Marriage is recommended to all: Aishwarya
IANS
Wednesday, December 05, 2007 19:16 IST

NEW DELHI: It seems newly wed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is enjoying herself completely, as the Bollywood actor strongly recommends the institution of marriage to everyone.

“I am a happy girl, can’t you make out?” beamed Aishwarya.

“Marriage is a beautiful chapter in life. It is so blissful and wonderful…in fact difficult to articulate. I strongly recommend it to everyone. Each one of us must experience it,” she said on Wednesday.

“Everybody was teasing me when I came here to celebrate ‘karva chauth’. But I said I have to experience it,” she added.

The actress, who won the Miss World pageant in 1994 and started her stint in the Hindi film industry with ‘Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya,’ was in the capital to unveil the bridal collection of watch brand Longines.

She got married to Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan on Feb 20, 2007.

Commenting on the response of people after her marriage she said: “Wherever we have travelled, people have showered us with their blessing. I am bowled over by their response and very strongly feel that we are a part of an extended family.”

However, Aishwarya said she hasn’t spent much time with her family.

“Our honeymoon was our first holiday and after that we were straight back to work. I wish I could have taken more time off. I would love to spend every minute of the day with Abhishek.”

Being a workingwoman the actress agrees that marriage brings a lot of responsibilities and one has to juggle up too many things.

“I am enjoying every aspect of being married. But frankly telling being a workingwoman it is more hectic now. There is a constant race against time. I could never imagine that my hours and days would be so full.”

“Although I have found the key to it - time management. It is imperative for every working individual to discover the ability of time management. You have to take time out for your maternal family, in-laws and for your own (husband-wife) relationship at the same time.”

After her lead roles in hits like ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam,’ ‘Devdas,’ ‘Dhoom 2′ and ‘Guru’, she is now all set to woo audiences in ‘Sarkar Raj,’ ‘Pink Panther 2′ and ‘Jodhaa Akbar’.

    I was watching the footage of this on the news and just saw some pics. Aish has really gained a lot of weight.
    I won’t be surprised if there is a happy announcement soon.

  9. Comment by Rocky on 5 December 2007:

    I remember My best friend who unlike the rest of our group was focussed into getting into IIM’s - he would start debating with us on various issues and also try using those difficult words in normal conversations. LOL
    he did get into IIM Amdabad though !!

  10. Comment by som on 5 December 2007:

    oh yes, should be aware of all recent burning topics. you never know what you may get as your GD topic.could be an abstract one as well.

  11. Comment by som on 5 December 2007:

    “also try using those difficult words in normal conversations. LOL”

    i guess its how well you are able to put your views across, rather than using some high voltage words in your conversations.

    Fari, I saw the same footage. I agree with your accessment. Aishwarya looked beautiful. But she has clearly gained a lot of weight. She definitely looks with child. An announcement of that fact would not surprise me either.

  27. Comment by Tango on 5 December 2007:

    Main bhi line mein hoon bhai logon, waise bhi I do not believe this pregnancy thing.

    Abhi bhi waqt ha Aish ji ke pass :wink:

  28. Comment by Eire on 5 December 2007:

    Perhaps pregnant or perhaps not. Aishwarya has packed on some weight. And constantly uses her arms, hands, belts, flowers, dupatta’s, etc. to cover her tummy region. So I think she is either pregnant or has just gained alot of weight which has her a bit conscious about the weight gain.

  29. Comment by ILG on 5 December 2007:

    I find it hard to make slacious comments about Ash now that she is someone’s biwi.But in general a little bit(right amount) of meat is good on a woman.Otherwise you feel like you are rubbing bones to light a fire!

  30. Comment by Fari on 5 December 2007:

    “packed on some weight” That made me laugh.
    It makes her sound so big.

    She looks to be carrying the same weight as her Bride and Prejudice days.

  31. Comment by Fari on 5 December 2007:

    You can watch the video from Wednesdays event here…

  32. Comment by Eire on 5 December 2007:

    “”But in general a little bit(right amount) of meat is good on a woman.Otherwise you feel like you are rubbing bones to light a fire!”"

