Here I am at the edge

 A firm favourite? Anyone watching the films I buy from eBay could be mislead to believe my current favourite actress is Sharmila Tagore . I am not disputing I find her very attractive, but she is also an excellent actress; as you will know - if you read this blog - I am more interested in the film story than buying because an attractive lady is in the film, There are some actresses I find attractive, but thier acting does nothing for me - Maduri Dixit , Huma Qureshi , Lara Dutta , and Esha Doel to name a few. Sharmila proves to me, beauty is not the domain of the young.

 No Warning Heart attacks can, and do, occur without warning. The lady on this post is Reema Lagoo  from Mumbai in India . At the time of her death, Mrs. Lagoo was only 58, and in reasonably good health.  She had finished an episode of the series she was working on, left the stage saying she had a pain in her chest and was dead within an hour. Another case is more well known in India, that is the death of a leading actress in the Bollywood scene, Sridevi , who was waiting for her husband to arrive for their daughter's wedding in Dubai , to relax she took a bath and passed out. Her death at 54 shook the movie industry in India .

 Beautiful India I don't think it's true as I heard it said in the film Bombay Talkies , a lady (played by Rani Mukherjee ) said you can tell if a man from  India  is gay  by asking if he prefers Sridevi  or Madhuri Dixit .  Apparently, if he chooses Srividi he's gay. I can't compare their acting  talent as my interest  in  Bollywood  has only been for a few months. For beauty, I'd go with Srividi, there again my choice for beautiful actresses from India wouldn't put Madhuri in the top 10 as my faves are Raveena Tandon , Reena Roy ,  Shefali Shah,  and Raima Sen but that is only my opinion. Having seen some more movies, and series from India, the list of ladies I consider alluring grows, and not all of them you'd class as glamorous as I get attracted as much to facial features as I do the alluring sexual looks.

All for the price of a cup of coffee I keep asking why I should spend hours editing my short story selection of stories when none have sold other than my science fiction ? I am thinking of doing what I would never have supposed of before now, becoming a genre writer . Given a choice, I would have chosen ghost stories to write , but the style I like is not what sells as I prefer Gothic Horror, such as Cherie Priest writes, rather than the undead, not zombie , fiction which sells. Strictly speaking, "zombie fiction" has nothing to do with zombies. Zombies are people put in a trance by a voodoo high priest. They may have risen from the grave, but they look nothing like the films depict. There is a documented case of a man who lived in the state of a zombie for over 20 years in the USA . When he came out of the trance, he had no recollection of the decades he had lived through. My current project is two-fold as I am trying to rewrite one romance novel  while adding a second st...

Hunter S. Thompson The term The Vagrant Journalist was coined by writer Hunter S. Thonpson during his time in Puerto Rico  as he, liked others, waited for his big break; it was a turmultous time in the area with riots and coups in most countries, and the rise of Papa Doc in Haiti . My virtual travels these days include India  as the main port of call thanks to many films and shows from there being on Netflix . The lady shown here is Dimple Kapadia  showing again that you can maintain your beauty and be mature.
