Well, who says any publicity is not good publicity?? Supposingly, the gossip mongers have picked up on this Iqbal and Aseem publicity argument, and the copies of the articles are proliferating around the internet! Well, that has increased his hits, plus the usual proliferation of the same two movie reviews and e-shops selling the DVDs and CDs. Well, on Friday when I left ... overall hits on Google were 636 (124 omitted) and now it is 803 (134). The day however that Looksmart decides to add one more hit to its count ... I'll know Aseem has some fame!

Well ... you know how I was on the verge of hating Aseem a couple of days ago ... well at the beginning of the day was not too pleased when he said this about Iqbal Khan when asked about Iqbal's accusation:

"Who is Iqbal Khan? Am I supposed to give him any importance?"

Sounded way too arrogant ... I was seriously thinking of thumping him down my list (good bit down - like maybe off the list) ... and promoting Abhishek back to number one ... but then ... I began to feel quite cordial towards him ... it could be my looking at some pictures ... and still thinking he was good-looking - that soften my heart a bit (pity the people who don't have good looks - everything will go against them!).

Anyway, found some chat transcripts of him at chatinterviews.indiatimes.com which he did in October, 2002 and November, 2004. He spoke so warmly of his daughter ... and I really can't hate a person who love his children ... becomes hard too ... no matter how you try. He mentioned his failed (reckon divorcees just wince at that word!) marriage and said

"In short I guess it wasn't meant to be."

- sounds painful ... but then I am feeling cordial to him so willing to think good of him (must be the position of the moon and the stars!) ... and he goes on to say

"Family I believe is the most important ingredient of life and topped with love would (it) be heaven."

Can't fault a person for thinking family is top priority ... its one of my top priority ... see it is not easy to not like someone when you dig up some evidence that supports your view (this is my reflexivity - yeah I know not a very ethnographic account so far - but thought I would throw that word in to remember I am supposed to be doing that!) He did say something that I think his past girlfriends may feel hurt about, he said

"Not found true love yet."

Probably, looking too hard to find something that doesn't exist (yep ... might be feeling a bit cynical today - since it is Valentine's Day :D) - and not accepting what he has right there and making the best of it.
