 Out with the old

nandita 

In with the new (sorta) 

Sorry Nats, I know you’re hot, smart and very cute but I have a new fantasy number one, Nandita Das.

I watched Fire on the weekend and was struck by two things about her, her eyes and her voice. Show me a girl with big, dark doe eyes and you will promptly see my tongue hit the floor and drool issue from the side of my mouth. Similarly a sexy melodic voice is another big turn on and this is where Natalie Portman falls down. She has that ‘slightly’ annoying American nasal twang, which if I heard day in day out, would probably cause me to throw myself off the Golden Gate Bridge. I’ve been able to overlook this until now but not after hearing Nandita Das’ amazingly sugary voice. Just enough of a trace of an Indian accent to make her endearing without it being so strong as so she sounds like Ajit Agarkar.

The girl is cute and she’s into social work, smart, etc. And just look at her eyes, the epitome of the cute girl next door, not that I’ve ever had one, just a crazy old lady with vicious Alsatians. There is of course the small matter that she’s over 10 years older than me and umm….married. Oh well I guess that’s why its called a fantasy!
