In the Men & Women section of the express today there is an article on Shyam Benegal. Behind him stands the poster of one of his movies- Nisha.

Nisha is one of my favourite names. It suggests a person who is intriguing, just like the night.

It would suit a dark skinned girl very much. In Benegal's movie it belonged to Shabana Azmi. She was on the poster.

However many a girl called Nisha, turns out to be fair as the moon (our side of it), much to my disappointment (Not fair uh?). Perhaps the parents meant to refer to the Deep Black Eyes or Night like hair.

Or perhaps Fair and Lovely had a role to play.
