remember!) he even played it on his Pirate Radio set. Ah! Those were the days… listen to his whole playlist here. xoxo

Crocs

MissMalini as you know is having a beach wedding and in between the wedding celebrations she’s organised some games to entertain her beach buddies. To make the games enticing and to bring out that fun competitive spirit, she is giving away as prizes some colourful Crocs.! Not only are they great for the beach, but they come in so many amazing colours. My favourite are the new metallic shades (above), the purple are gorgeous!

Lime Green Crocs

From the likes of Angelina Jolie, to my little cousins, Crocs are the favourite amongst men, women and children everywhere. I’m always looking for a great minimal approach to shoes, and Crocs delivers on that, their ergonomic design, lightweight technology, and a massaging foot bed makes for a great shoe. Plus, they always have fun designs which are practical and durable, making them great for any type of customer. But, if you do like to decorate your shoes, you can always add on their charms to your Crocs to personalise them…

Croc charms

…our brand coordinator Amruta’s favourite are the Hello Kitty ones!
