It is “desert” not “dessert”, right? I always get confused between the two. Anyway, Angie suggested desert songs to go with my fire songs, and while I still prefer fire for heat, it is also freakishly cold right now (seriously, the forecast says well below freezing into the beginning of March), so I will take any option.
And then my favorite song from my favorite movie featuring my favorite Nivin, “Dubai”.
So long as we are down in Kerala, let’s check out Dulquer in “Oru Kari Mukilinu”!
Okay, no desert technically visible, but it takes place in a bar in the middle of a desert. “Manohari”
One of Aamir’s all time best love songs, he just looks good in a desert. “Guzaarish”
But John Abraham looks better, “Khwabon Khwabon”
And naturally, John makes me think of Abhishek, who looked pretty good in a desert himself! “Chori Chori Dekha Tumhe”
And then there’s Akshay, not at his peak hotness but pretty good, and I love this song “Shaayraana”
The honeymoon song from Dabangg! In which Salman is one of the more charming and romantic characters in his career. “Chori Kiya Re”
And to end, going back to Shahrukh, “Zaalima”!

Here’s a memory assist I’ve been using since grade school. Desserts have Sugar and Spice; deserts just have Sand. Hope that helps!

My grade school mnemonic was “dessert has 2 s’s because you want seconds. No one wants seconds of a desert” 🙂

Your teachers were so helpful! Mine just told me to “sound it out” which is useless in this case. And in most cases actually! I hate the “sound it out” theory

Indoor heat: Aga Bai with my darling Rani and gorgeous Prithviraj, who says he’d rather be known for his acting than his pecs. Sigh.

I am wondering, how it would be if we had a baahubali remake with Dulquer as baahubali, Nivin Pauly as bhalla deva, Prithviraj as Kattappa and Mohan Lal as Bijjala deva
Also The desert scenes reminded me of Jodhaa Akbar. What a waste of Hrithik’s hotness !?
Imagine a Zaalima like song with Shah Rukh & Maahira Khan in Jodhaa Akbar
Hrithik was topless with an Elephant & not with Aishwarya
Also ending with this bonus desert song starring Tabu & Ajith