    Yes, it’s good for women to not be skin and bones. LOL

    Fari, I did not mean to make it sound as if Aishwarya is real heavy or fat. LOL

    She looked gorgeous in the pix. It’s just that the pix, ect. really brought out Aishwarya’s weight gain in her face and body. So she’s either pregnant or just has gained weight from happiness due to her marriage. Whatever the case, I’ve just notived that she seems a bit more self conscious. Thanks for the video. She looks so happy with her life.

  33. Comment by satyam on 5 December 2007:

    Yeah I think she’s been living the good life for a while. The pregnancy thing seems doubtful only because there’s a concert planned next year. And she seems to be working otherwise. or she might be trying to match a heavier Abhishek!

  34. Comment by rks on 5 December 2007:

    Normally you don’t find any visible weight gain till 3 months (some women actually lose weight due to acute morning sickness). Main weight gain starts around 5th month…Normally people wait till end of 3rd month to declare the pregnancies…

    “”Yeah I think she’s been living the good life for a while. The pregnancy thing seems doubtful only because there’s a concert planned next year.”"

    Well Aishwarya was completely excluded from the recent One Amazing Night publicity article. Neither Subhash or Amitabh mentioned her which I found odd. In a quote Amitabh stated it would only be him, Abhishek, and other Hindi celebs. That left me doubtful about her still being apart of the tour as there was really no reason to exclude her in the article when she never in regards to the tour in the past. If she is pregnant fine and if she is not that’s fine as well. I’m glad she seems so happy with her marriage and lot these days. Weight gain or not she’s a beautiful woman.

  39. Comment by Tania on 5 December 2007:

    hmm i watched the video too!umm…i never thought i’d say this about rai but she looks like a WITCH in a few places and just plain drunk in the rest. why does she make that retarded looking face?? it’s so VACANT it’s scary. if she IS infact pregnant she certainly doesnt look too thrilled about it. wheres the glow??and she should get over the fact that she is married to AB..I mean ENOUGH!! We all know u r married and blissfully happy…congratulations..now plzzz talk about something else! But since u r hell bent on talking abt that THING will u explain that ring/thread/rope/string..whatever..he wears these days round his head! its annoys the hell out of me..and asswarya why did u have to marry that doofus yaar?? the way u talk abt being in love..n extended honeymoon..n blah blah looks real forced.i mean how could u fall in love with him..he is so ugly! has it got something to do with beauty..eyes..beholder..eh?

  40. Comment by Tania on 5 December 2007:

    i dont want to sound mean but doesn’t he look like an overfed cow..bull..LOL

  41. Comment by shetty on 5 December 2007:

    Lol Lol Lol

    Farha (Tabu’s sister) of our forum (And that is a compliment)

    Tania, Did you see Achilles’s comment?

  42. Comment by Tania on 5 December 2007:

    goodmorning shetty!
    i don’t think achilles has commented yet!
    and was that “farha” COMPLIMENT for me??? i dont see the connection :)

  43. Comment by Pranav on 5 December 2007:

    This Tania is a feisty one. Just what NG needs.

  44. Comment by Fari on 5 December 2007:

    “asswarya” “doofus”

    is that what this site has become?

    Unfortunate.

  45. Comment by beldevere on 5 December 2007:

    cmon Fari - its not half as bad as some of Elvis’s gems

    shet - i think Tania is nithi’s sister - given the shared love they have for poor abhishek

    and ya som - need_salvation - check the emails..

  46. Comment by jeegs on 5 December 2007:

    Yesterday there was detailed report on Ash’s weight gain on Star news with magnifying glass.

    also considering Ash’s age this is perfect time .

  47. Comment by sandy on 5 December 2007:

    Beld: I’m with Fari here. Saying ‘asswarya’ is definitely demeaning (whether Elvis does it or someone else does it is not the issue here). I’ve always been against this kind of vilification of someone, especially a woman, using sexual innuendoes. .

  48. Comment by sandy on 5 December 2007:

    Anway, that aside, welcome Tania

  49. Comment by Tania on 5 December 2007:

    Is this site run by Bachchan lovers??? a word against them and everybody gets worked up?
    and Fari somehow i have a feeling u r the same Tyler or Aly who has fallen in love with me n leaves no chance to single me out!! And whats so bad abt “asswarya” or “doofus”? there are ppl here who use filthier language n i haven’t ever found u giving them lectures on how supremely unfortunate they are!! what double standards man!Please dear comment on the post. No one has asked u to write a conduct book for me

    and the extremely polite NGites..it would be nice if u can stick to commenting on my comments n not me!!i am not taking potshots at anyone.and for god’s sake ppl get a life.these are celebs.we..sorry I have a RIGHT to talk shit about them.The Bachchans wont ever come here to read my comments.

