Depression

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

We all face depression in our life. Depression has become a part of our daily life. In today world where there is cut throat competition everywhere. It is very difficult to keep up to the challenges. The demanding nature of job and society tears us apart and we become a slave to depression. In medical terms depression is illness or a feeling of being hopeless. It makes you fell sad and lonely. There is no one in this world that does not face depression in any point of life. But the fact is that we need to fight it. As the consequences of depression can be very dangerous. It can lead to mental imbalance and attack the heart too. Depression can be genetic too. In recent reviews from Desibaba it has been found out that if we have history of depression in the family then it can be passed onto us too. People who feel depressed always feel low on energy levels, mood and happiness. Desibaba strongly suggests that we need to understand that depression is just a matter of time and we need to make an effort to come out of it.

Aamir going Bald

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Yes you heard it right Aamir khan is going to get bald for his role in Ghajini. And why not, if the role demands then Aamir who his known to be a perfectionist will do anything to get the scene right. Remember his long moustaches and long hair that he had grown for Mangal Pandey. He also changed his look for Rang de Basanti and tare Zameen Par. Not only is he getting bald for Ghajini, it is reported that he is also working hard on getting the eight pack abs. recently when he visited Delhi people were expecting him to be carry his new bald look. It was told to Desibaba that he will get in to his new look in the first week of March, but to our disappointment he has yet not shaven off his hair. Looks like Aamir and the director of the film are stilling thinking on the right look for Aamir in the film, but believe us it is definitely going to be the bald look. Let’s hope that this Aamir starred film will also have some good hindi songs like his other films he has done in the past.
