Look at that perfection!

BB is seen here, in a one-shouldered flaming red dress at the launch of her Fitness DVD….Damn that John Abraham is a lucky lucky man!!!!

Drooliooo.

Wwowowowoowowowowowwwww.

Is it just as or is Deepika Padukone positively radiant and glowing in this Maxim shoot?

Yes yes, it could be the great power of Photoshoot but we like to think it’s her current romantic late-night trysts with a certain Fhahid Kapoor…or at least that’s what a little birdie told us!

HEHE.

Long considered to have one of the hottest bodies in the Industry, we were stoked about the Fitness DVD that Bipasha Basu launched last week titled BB’s Love Yourself…Fit & Fabulous You.

The workout was designed by BB’s longtime personal trainer and friend Deanne Panday who promises to get you looking like seks (aka Bipasha) in 60 days!!

We can’t wait to try it if only to get an eyeful of the seksi BB!

HEHEHE.

And by goods we mean ample cleavage and those bedroom eyes!!!

The daughter of Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen is SMOOOOOKING.

When you think of mindblashing progressive South Asian (Desi) music…think of the Curry Smugglers!!!!

We discovered the Curry Smugglers on Twitter when we were getting super bored of the same ol’ music on our iPods and it was like HALLELUJAH! CS is an hourish long podcast that features two hilarious hosts Sachin (SRB) and Paresh (PG) who bring us desi’s the best of the best in desi music.

We say “desi” music because CS cover e’rrrrrrrrrrything including your latest filmy sountracks, punjabi, new age, remixes, mashups and anything else you can think of!!

Honestly, the gap that’s been missing in good podcasts that you actually WANT to listen to has been filled by these fiiiine desi gentlemen.

Take a read below to their hilaaar interview with us and check out the link (below) of their podcast!!

——————————————————————————————————————————

Music to the Curry Smugglers is….

SRB – Stimulating! Every musical composition, whether it’s from Indian films, pop charts, rock, arabic, Asian underground, hip hop, bounce hall, classical, qawwali or jazz – they all bring out different emotions. It is in those emotions that I get carried away, at least with most of them. I’d be lying if I said I like all forms of music. But somewhere else, someone else does. That’s the beauty of music. It crosses borders and brings people together from different regions of the world. It honestly does. Artists from different parts of the world with different styles jump at the first chance to blend their music together. Their fans follow. That brings insight into each other’s cultures, which slowly leads to acceptance. If only governments of different countries came together like that, we’d be living in a better world. But they’re not, which is why I believe music truly helps breaks barriers.

PG – Music is a journey for me. I look at it from a perspective of the range of things it makes me feel. Happy, introspective, spazzy, child like, sexy… all of these things is like a rush of emotions that I really enjoy in its most compact form – a musical composition. Sachin and I both confess to having a ’soundtrack to our lives’ and there’s almost always a song playing in my head. Since I cannot sing to save anyone’s life, or mine, I much prefer having a song playing in there. Music is joy. Period.

Why the Smugglers of Curry? What’s the story behind it?

SRB & PG – We are glued to our iPods. We always have been. Whenever we would tune in to any local radio station in the US (whether FM/AM or online) we realized quickly that they stuck to Bollywood songs and never branched out of it. Songs were on repeat all the time. They never ventured out to play UK Bhangra, or remixes by DJs, or other genres. All this topped with cheesy ads for subzi-bhaji and restaurants. This was the “Curry” they were serving. We decided to smuggle it and add our twist to it. We took it upon ourselves to put a show together. We wanted to showcase the hard work of the DJs around the globe, and bring them on the show and talk to them. We wanted to highlight other genres, other languages like Arabic and Farsi, mash ups and Punjabi. That’s how the Curry Smugglers were born.

What is on repeat on your iPod?

SRB – Mixes by NYK, Dev, A.Sen, Mazzr and Tejas. OSTs like Sajda from MNIK, Rishi Rich, Midival Punditz, Junoon (Yes. still!), Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Unplugged songs of Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher and Atif Aslam, Sinatra, Kings of Leon, Chris Botti, etc (Yes, most of those are on repeat).

PG – Right now? 3 Idiots, DJ Dev, Absolute Impact 1, Code 2010, Karthik Calling Karthik, MNIK, Gaga, David Guetta – Gosh and that’s just a quarter of my list.

So TheMidayMasala.com is a genie and we will grant you 3 wishes, what would they be?

SRB:

1. Be the platform for up and coming (and good) DJs and producers to get their work and dedication noticed.

2. Get our shows aired consistently on radio stations in all major markets

3. A date with Priyanka Chopra would be fantastic!

PG:

1. CS becomes a major worldwide brand 

2. CS becomes the standard of excellence for desi oriented shows in the Western Hemisphere

3. I get a full head of hair back.

   1. And world peace

What is your vision with Curry Smugglers….venture into Smuggling other things?

We have short term goals and long term goals.

Short term – Stay consistent. Always keep things fresh and have themes. Aim to be always have a good and edgy show. We feel that we are very good in the iTunes and Zune podcast market right now, based on our subscription count and ratings. We want to keep it that way. We are working with retailers for merchandising ideas as well.

Long term – We are working with radio stations right now that will air our shows in some US markets. We want to get to a record label level of signing and promoting DJs who are committed to their work and be the voice for them. We are in talks with a couple of DJs from India and Dubai to do shows and concerts in the US hosted by us. Go from a show to a brand – and a good one!

Katrina Kaif kept the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India and media waiting for a good 3 hours before she arrived to collect her award for Excellence in Performing Arts.

KK’s handlers used the excuse of a “flight delay” but apparently the real reason was that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra wasn’t able to attend the ceremony and present the award.

We can’t believe it took THREE hours to decide to accept the award from someone else!

Being honored is a big deal in itself, the presenter shouldn’t have such an impact!!

Tsk tsk. Really unprofesh.

Woo!

Shahrukh Khan and Kajol rang the opening bell at Nasdaq bright and early Monday morning. It was a huuuge deal because this is the first anyone from the Industry has been invited!!

Sigh.