    But still, i am new to this forum n not aware of the dos n donts.I guess its absolutely compulsory to like the Bachchans to be a part of this site.I don’t think i can be a part of the glorious league.So i will keep commenting the way i like and u r at liberty to get me Banned.
    Now that i have vented..Thank you n Have a Nice day

  50. Comment by beldevere on 5 December 2007:

    dont disagree sandy - but i was just pointing out that the problem resides with many here.

    anyways - did u see taran’s BO report - AN seems a goner BO wise. btw - i can tell you that whoever i have spoken to that have seen AN - have absolutely enjoyed it..
    so its probably fair to say that AN is movie that has been savaged by the media and the media alone

  51. Comment by beldevere on 5 December 2007:

    whoa Tania - everyday you remind us of someone . that last comment sounded very ‘Street’ish :-)

    keh dona, keh dona you are really Tania!

  52. Comment by shetty on 5 December 2007:

    “and was that “farha” COMPLIMENT for me”

    Farah is the most fiesty actress bollywood has ever seen. Even Rakhi sawant pales in comparision. And I second with Pranav NG needed someone like Tania.

  53. Comment by Jesse on 5 December 2007:

    Hell yes, another troll!

  54. Comment by sandy on 5 December 2007:

    Tania, you are well within your rights to comment on the Bachchans, no one’s stopping you. Please feel free to vent your feelings but I’ve always been a bit disconcerted with sexually derogatory references, whomsoever it may be.
    You see these things percolate and then some people don’t think twice before making such disgraceful comments about real-life people they know. Like we’ve seen at NG itself.

  55. Comment by sandy on 5 December 2007:

    “btw - i can tell you that whoever i have spoken to that have seen AN - have absolutely enjoyed it..
    so its probably fair to say that AN is movie that has been savaged by the media and the media alone”

    What has happened with AN is indeed very sad. I feel bad for Madhuri and Jaideep in particular.

  56. Comment by Tango on 5 December 2007:

    Hello Tania, welcome to NG (rather late) and I hope you havea nice time here.

  57. Comment by Achilles on 5 December 2007:

    incase u missed my coment tania … posting it again 4 u:

    “WELCOME to the forum Tania!

    u have already caught my bhaijaan (shetty bhai)’s eye n frankly speaking ur comments, half-bengali breed n ur views have won a fan in me … so apart from Hrithik, Achilles is now an officially declared tania fan! (unless tania turns out to be a abhishek fan!) :D “

  58. Comment by Tango on 5 December 2007:

    And Tania take Achilles & Shetty’s comments in your stride. You will soon realise that they are the ’stress busters’ of NG, not the ‘after you with an agenda’ types.

  59. Comment by Achilles on 5 December 2007:

    gimme a break fari! NG goes far worse than these … its just that easy to get after a new member who doesnt share the trademark NG Bachchan-Love!

  61. Comment by Sunny on 5 December 2007:

    LOL…Tania on a roll already :) .

    Although even I find such language(language!..not the sentiment) uncalled for, her words are indeed pretty tame in comparison to what we’re used to..courtesy–ahem ahem..?? ;)

    Beld–I did not enjoy it. The problem with AN was not that it was a bad movie as such. The problem with AN was always gonna be–how many people would want to catch it in the theaters. As it turns out..not many. And the ones who did go and catch it were ardent Madhuri fans and a few families inclined towards musicals/dances. There’s no reasons why a Madhuri fan would say bad things about her comeback movie, and for the others it’s ‘reverence’ again :) . I didn’t enjoy it, neither did my wife..and we’re both Madhuri fans, wife’s also a dancer…so yeah//Madhuri was excellent here, but the movie…nah! not so much.

    Jesse–troll? Who was that for?

  62. Comment by Sunny on 5 December 2007:

    LOL..Ach…you have found your better half it seems ;)

  67. Comment by Tania on 5 December 2007:

    so all the problem seems to be with the word “ASS”???
    can’t it mean a donkey?? ass the animal??there is a Wild Ass Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujrat!!the animal is known for its lack of intelligence and i called her so for having married AB.

