The 'Switcheroo' tag

Note: With due apologies to Solilo, Peanut, Dhiren, and Ajit for using your names in my blog... it is only to continue this story forward...no offence meant. No apologies to vimmuuu though, coz it’s because of him I’m doing the tag anyway. My turn for revenge. Buahahaha!

I've put up this post as a continuation where vimm
mu’s post ends...


I come running into the experimental lab.

Me (puffing and panting): “I came over as soon a
s I got the SOS message. What the hell is going on? Where are you vimmuuu?”
Vimal(a) from inside the machine: “Hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Solilo: “Don’t go there! Trust me, it isn’t a good sight!”


Me: “OK so let me get this straight… Smitha, AV and oorjas already did the tag. Now I have to also do it and list the names of women I’d find attractive if I were a guy, right? And then?”
Solilo: “Correct. And the test results will be fed into the ma
chine. The trial software will start working again and Vimala will turn back to Vimal.”

Me (with an evil grin): “What if we don’t do the tag?”

Solilo and Vimala (together): “Noooooooooooooo!”

Me (taken aback): “What???”

Vimala: “Will you two stop debating and get around
to the list already?!! You better get that tag done or else…!”
Me (smirking): “Or else what? I have half a mind to leave you that way, considering the tone with which you are ordering me around!”

Solilo (in horror): “Have you gone mad???? Do you kno
w what a hideous creature this Vimala looks like?? She is an insult to our gender. The sooner we change her back, the better!”
Me (considering): “Oh!! In that case…hmm…”


Me: “OK so don’t I need to step inside the machine myself? How can I when it’s occupied by him…no, her?”

Solilo: “That’s ok…your imagination should do the trick
. Besides, that machine won’t work without your test results anyway.”
Me: “But minimum 2 people have done it already, so why should I?”

Solilo (consulting the manual): “It says here the more th
e number of people, the better the results are. So no harm in going for it.”

Hmm…Alright! Fair enough! Vimala didi shouldn’t r
emain so as an insult to our gender. So might as well go ahead!

Here’s my list of 5 women I’d have a crush on, if I wer
e a guy… and the reasons as to why so. (It is at times like these that a tomboyish bend of mind really comes in handy!). The list is given age-wise in descending order.

1. Vidya Balan – Hindustan Times newspaper's 'Br
unch' Sunday magazine made a quote on her: "Men don’t want to have just sex with her, they want to fall in love with her." I agree...




2. Asin – The perfect indian figure begins with her... the right curves, the lovely features, the bubbly attitude, the chirpy conversation.... Aaand, she has the X factor in her to make it big. And she's smart too, considering she’s making a lot of progress in her career with careful well-planned steps. And as thinking through the mind of a man, let me disclose a secret.
We.
dont.

care.
for.
size.

zero.
Really!


3. Ayesha Takia - Few women carry off the beauty plus sex appeal together the way she does. As an actress she is under-rated (go watch Dor and you’ll understand). And for a change, she has no airs – this during a time when a cameo appearance in a two-bit film make people feel like they arrived in Hollywood. But…too bad she's already taken!




4. Sonam Kapoor - for her charm and her very earthy, Indian feel - 'Masakkali' song rocked with just her presence in it. She comes as a refreshing breath of fresh air in the world of made-up dolls and hi-fi glams. She is NOT politically correct … it pisses us men off after a point really! Speak up your mind, woman! Of course, the good pedigree - being Anil Kapoor's daughter - doesn't hurt either.




5. Shruti Hassan - OK this one's a no-brainer. Do I e
ven need to start on this? Absolute stunner and all-rounder! Be it her music, good looks, intelligent replies in interivews, edutional background, immense talent… not to mention being born to two of the top artistes in the country I could go on and on and on! New kid on the block... long way to go. If I were a guy, I'd definitely keep an eye on her (and try getting her number as she reaches the top! :P )






Solilo (examining the list): “Hey this list is full of Indian women! And all of them movie stars! Where’s the pan-worldly appeal?”

Me (shrugging): “So I am feeling a little patriotic now! Go figure! Besides, you just needed the names of 5 women right? These were the ones I could think of quickly.”

