Health & Fitness

Ok, admit it. All ya'll want to be in good health and have killer fitness.

Going to the gym once every month isn't gonna cut it.

Here's Ishika with a lil fitness tip.

Crank up those club beats and dance it out.

Think again if you think I'm joking. I don't joke about dance.

I honestly don't know for how many years I've been obsessed with dancing, but it's pretty much become a daily routine. Every day, I do at least half an hour of straight out dancing, so it's basically a part of my workout routine. Jogging, sit ups, and all those come before, a ten minute break, then straight up dancing. Doesn't have to be a half an hour. That's just a minimum. Just now, I danced for nearly two hours and I honestly feel like I'm about to faint, hehe. So I'm going to go on and stop here.

So get up and move it, groove it, baby!

A Tribute to Shahrukh

Ok, so lately, I've fallen into this major Shahrukh craze. Don't ask me why or how.... I don't know.

Before, I really never thought of him as such a great actor, but you know what? I was very wrong.

Almost all of my favorite movies from the 1990's star Shahrukh. Take a look at all 1990 Bollywood movies. It was pretty much a no-brainer at every awards show that Shahrukh was going to win an award or two. And he did deserve it.

SRK is an outstanding actor, no doubt, magaar he is an actor made to play the gentle, loving soul, not the criminal or the evil mastermind. If rumors are held true and he is going to play the villian in the action-packed Dhoom 3 movie, and he does succeed in pulling the role off, I will give in and say no doubt, Shahrukh Khan is the best actor to ever set foot in the Bollywood film industry. Sure, Hrithik is a better dancer (don't even deny that), but Hrithik can't pull off every role. I know he did the most amazing job in Dhoom 2 and Krrish. There's not another actor that could have pulled off the joyous character of Krrish or the sleekness of Mr. A as Hrithik did, but there are simply some roles not fit for Hrithik. SRK has played all his roles well from Duplicate to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Darr to Dil Se to Koyla to Mohabbatein to Chalte Chalte to Devdas to... everything. I don't doubt his performance in Om Shanti Om will be outstanding as well. Now, let's see if he can once again prove his amazing acting skills in Dhoom 3. Best of luck, King Khan.

Can you love anyone that you've never met?

Lately, this question's really been bugging me.

I mean, seriously bugging me.

And you know what? This isn't one of those moments where I can turn to Google for my answers. Which makes this all the more aggravating. So I want opinions. If anyone feels up to sharing their views.

Is it possible to love somebody you've never met, who's voice you have never heard, who's hand you have never held?

Well, is it? There are several forms of love. Love can be the obvious kind: deep passion between two people; love can be the binding of two friends; love can be the interest in the same hobby; love can be love for a cause; love can be respect; love can be anything.

But can you ever love anyone you've never met?

By that, I don't mean a singer, actor, or celebrity of any sort. I mean somebody you've gotten aquainted with but haven't quite actually met up live. Such as.. say, a penpal or a person you've met online. There, that's a good example. Somebody you've met online.

Can a person ever truly passionately care about a person they've met online, have chatted with countless times, and feel they've developed a strong relationship with? Or would you say that no matter how many conversations have taken place, an online chat is an online chat and two people can never really be friends through the internet?

For those of you wondering, no, I don't have a cyber crush. It's just this debate a friend of mine and I had a few weeks back. Recently, though, it's been brought up by others I know. So, I want others' opinions on this.

Leave a comment and/or take the poll over to the left.

Who am I?

"Who am I?"

Anyone ever wonder that? Just, like, to yourself? I know I have several times. And I'm not talking about the basics like, "I'm Ishika from the United States and I'm this absolutely uniquely different Desi girl."

No.

Well, yea, that's who I am, but not who I am. Uhm.. I don't think this Ishika chick's making much sense. Maybe I should just shut up and stop right about.. now.

Do danceMELA and Sholay even mix?

For those of you that are reading.. if you're not Pegu, just ignore this.

Ok, Sukamal Saab. I don't even know why I'm doing this, but here goes nothin'.

Random ideas a-runnin.

--------------------

danceMELA hits Sholay

-Gabbar Singh and Samba are alone out in the desert, at Gabbar's "headquarters". Gabbar is pacing up and down infront of Samba, questioning him.-

Gabbar: Arre oh Samba! Kithne aadmi the?

Samba: Sarkar, ek.

-pause-

Gabbar (confused): Ek.. ?

Samba: Ji, Sarkar. Aadmi ke saat ek ladki bhi thi.

Gabbar (confused and angry): Phir Sarkar ke aadmi hain kahan?!

Samba: Sarkar, nach rahe hain.

Gabbar: Nach rahe hain? Kahan? Kyun?

Samba: Woh chora-chori Kreeda ke saath hai. Aaj kal uni ka raj chal raha hai.

Gabbar: KYUN? Sarkar ke aadmi nach kyun rahe hain?

Samba: Kyun ki, Sarkar, the party never stops.

-some time later-

Gabbar Singh is seen at the mela dancin' it off on a dancemat.