  68. Comment by Sunny on 5 December 2007:

    can’t it mean a donkey?? ass the animal??there is a Wild Ass Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujrat!!the animal is known for its lack of intelligence and i called her so for having married AB.”

    Tania, that’s a fair argument. I’m not particularly fond of the Ash-Abhi pairing myself and concur with this part of what you’ve said ““and she should get over the fact that she is married to AB..I mean ENOUGH!! We all know u r married and blissfully happy…congratulations..now plzzz talk about something else! “

    Tania: agreed that you have the liberty to express your views here, but dont you think you can still express your opinions without using any kinda offensive langauages?you may severly dislike/hate Abhishek,but ridiculing him and aish to the every possible extent with the extensive use of those offensive words wont do any good.
    again it is just not for Tania, i am against those who keep on ridiculing and making fun of a certain star without any valid reasons.its kinda a hobby for them.

  80. Comment by need_salvation on 5 December 2007:

    “and ya som - need_salvation - check the emails..”

    yeah checked but have not got any.i guess you sent to my hotmail ID through which i have sent you mails earlier.

  81. Comment by Achilles on 5 December 2007:

    hello salvation-seeker! … which institutes did u end up applying?

    btw, cant find anything too offensive in tania’s remarks … n whatever she said makes sense.

    Tania - :lol:

  84. Comment by need_salvation on 5 December 2007:

    “hello salvation-seeker! … which institutes did u end up applying?”

    Achilles: have applied 4 institues under CAT(MDI Gurgaon, IMT Ghaziabad,SP Jain Mumbai,and IMI Delhi).then will be also appearing for SNAP and Maharastra CET and ofcourse XAT.

  85. Comment by need_salvation on 6 December 2007:

    “btw, cant find anything too offensive in tania’s remarks … n whatever she said makes sense.”

    you know bro, i am always against someone ridiculing and making fun of a certain star whom he/she hates.its never been a part of my behaviour.if you want to critize a certain star, critize his/her films, performances but getting personal wont serve any purpose IMO.

  86. Comment by Achilles on 6 December 2007:

    on the contrary som - everything one says and writes is always just a personal point of views … tania or anyone’s remark on ash/abhishek/whoever is only just as much personal as the way some people are finding it personally offensive.

  87. Comment by need_salvation on 6 December 2007:

    agreed bro, that was a personal remark from Tania, but cant we guys make comments relating to films only?why should we make any assumptions to what Aish found in Abhishek that she married him?whether Abhishek looks like a overfed bull or not, etc.etc. i guess its none of our business.

  88. Comment by Achilles on 6 December 2007:

    now u r getting personal abt it som - look the comments are made at people who have chose to be actors in showbiz … they are larger than life figures … the public has equal rite to call them a greek god or a overfed bull … thats normal … if praises are ok then so are criticisms (but are POVs afterall) …

    as for comments on ash-abhi marraige … after all that hulaboo arnd it … its normal (not personal) in prasing/criticising it or anything related to it … its their choice that they live their life in such limelight rather than maintain an Aamir like reclusivity (but even then he isnt spared at times).

    fame always has a price tag attached to it.

  89. Comment by need_salvation on 6 December 2007:

    okay fine, but personally i would not like to indulge in something of that sort.it never ever interests me, i would rather like to ignore that perticular star if i dont like him/her.

  90. Comment by need_salvation on 6 December 2007:

    Achilles: by the way bro did you get some of my forwarded mails or not? i had sent those to ur yahoo ID.

  92. Comment by Achilles on 6 December 2007:

    som - will check n reply bro!

  93. Comment by Tania on 6 December 2007:

    @need_salvation: well i really can’t comment on abhishek without getting OFFENSIVE..he does everything to annoy me! what about me..my feeling???LOL.the day he gets a haircut, takes a shower, lays his hand off that hair band(somebody tell him it looks good only on sexy football players),stops behaving rude,gets over the “i am amitabh’s son” n “im married to aishwarya rai’ syndrome, sheds some of those ugly flabs,and does something about that huge lower lip i’ll probably start liking him.I am trying hard..ill be cured in a decade or two for sure.
    And you do not need to peep inside his bedroom to notice these disturbing developments.