Solilo: “Alright. Feeding the test results into the machine now!”


Outside, OG and Dhiren wait their turn patiently. Once the results are fed into the machine, it whirrs to life and lights start blinking.

Solilo: “Into the hands of Fate!”

She presses a bright red button at the top. Smoke starts pouring from the machine from all corners.


As the process works, I call Peanut aside.

Me: “Hey sweetheart, would you like to earn 10 bucks?”

Peanut (suspiciously): “How?”

Me (evil grin): “Simple. All you have to do is run from there to here with that tennis ball and trip again!”

Peanut (eyes widening): “And then? Goodness knows where that ball will go and hit!”

Me (even bigger evil grin): “That’s the idea!! hehehe”


But by then it’s too late and the doors of the machine start to open.


vimmuuu steps out on shaky legs, rubbing his eyes and looking himself up and down in the mirror to make sure it’s himself.

In the background, OG, and Dhiren let out whoops of joy.

The process of normalcy has begun…

well, as much as you can call these guys normal anyway!! :P :P


P.S.: The original list I made had Nigella Lawson, Madhuri Dixit and Sushmita Sen as well. But I changed them since the others who did it before me included them and I wanted an entirely new list altogether. Also under consideraton were the names of Riddhima Kapoor and Lara Dutta, but eventually only these 5 made it to the list.
P.P.S: All the pics given here are taken off the net from Google... I take no credit or responsibility for the same.

LOL :)

they are really beautiful.. especially Sonam Kapoor.. :)

Solilo said...

Ashwathy, Let me laugh out loud couple more times. Ha..ha..ha.hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Oh my! I wish Peanut was big enough to read and understand all this. :))))))))

finally Vimala didi is back to being Vimal bhaiyya. *Solilo throws out that machine* We want everyone to co-exist.

From your list I like Vidya Balan and Sonam Kapoor. Sonam Kapoor more for her fashion sense.

Ordinary Guy said...

hahahahahaha :P
praise the lord, vimmuuu is back to the old self!!!!!!!!!!!

btw, good list...... :P I love all these women :P :P :P : P
yeah, I'd better get ready for my turn now :P

Ki said...

Not bad! I like ayesha takia too although I'm yet to find a guy who agrees! :O

Ashwathy said...

@Rakesh
LOL dont worry... I'm not in the least bit interested in her. I was only thinking from a guy's perspective, thus named her... which means my thinking was bang on target.
All I can say is ur bro and u have good taste in women (atleast the unattainable ones) :D hehe



@kanaguonline
vimal had to be squashed around a bit.. he was the one who passed the tag. but to be fair to him, i've carried over his entire setting onto this post.
and yes the list HAD to have beautiful women becoz (most) guys look at the physical aspect first and then think of intelligence. i was merely being in a guy's mind and putting forth that view..



@Solilo
Glad u enjoyed reading it :-) And yes, peanut will have loads to laugh over once she grows old enough to understand :D
As for the list, yes, women need not find that list all that attractive... we think more in terms of the overall package of the woman rather than just beauty and while men? read OG's comment rite below u and u'll understand LOL


@Ordinary Guy
Yes yes I've saved all of u... and earned ur undying gratitude :P
And thank you! You've just proved that my thinking from a guy's viewpoint hit the nail on the head since u like all the women in the list :D I rest my case! LOL


@Ki
You're kidding me! You ought to come and meet my bro and his friends who have her wall-paper plastered all over their computers! But ... well... (ahem) I'm sure they probably like her for obvious reasons :P

hitchwriter said...

Smitha said...

Ashwathy, Loved it!!!

You know, I never end up commenting on your posts as I read them on my phone - from which I just am not able to comment:( Please move to WP - It will make commenting so much easier :)
So today, I set a reminder to come back here to comment :)

I really like Vidya Balan too :) I missed listing her :) I find her refreshing in a crowd of similar faces..
Ayesha Takia - my husband will be happy to see her :) He was trying to get me to list her and Madhuri :)
Very nice and different list :)

Indyeah said...

