Mmmmm, Tapioca

I really don't know what made me think of Brazilian tapioca (see the picture below). Maybe because I'm hungry? Whatever the reason, as soon as I Googled "tapioca brasileira" I was inundated with mouth-watering images of this delicious food. I LOVE tapioca - especially with cheese.....mmmmm, and with coffee......early in the morning.....along side my E.....in Manaus..... Ok, enough, enough.  I can't take it; I miss it too much and I'm making things worse for myself. All I can do is post a picture and let you imagine the  taste of this delectable food, even if it doesn't do it justice. Enjoy!

Believes in the good in every person, a character trait often misinterpreted by others as gullibility and/or naĂŻvety.

Got 30000 (!) marriage proposals on Valentine's day 2000.

Was the victim of a defamation campaign in late december 2000. Rumors were spread that he stated in an interview that he hates Nepal and its people. This immediately led to riots in Nepal, cinemas showing his films were attacked, posters burnt, Hindi movies banned in general for some days and several people shot dead by the police. The events made headlines all over the world and the governments of Indian and Nepal got involved as well. Anti Indian/Hrithik sentiment died down quickly when it became clear that the alleged statements were a fabrication and the rumors were spread by a malicious third party, possibly the Bollywood mafia, still pissed about not getting the foreign rights to Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000). Nepal born actress Manisha Koirala played an important role in getting the news to the people in Nepal that the accusations were false.