    @Achilles,Jeegs,Sandy,Sunny,Shetty,Tango thanx for the warm welcome.
    i really don’t mind people commenting on me Achilles..I get mad when they start giving out character certificates! And thanks for being my fan..LOL..i feel like a diva..Damn i have a fan..hahaha

    yep. Being a famous celeb has many pitfuls but would take those with all the plusses that come with it. The worst part of being a celeb for me (if I was one lol) would be that I cannot walk into my local corner shop without being mobbed, or walk in the park and just normal things like this!

    Tania great entry and generally agree with your points regarding Aish/Abhi and too much media coverage. Its a bore after a while. But its what happens with big celebrity couples. Media loves to picture them and it sells. And it will only get more excessive when a baby is due. I use to hate the constant media glare on the Beckhams and other celeb couples. Its all demand and supply, and as long as someone reads it or buys it the media will continue to print it. Maybe the Bachchans can say ‘don’t take any pictures’ but can imagine the result of that straight away !!!

    “It is so blissful and wonderful”

    Really tired of hearing, seeing and reading Aishwarya say that in her stupid accent. Ash is a perfect real life Poo!

    For every movie she says, “Its a wonderful experience” .. “It has been wonderful working in this film”, “Director/Actor has been a wonderful friend” and of course “its a privilege to be working with director/ costar”

    Everything for Aish is a wonderfully privileged …

    The uncrowned queen cum first daughter-in-law of India, has recommended marriage. So, everyone marry as soon as possible. If already married, dump your spouse and re-marry.

    Ash is irritating and fake, no doubt about it.

    ‘Ash is irritating and fake, no doubt about it.’

    Yep…I’ve found her to be profoundly fake since Bride and Prejudice. I don’t like the way she interviews. She’s very irritable and not direct/honest. She misses the Mads touch. I guess the only spunk in the front line actresses is Kareena. I find Preity a little fake (a good samaritan type) and Rani too bland (her TRRP interview was dreadful…she said ‘its about love’ abut 20times). But don’t mind Rani because its just she is a little boring. Anyway this is from just interviewing style perspective.

  101. Comment by nithi_s on 6 December 2007:

    Yes, Rani is very boring too. At least not as irritating as Mrs. Poo …

  102. Comment by sandy on 6 December 2007:

    By comparison, Madhuri personifies feminity, warmth and class. I was particularly irritated when I saw a clipping some months back where Big B was announcing their world tour and everyone from Ritesih to Lara to Bips to of course Ash-Abhi were present on stage.
    Abhishek was standing in between Ash and Lara and it appeared a bit childish for Ash to keep cooing into his ears and Abhi moving towards her constantly, ignoring Lara.

    No matter how much you are in love (it appear more like show-off to me), you just cannot make another woman uncomfortable like that.

  103. Comment by nithi_s on 6 December 2007:

    I liked Madhuri in her recent TV interviews — though she was a little high-nosed, as though she really beleived that she was on the top of her career when she left. After all, she was once the Mallika Sherawat of old times …

  104. Comment by Tania on 6 December 2007:

    how did u guess that Tango??? i am honestly amused!

  105. Comment by sandy on 6 December 2007:

    Ash needs to stop gushing about her marriage and get on with life. The media asks her these questions precisely because she’s more than happy to speak about it and in fact, it suits her well.
    As for Abhishek, he seems to have lost all focus from his career after marriage. He’s on his way to becomming another Fardeen Khan afer marriage. The latter, as one would know, has never recovered from his honeymoon.

  106. Comment by jayshah on 6 December 2007:

    ‘Madhuri personifies feminity, warmth and class’

    She’s just in a different league altogether !

    ‘Abhishek was standing in between Ash and Lara and it appeared a bit childish for Ash to keep cooing into his ears and Abhi moving towards her constantly, ignoring Lara.

    Sorry to say but met very few women who wouldn’t do the same in that situation. In fact men do it aswell. You could say its insecurity or whatever, but its also a natural reaction I think. Maybe its showing off, but part of it is saying ’s/he is mine’ !!!

    LOL..if Tikku Talsania was here..he would’ve definitely screamed–

    Som–E tu brutus? I thought changing nicks was Elvis bhai’s sole territory ;)

    “If already married, dump your spouse and re-marry.”

