Double the Hotness

One of my favorite things to do is find similarities among Hollywood and Bollywood. It's totally not intentional, but when I make the realization, it's delightful.

Today I bring forth to you double the hotness. 

Remember when Tom Cruise was hot? Pre-jumping the couch, Scientology wackeroo, of course. What would life be like if there were two? I introduce to you Akshay Kumar (left).

    
(disregard the labels, not my doing)

 Mr. Cruise actually went to India for Mission Impossible 4 promotions, but sadly Kumar and him did not meet.

Though the two look the same and married famous ladies, they certainly do not carry the same reputation.

Does this mean there are more Tom Cruises hotnesses roaming this world, possibly, undiscovered?? Makes you wonder if your own lookalike is lurking in the other corner of the world.

Do you think the two look alike?

Blog Post Concocting

Here are a few things I took away from the four links posted in blogblogUCO's post.


1) I loved the tab about the four pillars of writing. Being reader conscious is a key element I'll certainly consider. It's going to be a creative challenge to get the average reader to be pulled into reading about India. The second pillar regarding great headlines was useful because... uh, refer to previous post. The other two pillars which touch upon concise writing and scannable material will definitely be helpful.


2) "Keep it personable so as to invite interaction through blog comments" is a sentence which basically sums up how to maintain the tone of my blog.


3) The third link discusses blog formatting. I will admit I never consider the format of my post when I write. I do go back and a do a hidnsight edit, but planning before seems like it will be more effective.


4) In the fourth link I like the idea of re-introducing concepts. It's easy, with a conversation tone, to assume your readers are on the same page (pun unintended) as you and there is never any harm in repeating yourself even if some of your readers are already aware of certain things.
