I've asked this question on Yahoo! Answers before, but it did not work out at all. My computer started freezing out of random, so I rebooted my computer entirely. But after the reboot, it still does it. I have only 12 programs installed, which are: -Adobe Fireworks CS4 (NEEDED) -Adobe Flash Player Plug-in (For Mozilla Firefox) -Apple Application Support -Apple Software Update -AVG Free 9.0 -Belkin Wireless Utility (My Internet) -Camtasia Studio (NEEDED) -Free Registry Repair (Tried To Fix With This) -Google Chrome (NEEDED) -Java(TM) 6 Update 17 -Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable -Mozilla Firefox 3.5.6 (NEEDED) -Quicktime Pro 7 (NEEDED) -Registry Easy v5.6 Pro (Tried To Fix With This) -Windows Explorer 8 -Windows XP Service Pack 3 -WinRAR Archiver Pro (NEEDED) My Computer is 10 Years Old. A Compaq FS740 Monitor with a Compaq Presario Tower. I have different problems every time I HAVE to reboot. I Full-Scanned the computer with my AVG Free 9.0, and no viruses were found. I don't know if it's either a problem with the Registry, a Virus, or something else. What can I do to stop this random freezing? [url=http://gordoarsnaui.com]santoramaa[/url]

Sashikala aunty has a fan here. She had a lot of common sense, sorely missing in her later generations. Her sex appeal lies in her common sense which she demonstrated very early in her career. Where have such women gone?

Incidentally, my aunt is a great fan of Karan Johar who she believes is the real,sensuous (wo)men. She never used to miss any episode of KWK and said -" jab meri haalat aisi ho jati hai usey dekh kar toh bechare ladko ka kya hota hoga".

I like Lalita Pawar . Her smile makes it to her eyes. There's a touch of vulnerability in her. She's smouldering. They don't make 'em like her anymore, sigh !

Ritu: ""Rekha: She was too cultivated for my liking. Very wannabe :"" That's probably because you did not see her very first film (or one of the firsts), "Sawan Bhadon". She was a disaster! She cultivation was cultivated much later! Anamika: yes indee, Hema had great legs...although personally I could not stand her (in movies I mean!) Smita was tops!

Ledzius: IdeaSmith's brave new scientific hypothesis, expressed with great comic panache, is that one can do a morphology of masculine paradigms by correlating a man's Bollywood starlet preferences. Your comment validates some much older sociological thinking: (1) left to their own, a group of men will always sink to the lowest common denominator and (2) that objectification of women remains a favorite male pastime. Your comment -- which can be paraphrased, "Me like tits!" -- doesn't really advance the discussion, though it may have been naughtily thrilling for you to share that remarkable piece of information with us. Sure, it's harmless enough in this context. But it is disappointing nonetheless to see the enthusiasm shift from silly play-along with IdeaSmith's brilliantly nutty scheme to a full-blown adolescent circle jerk. I know, I'm a kill-joy. Sue me. Cheers, MBJ

I like Singapore and Malaysian Airlines hostesses, especially when they bend down in front of my seat to remove/insert trays from the food cart. And most straight guys would be lying if they said they don't try to look in that direction when that happens.

I thought Hema wore those odd pajama things the heroines all used to wear under their dance skirts. Anyway that gorgeous figure is all South Indian genes. Look at those beautiful bronze Chola figures, you'll see from where those legs came. And the narrow waist! and doe eyes!

Hema didn't need to...check out all her "banjara" skirt song sequences. Even the final song in Sholay - the woman has legs that are MILES long and absolutely shapely! Must be all the hours of dancing.

did Hema ever reveal her legs in any movie? I don't think she wore a swimsuit in any film. I once saw an old movie called "Dastaan" with Suraiya and Raj Kapoor. There was an actress called Veena in it. She had tremendous presence and acted superbly. Another beautiful actress is Suchitra Sen, from Bengali films, who was seen in "Mamta" and "Aandhi." Impressive and charismatic.

Ritu: Thanks for the info. CID it was and now see your point...funny, but Waheeda Rehman did scowl a lot even in the early flicks. Solva Saal - she spends most of her time being grumpy. So one does wonder.... :-) Re: Madhubala, not sure if she was a bimbette or not but her comic timing was brilliant. I wonder if she has suffered from a Monroe-style pigeon-holing where her "light" roles became a way of writing her off as a bimbette? Having said that, anyone of her old comedies with Kishore Kumar brightens up a dull day for me. Oh and the funniest tribute to Madhubala: I know someone who named their favourite horse after her!! :-) Btw - what of Hema Malini? She had the best legs in the industry!

Dimple is gorgeous. Utterly ravishing to look at, she can tackle ANY role. What a tragedy that her best years were not utilised in acting, as she was married to Rajesh Khanna, who maltreated her grossly. Madhubala was used as a money-spinning machine by her family. She was exquisite, and sexy in every fleeting expression. ONE smile of hers could send any male into a happy daze. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKWBpLkLfNY with Dev Anand Her dance (fully clothed)in "Phagun" brought back admirers by the thousands to see the picture again.

@ Aditi : Vulnerable, sweet and empty-headed, that is nothing but the tagline of a bimbette :).vulnerability though I agree is a desirable trait, both in men and in women. Smita Patil was smouldering! She went away too soon. Shabana came across as a more 'head' person.. refined and articulate as opposed Smita who had raw appeal. DN did not make much impact. Though I do have great childhood memories of all those 80s films like Chashm-e-baddoor etc. Rekha: She was too cultivated for my liking. Very wannabe :) But one has to conceed that the actresses and actors of the bygone era were real men and women. Things are too assembly line now, despite so much going into the 'look' of a character they all look the same!
