I'm posting this for YOUR health! Cat video clip: Billyjean wants more munchies.


 

According to Bored Panda, "Research shows that viewing online Cat media (i.e. pictures and videos) is related to positive emotions. It may even work as a form of digital therapy or stress relief for some users. Some feelings of guilt from postponing tasks can also be reduced by viewing Cat content.

Well, in that case, this post is for YOUR health benefit! Not mine! ;0)

My girl Billyjean requesting a second bowl - immediately after the first. 

And when I got up and served her highness... she didn't want it and went to sleep.
 
Why? 

Cause....

Cat.

Rich Kids of Bollywood: The Young, Loaded, Next Gen





India is famously indulgent of celebrity children in ways that borders on the profligate. Here’s a look at the Indian Second Gen Z-ers; young, wealthy and born to Bollywood.

On a talk show, Shwetha Bachchan, eldest daughter of Indian thespian Amitabh Bachchan, noted that she enjoys the best of two worlds; all the perks of peripheral fame courtesy of the most famous film family in India, and yet, all the privacy and normalcy of being a non-actor, left unbothered by selfie chasers.

With social media honing in and amplifying the otherwise private lives of star kids, Second Gen Z of Bollywood is living their best life on the ‘gram. Fresh out of high-school and pre graduation and career, their social media posts are montages of private jet-setting holidays, vacations on luxurious yachts, designer shopping sprees cosigned by very famous celebrity signatures on black Amexs. Here’s a look at generation next of Bollywood...

My feature on the young, second and third-gen Bollywood-ites, who are breathtakingly wealthy and spending like there's no tomorrow, is up online at SCMP.com - check it out here.
