Bollywood Stars Without Make-Up



altBollywood actresses are known for their beauty and style. They are glorified on screens as demi-goddesses who are blessed with ethereal beauty.
But its now time for some reality check as the actresses don't really look like the perfect dreamgirls once they are stripped off their make-up. Lets take a look at how different actresses look without their usual dose of make-up.
Sonam
Bollywood's number one fashionista isn't very attractive to look at once her make-up comes off. In this pic, Sonam far from the glam diva that she always is.
alt
Katrina Kaif
Katrina Kaif doesn't look much different without make-up. She is one naturally blessed woman in terms of beauty and, hence, can easily survive without make-up. She looks beautiful in her most basic and natural avatar.
alt
Rani Mukherjee
Yes! The person you see in the pic is indeed Rani Mukherjee. And, she sure does look horrendous without her make-up on. Our advise to her would be not to step out of the house without any make-up or she might end up losing the few films that she's got in hand.
alt
Deepika Padukone
Sans make-up, Deepika looks like any other face in the crowd. It is after a good dose of grooming that Deepika manages to look like the stunner that she always appears to be.
alt
Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor also looks amazingly beautiful even without any trace of make-up. Guess its owing to her genes and a healthy lifestyle that always ensures that she looks radiant and glowing.
alt
Priyanka Chopra
The glamorous Piggy Chops looks like as bad without make-up as as she looks good with it. She seems like a totally different person from the gorgeous star that we all know
alt
Kajol
Kajol has always shocked us with her sense of style in the past and she does the same by coming forth without proper grooming. No matter what the occasion is, there can be no excuse for turning up looking like this in public.
alt
Rakhi Sawant
Not that we consider Rakhi a Bollywood star, but the difference in her look with and without make-up is so startling that we couldn't resist including her in the list. On the transformation in her appearance, we have only one thing to say: Miracles do happen!

How to Ensure Your First Date




altIf you've read our article about getting her number, you know that it might not really mean anything. And for that very reason, she just might not give you you'll know that there's a chance she might just NOT give you her number
So how do you make her phone number's debut error-proof?
MensXP.com gives you five tips to make that happen.
Have a reason
To make the prospect of her thinking of you (yes, you!) as someone who is meaningful and believable to her in the near future, you need to create a reason. Something tangible. Which is you you will not want to "meet up for coffee." Coffee sounds either watery or a discrete way of asking her out for a date - both of which are useless if you want to make her comfortable with you.
alt
A simple way of getting around this is to use anything you talked about (and to which we favorably responded) as a way to create a possible event - or purpose, in which she would participate.
If she smiled when you mentioned your time volunteering at a local animal shelter, casually mention that she should check it out.
Make her Ask You
alt
And I mean exactly that - give her a taste of something nice from your life - there's a chance that it might click with some of her own desires. If it does, she'll either tell you directly, or you'll be able to tell how she responds to it through her body language. If you think it's something she would really enjoy, ask her out.
Her Phone Number and the Date 'Just Happen'
Because that feels fake, pre-planned, and has no emotional appeal to either you or her - and you won't emotionally savor it as much. Neither will she, for the same reasons. Internalize that getting her number isn't a big deal; a simple way of being that is to continue talking to her, as if nothing happened. Talk about anything, but stay and chill-a-while.
alt
While neither the phone number nor the date are a big deal, it's the date that you should actually prioritize; the phone number is just contact information. It could be even be her Facebook ID.
Make it Funny
alt
I explained this in a previous article about using humor to emotionally with her. Things like a nickname for her, an inside joke will create an easy banter, and anything fun is a good platform for socializing.
Does She Have your Number?
alt
In the eagerness of getting her number, you could have forgotten to get her number. (Eagerness. Or fear) However, when she gets a call from a number she doesn't know, there's a good chance she won't pick up. Or answer the call with wariness. To reverse this, have her plug in your number with a nickname, or something fun. 

Sachin Tendulkar – The Master who was Born to Bat



There are two kinds of batsmen in the world. One, Sachin Tendulkar. Two, all other batsmen. - Andy Flower
If one were to ask what is Indian Cricket Team’s most prized possession, the answer would be unanimous – Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. But he is not just Indian team’s most prized possession. He’s also Cricket's most prized possession.
Allan Donald
The man has been playing astounding cricket for the last two decades and is still nothing short of a blitzkrieg! He refuses to age or get less aggressive with time. Still a bowler’s worst nightmare (bowlers like Shane Warne and Glen McGrath stand in testimony to this); Sachin is also known for his sportsmanship and gentlemanliness.
He has emerged as a source of inspiration to crores of Indians exhorting them to rise above mediocrity and can single-handedly elevate the mood of the nation.

Can Sachin Tendulkar Walk on Water?

Not difficult to make his fans believe that Sachin can walk on water who might also probably believe that he has X-Ray vision and can stop trains. The man has been elevated to a Godly status in India and his worshippers can be found almost everywhere.
Born in Mumbai to Ramesh Tendulkar, a novelist and Rajni Tendulkar, who worked in the insurance sector Tendulkar was soon identified as a cricket prodigy. It didn’t take him much time to embark on his cricketing journey and he became a mentee of Ramakant Achrekar in his early years. There’s an interesting incident from his kid-years: When he was young, Tendulkar would practice for hours on end in the nets. If he became exhausted, Achrekar would put a one-Rupee-coin on the top of the stumps, and the bowler who dismissed Tendulkar would get the coin.
Young Sachin got thirteen Re 1 coins from his coach and he considers them his most prized possession.
Tendulkar started to make his presence felt as he touched teenage. He was being talked about in the Mumbai cricketing circles. Many started predicting that the boy would be the next big thing in cricket. There’s a legend which goes around that Sachin would make bowlers shed tears while he played for his school, as he would refuse to get out.
Sachin Tendulkar
The world came to know about Sachin in 1989 when a 16-year old ‘genius-in-making’ put on his batting gloves for his first international test match.
Despite a humble start in his first two series (against Pakistan and New Zealand respectively) he hit first test ton against England in 1990 (119 not out) and then there was no looking back. The little genius now has a plethora of records in his kitty; some are the ones which other players can only dream of achieving.

Sachin, Lord Rama of the world of Cricket.



As Lord Rama is to his devotees, Sachin is so to his fans. He’s taken to be an embodiment of righteousness in cricket. Known for his high personal integrity and honesty, every time he ‘walks’, it becomes ‘A Walk to Remember’.

Even though it took him 70 ODIs to get his first century in the limited-overs edition of the game, Sachin is just a hundred short from making a ‘century of the centuries’ in the International cricket (tests and ODIs combined). Sachin’s most memorable ODI inning (which is also the most memorable inning in the history of ODI cricket) came against South Africa.

Poonam Pandey arrives for the cricket bash.

Poonam Pandey has become a celebrity overnight. This 20 something model created a flutter on the Internet after she said she would bare all if India wins the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. So where was Poonam on the semi final day?. Find out
