Rakhi Sawant Mint - My Choice

Rakhi Sawant has just been chosen brand ambassador for ITC Foods’ Mint-o-Fresh to pep up their mint lozenges brand. The reasons: She is bold, confident and frank and Mint-o-Fresh has the same values. While the morally uppity pseudo classy folk of the country raise their eyebrows on the choice, brand experts do believe that her sensation value would surely work for the brand.

For many, Rakhi is just a sex symbol in private and an object of ridicule in public. Why? Because she shows her body to make money and get famous( Hey, what about the director who puts her in the movie and the audience who watches her and downloads her wallpapers? Why are they any better than her? ). She lacks class. She speaks her mind. She is frank. Blatant, to be precise. Obviously, she would be the favorite punching bag of the moral police and all the men and women who hate her guts.

This aggressive boisterous and loud Bollywood item girl--a policeman’s daughter--may have become famous through cheap( a relative word) publicity stunts. But I have great admiration for her. Give it to her. She is famous. Period. She makes her own rules. Isn’t afraid of anyone and challenges a Miss Universe by being equally if not more popular.

Check out her cheek!

She was booked for obscenity by the TN Police after a stage show in the city(maybe they wanted a private show instead)
She is consistently the butt of jokes by several co-stars and at popular TV shows (They can’t stand her being more talked about)
She is known for her absolute audacity and cool candour (Her opinion on herself “ Mein ek characterless aurat hoon”)

She may be cheap, loud and what not. But she is honest, cool, sure of herself and consistent. Sure enough. She is on the rise now for the right reasons with ITC Food betting on her as their brand ambassador.

Atta girl Rakhi. Way to Go!

You may need a dictionary for this

In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications demonstrate a clarified conciseness, a compact comprehensibleness, no coalescent conglomerations of precious garrulity, jejune bafflement and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous verbal evaporations and expatriations have lucidity, intelligibility and veracious vivacity without radomontade or Thespian bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous propensity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double-entendres, obnoxious jocosity and pestiferous profanity, observable or apparent.

In other words, say what you mean and DON'T USE BIG WORDS!

Hang on. I am not the genius who made that up. That was advice by Dr Johnson immortalized to me by my Grandpa. As a kid, I memorized it to impress my friends. Now using it to impress my readers.

Hope you are suitably impressed :P

But seriously, brevity is the soul of clarity and one needs to speak to express and not to impress and not say ten words when you can do with one. Whats more? For greater spiritual communion with one’s higher self, it is recommended by experts that one goes on a verbal diet to practice mounam once in a while.

I am on verbal diet. So not been writing for a while. Shall write original stuff if and when I find my higher self. Finding..finding..finding….
