Captivating

---

The wonder of south Asia resides in the physique of this young male. His dark complexion is the first thing that attracts. It is like the canvas upon which the rest of his handsome features take their place.

---

From the rich brown color of the canvas emerges the texture of the young man's dark black hair, thick and lustrous. I cannot imagine a more perfect pairing. The stuble of hair on his chin gives him an added touch of beauty. आनन्द

Take note: the most masculine of Indian men wear earrings.

One cannot escape his sensuality. Thin strands of straight black hair form a triangular pattern which perfectly outlines the muscular contour of his chest. His pecs... supple, succulent, sublime! आनन्द

This south Asian male possesses both an inner and an outer beauty...

The outer is apparent in the images shown here. To glimpse the inner one must gaze into his eyes. आनन्द

Selah
Look into his eyes...
Can you see the gentle soul inside?
Is this what Ghandi was so moved by as to devote the cause of his life?
Is this what inspired George Harrison to the point of worship in My Sweet Lord?

His dark flesh... in varying tones suggests a most fragrant scent, like the scintillating odor of musk; his dark hair... in broad strokes glistens atop his head like a crown. आनन्द

---

I would like, for a frozen moment, to gaze upon the beauty of dnanA--the eman by which he is known. But first I must control somehow the palpitations of my heart.

---

His taut physique... a smooth, clean surface on which to drape one's linen. A coursing hairline... which divides his handsome torso like velvet threads in a prince's finery. आनन्द

---

Enamored of a south Asian prince... such is my curse. Even the lesser elements are cause for fixation. His accessories are roughly hewn but attractive, just as he is...

Is it the rough-hewn accessories that draws one's attention, the soft strands of hair arranged in patterns on his body, the stubble on his chin, or the long, reflective bands of hair that crown his head?

It is all of these and more.

It is his dark, quiet eyes, his taut physique, his textured skin and most of all his beautiful complexion.

It is आनन्द.

Enamored of dnanA
It is ironic that fair & lovely are the ideal in the East while dark & handsome are the aspiration in the West. Is it simply a case of opposite attraction? As for myself, I was just minding my business one fine day, walking along a back road in the Vietnamese seaside city of Vung Tau. There, I came upon a small construction site and, lo and behold, before me appeared the most handsome man of the darkest complexion I had ever seen. His head was covered in curly, black shimmering locks. He was Sri Lankan, I came to discover, working for a Singaporean builder. It must have been a first for me to happen upon, so unexpectedly, a man so exotic and so attractive. From that day on I was hooked! Wham, Bam, Alakazam आनन्द
