\"Vakkalanka_Anu\"<\/a>When you work as a communications specialist for the United States Commission<\/a> on International Religious Freedom, you are bound to be cramped for time for your daily activities, let alone blogging. But that is exactly what Anu Vakkalanka<\/a><\/strong>, lady who is of Indian descent, has Dutch roots and is advising the United States very own epicenter does.<\/p>\n

While studying for a master\u2019s degree in International Relations at George Washington University, Anu turned her hobby into a profession with her blog Indian Makeup Diva<\/a>. Today she has become one of the most celebrated makeup advisors on the social media circuit. And, Anu has also been selected amongst 10 most beautiful<\/a> people in, yes, the Capitol Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anu is a mixture of professionalism, ardent sports regimen and \u2026 girlishness. Her two loves, or true love if you want to say, are nail polish and climbing! In her own words, she loves make-up<\/a> because it makes the world \u201ca better place, because it\u2019s pretty, and it makes you look pretty in a moment\u201d.<\/p>\n

Staying in the western world has not made her grow unaware of what\u2019s happening in her native country, India. A lot of her posts are about the makeup that the leading Indian actresses wear<\/a>. Also, she has done quite a few round ups of new beauty products that hit the market every now and then.<\/p>\n

What is really interesting about her blog post is that quite frequently, she comes up with video posts of her showing people how to get a particular look. One such video blog is a three part series on how to achieve the look that Mallika Arora Khan wore in song for the movie Dabangg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Quoting her \u201cI’m Indian; I came out of the womb wearing eyeliner<\/em><\/strong>,\u201d says Anu. And it is this confidence and her enigmatic charm that makes Anu Vakkalanka, our \u201cBloggerati of the Fortnight<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n
