Healthy flirting keeps the mind happy: Tanushree

No seeing red, say Tollywood hotties armed with hotter solutions
Healthy flirting keeps the mind happy: Tanushree
With prices of vegetables skyrocketing in Bengal, Kolkata is seeing red, quite literally so. The hot news is that chillies are now being sold for 200/kg in some markets in the city. So, how will Tollywood���s glam brigade and those that the industry has recently imported, spice up their food and life?

I love chillies and can���t eat my lunch without them.

If the ���jhaal quotient��� of the chilli is less, I need to have at least two to three of them. But if it���s super-spicy, one is enough. But in hindsight, if I can���t afford chillies now, I will eat less. That will have a double result. Kom khabo, diet maintained hobe.Roga thakbo. That���s a sure-shot way of getting the perfect heroine image. On a spicy note, since chillies are too expensive, I suggest people indulge in more action between the sheets. The result will be the same.

Earlier, I wasn���t into spicy food but now I can���t do without at least two green chillies in my food. Chillies are a must in my salad too. I won���t be directly affected by the price rise since I���m in Mumbai now. Chillies or otherwise, one can���t do without spice in life. For me, the ideal way to spruce up one���s life is to flirt. Healthy flirting keeps the mind happy.
Rakhi Sawant
If mirchi is the question, the answer has to be Rakhi. I need at least 10 green chillies for lunch. I eat spicy, look spicy and think spicy. My face is spicy, my lips are spicy. Whatever comment I make, is always spicy. Rakhi, in short, is a pocketful of spice.

I might have bland food but there is no dearth of spice in my life. Thinking out of the box is what makes my life spicy. I���ve just returned from Bangkok and if someone is wondering how to spice up his or her life, I suggest just take a trip to Walking Street. That���s the hottest street in Thailand for the forbidden pleasures of life.

For every meal, we should have hot women dressed in skimpy red or green bikinis sitting across the table. That will spice up the platter like nothing else. Sidhu, Frontman, Cactus
Now that chillies are beyond reach, I���ve a complete to-do list ready. First, we should play songs of Spice Girls while sitting down to eat. Then, we can put up a map of Chile or maybe Sri Lanka in the dining room. Couples should pick up fights before settling for a meal just to make the ambience hot. If nothing works, one should start singing, ���Ami chilli go chilli tomake..."

It���s time that we shift focus to stuff that are less expensive. For 8, we can buy 25 beedis and for 51, we can bring home a 750 ml bottle of country liquor. So, after all these years of being taught to lead a healthy life, we can now tell our elders how good things come with a price. For me, it���s back to the basics.
Mir, Anchor-Actor
Adding spice to life can happen in two ways ��� negative and positive. For the former, you can b***h about others, think you are the best, tell others how hard you work even if you are lazy. To add spice in a positive way, compare yourself with others to see if you are lagging behind, admire your friend���s pretty girlfriend, albeit from a distance, and watch a kiddie movie post-midnight.
