Itching to make a new love exclusive? But not sure if the other person is on the same page? Take a deep breath and ask.
You will need:
- Two-month relationship
- Soul-searching
- Timing
- Sobriety
- Patience
- Courage
Step1:
Never make assumptions. According to a survey, 70% of men and 82% of women agree that a couple is not in an exclusive relationship, unless they have discussed it together and agreed to it.
Step2:
Wait until you’ve been dating for 2 or 3 months until to approach the subject of exclusivity.
Step3:
Reflect on the relationships so far. Are you sure that you are ready to date this person exclusively?
Step4:
Pick a good time and place to have the talk. Select a day when you both are relaxed, have ample privacy and time to chat. And most important of them all is to be sober.
Step5:
Don’t simply announce that you are ready to be exclusive. Start by suggesting that you have a prudent discussion to talk about.
Step6:
Be honest about what you want. But don’t issue demands and really listen to what the other person has to say.
Step7:
If the other person agrees to exclusivity, then welcome to Coupledom! If they prefer to keep the things casual, you can either end the relationship or continue as before, atleast for a while.
Step8:
If you didn’t get the answer you were hoping for, suggest re-visiting the issue in a couple of months. You partner may be against commitment at the moment or he may be needing a little push. So its worth the waiting!
Ever wondered how stars stay on size too, besides starvation, personal trainers and plastic surgery? Wonder no more.
You will need:
• Apple cider vinegar

Drink two teaspoons of unfiltered apple cider vinegar before lunch and diner. Thats what Fergie at the Black eyed peas credits for her flat toned tummy.
Step2:
Snack on the whites of an hard-boiled egg whenever your hungry. Thats how Heidi Klum maintains her super model figure.
Step3:
Replace your tea with Dandelion leaf tea. Madonna is a fan for it as if flushes away the water weight.

Know the right thing to say and act if your loved one suddenly finds himself out of work.
You will need:
- Sensitivity
- Financial Review
- Intimacy
- Fun
Step1:
Give reassurance that your presence will take him a long way.This would make him feel safer and would make him rely upon you for love and support.Avoid cliches like,”This would turn out to be a blessing in disguise”.That could seriously piss him off.
Step2:
Allow himself a few days to wallow himself kiddie without passing judgements or comments.Someone who has lost their job needs time to grieve over it.Encourage your partner to take a few days to regroup before actually starting the job search.
Step3:
Review your finances together to figure out how you can make it through a low income for a while.This would help lower both your stress levels.
Step4:
Initiate intimacy.Your partner,no doubt,is feeling a loss of self esteem.Making him feel wanted,attracted and loved would provide a big ego boost.
Step5:
Find low cost or free ways for both of you to spend time together and have fun.
When one person is suddenly home all day,the rules and routines sometimes have to be re-negotiated.
You will need:
- Understanding
- Heart-to-heart
- Respect
- optimism
Step1:
If your spouse is trying to find another job,don’t expect them to start doing all the house work.Looking for a job,especially in a bad economy can be a full time job in itself.
Step2:
But don’t cut them too much slack either.If it becomes obvious that your loved one is neither looking for a job or dealing with the kids or house work,its time for a serious discussion!
Step3:
Discuss one another’s expectations preferrably before the tempers flares. Come to a mutual agreement on what house work or childcare is and it how could be shared till he gets the job.
Step4:
Be on a lookout for signs of depression – like sleeping too much,or not being able to sleep or over or under-eating.If your partner turns towards alcohol,drugs,gambling or other destructive behaviours,insist they get conseling.Men are particularly susceptable to depression after job loss because much of their self-esteem is tied up with their job.
Step5:
Keep assuring them that you have complete faith in their ability to find another job.Most importantly,stay positive yourself.
I really wanted to discuss on this topic when i came across a gang of guys staring at a cute chick from top to bottom.They literally fucked her with their venomous stares.It was as if they were scanning her complete body searching for tumour spots.Its such a sick behaviour very commonly found among indians. I seriously wish that people stop this habit and offenders should be sued.I believe there was a law passed by indian government in the year of 1997 when IT was on its boom,that staring is an offense.But why dont people take it seriously?We walk with our heads high saying that india has developed and we have software projects in hand which can yeild india money for next forthcoming two decades.But people have not changed.They are still the same.They are still sick.I don think its easy for any girl to happily walk out with the new stylish tops that she bought from pantaloons.People comment on her, ravish her with their poison filled eyes and even go to the extend of abusing her with their own style of language spoiling that girl’s happiness for that day.And women are no different.There was a school girl must be around 18 staring at a group of rogues and expecting the same from them.For heaven sake please stop it.Why dont we mind our own business. And poor foreigners,they are the worst victims.We look at them like aliens.I saw a family from some foreign nation eating pastas at emilios.Even the waiter who was there,was staring at them made them feel so uncomfortable.Everyone looked at them like antiques.I really wish even india turns out like a developed foreign nation with good ethics and i also know the fact that this can never happen even in my wildest dream.

Have you become fed up looking at the flabby skin hanging from your lower torso. Never mind, there are ways to get rid of your bags.
You will need:
- A lot of self control
- A little patience
- Exercises
- Healthy foods
Begin your day with a brisk walk or a jog or yoga or exercises (If you don’t find time at the mornings, try with the evenings). Breakfast is the most important of them all. So eat fruit salads or veg salads along with honey to boost your blood level. Avoid coffee.
Your afternoon diet should be balanced and advisably less of white rice and more of side dish. Munch on nutritive candies instead of chips and packed foods. Stop chewing gum as that could take in a lot of air inside to bloat your tummy. 8 glasses of water would detoxify your body and maintain your hygiene levels.
End the day with fruits and a glass of milk along with your regular dinner.