ROFL!!!
I like the list :D
but most of all I like vimmuu's return to normalcy :D

it would have been tragic to let him remain a member of our gender na?:D:D


Peanut is here too?:D:D so cute :D

I really wish she grows up and reads about how she was written about everywhere :D
and that too in such an impish way :D

but seriously great imagination ehre ;)


PS:-I like Vidya BAlan the most :)

Shilpa said...

First time commenting here.
Good list. Except, isn't Shruti a little girl?

Ashwathy said...

@hitchwriter
you are welcome :-) how does it feel to be back to normalcy again? LOL
good to know u loved those on the list! :-)
vimmuuu's new best friend? u mean guardian angel LOL :P


@vimmuuu
well u tagged so i had to get back at u in some way, hence the plots. but then i had fun doing it too, so finally took pity on u and decided to convert u back! :D
glad u loved the list!
and for pete's sake, I am NOT interested in shruti hassan... now dont turn me into a lesbian in the process! this was only and ONLY for the sake of the tag! u can date her, marry her or even jump off a cliff with her for all i care! LOL :D


@Smitha
thanks :-) yes a lot of ppl have been telling me to shift to wordpress, but haven't yet gotten around to it. I should, one of these days! (well, hopefully) lol :P

Ashwathy said...

@Indyeah
glad to know u enjoyed :D yes peanut's already famous, ain't she? hehe
oh yea it wud have been truly tragic to leave vimal as vimala... he ..er.. SHE would have run amok as a menace to society :D so decided to take pity on all of us and changed her back!


@Shilpa
thanks :-) welcome to my blog btw...
and shruti hassan is 21 years old (correct me if i'm wrong). she's debuting in soham shah's 'Luck' in bollywood soon, plus composing music for her dad's upcoming film. if she's on a full-fledged career after completing her education, that makes her old enuff to be on the crush list rite? :-)
and don't ask me.. ask the guys who already do have a crush on her :D

sawan said...

From your list I like Vidya Balan and Asin J not a bad way to write it!! cheers grl :)

Shilpa said...

Wow she is 21? SHe does look awesome though!

Ashwathy said...

@sawan
thanks :-)


@Shilpa
oh yep :-) that she does. true carbon copy of her mother Sarika!

Winnie the poohi said...

LMAO!! this tag has been super fun !!! :D

Praveen said...

aaah all my favs...
loved those words about my dream gal ASIN :)
but shruthi haasan?????
have u seen her perform with her rock band? she was trying to parade her sexiness..and was not even thinking on what she was singing...god! such a waste..

Ashwathy said...

@Winnie the poohi
it sure has! :D but i'm glad it's come to an end all the same... it has been molested enough already LOL :P


@Praveen
no i havent seen her perform...yet. loved her in the cornetto 'ho jaane de' ad. i liked whatever i knew of her so far. now as for her performance, her debut on bollywood will seal that. for her sake, i hope it doesnt turn into a fiasco.
er... i wudnt really comment abt ur last phrase... certain ppl who commented in this blog have huge crushes on her and wud b appalled to know ur opinion :D

Destination Infinity said...

Long time back, when Asin's first movie released, there was a call-in show in Sun TV. You should have seen the composure with which she handled herself! That was so different, when compared to say, Bhoomika's interview at that time! Asin's got a lot of talent, for sure. Sohnam kapoor has a good fashion sense (may be due to some one else in the background). You should have included Madhuri. She is one of those gems in the industry, filled with such hopeless personalities!

Destination Infinity

Ashwathy said...

@Destination Infinity
:-) yes true...I love the way Asin carries herself. Btw didn't u read the P.S.? Madhuri was the first name in the list initially, then I wanted a fresh list which no one else had chosen, thus changed it later on after reading others' tags.

Karthik youngistan said...

Sonam kapoor.. Oh My darling!! She proposed me after Saawariya.. But i told her to concentrate in career... Because I love Geneliya... The same thing I told to Konkana Sen and Soha Ali Khan!

The convo before doing the tag s creative!!

Ashwathy said...

@Karthik youngistan
LOL make up ur mind on who u want to be with! spoilt for choice, eh? ;-)