    LOL…Nithya, good to have you back :)

    Anway, I don’t find anything wrong with Aishwarya. She’s beautiful, successful and the way she behaves is actually the only way she can. Miss World cum Bacchan bahu, I mean one can’t expect her to be as forthcoming and blunt as a Kareena. But yeah, she could do without a bit of that plasticity. As for Abhishek, hmmmm…I don’t find him all that bad. But then, I’m not a woman, so Tania and Nithya would know better :)

  111. Comment by jayshah on 6 December 2007:

    nithi comparing Malaika and Mads is ridiculous. Anything rauncy or even risky Mads did was done in a classy way ! That’s always been her appeal. She was always beautiful and never stepped over the line by doing too much. Elegant and classy and at times sexy. Just cannot be compared to other actresses. Rani is the closest comparison by all accounts.

  112. Comment by Achilles on 6 December 2007:

    jay - there shud be a limit to ‘he is mine/ she is mine’ syndrome … specially when her hubby’s popularity diminishing so fast these days ;)

  113. Comment by Achilles on 6 December 2007:

    Rani isnt a quarter of what mads was!

  114. Comment by Sunny on 6 December 2007:

    Sandy–c’mon now. Fardeen Khan? :) Abhishek is certainly better than that in every which way. I mean, even the term ‘non-actor’ sounds like a superlative in case of Fardeen.

  115. Comment by sandy on 6 December 2007:

    “You could say its insecurity or whatever, but its also a natural reaction I think. Maybe its showing off, but part of it is saying ’s/he is mine’ !!!”

    Jay: I know, a woman feels thrilled when her guy only showers attention on her (and vice versa). Not denying that at all. But that whole ‘just you and me’ thing looks rather cheap, especially when there’s an equally attractive woman standing on your side. Imagine what she would feel?

  116. Comment by Achilles on 6 December 2007:

    sunny ji - just wait for Drowna ka Rona ;)

    diminishing??? Popular kab tha??

  118. Comment by Tania on 6 December 2007:

    Abhishek is a desperate wannabe..trying ever so hard to look masculine!! Aishwarya is ok minus her starry tantrums..the way she clutches him is sad..it looks like she’s almost clawing her nails in him.

  119. Comment by sandy on 6 December 2007:

    Sunny: Now you’re getting all serious and objective. It was said in jest baba.

  120. Comment by jayshah on 6 December 2007:

    ‘there shud be a limit to ‘he is mine/ she is mine’ syndrome … ‘

    Its not a syndrome. Its partially jealousy and protectiveness. I think it’s a natural reaction to some, maybe some do it intentionally (maybe what Sandy is getting at) but don’t know if that can be the conclusion here. I am sorry to say but if I had a gorgeous woman next to me as my wife and Hrithik was couple of metres away I’d be marking my territory !!! Just a gentle reminder that even though Hrithik’s a mate, he’s got no chance here. Don’t even think about buddy. She is all mine !!! :-) And I’m going home with her !

    Drowna ka Rona I’ll conveniently skip bhai. Will certainly give Sarkaar Raaj a watch though.

  131. Comment by sandy on 6 December 2007:

    I liked Ash in a couple of movies very much -HDDCS and Kandukiondain Kandukiondain but as a person, she does come across as very cold. And after marriage, her antics have only grown more irritating.
    Hey, and did she touch Abhi’s feet when they got married?!

  132. Comment by Achilles on 6 December 2007:

    LOL bhaijaan … do u mind extending the zodiac list?

  133. Comment by Sunny on 6 December 2007:

  134. Comment by jayshah on 6 December 2007:

    ‘but doesnt ash’s protectiveness strike as manipulative to u? to me its another vain attempt at raising aby baby’s stakes.’

    I don’t know these people. I just wouldn’t know. I’m going on what I see with friends etc. Manipulative is a strong word. Would say she is in love and natural reaction when a another hot woman is around your partner is to go towards your hubby. Imagine if she went away ! We’d be saying the whole relationship is thanda ! What say Abhishek wispered something in Lara’s ears ! Imagine the public fiasco then. What actually happened was a pretty natural thing. And we are blowing pot holes into that ?

  135. Comment by shetty on 6 December 2007:

    How did you get that bhaijaan? I mean Sunny’s & Tango’s??

  140. Comment by Sunny on 6 December 2007:

    If I have to take a guess, I’d say Taurean or probably Scorpio.
