So he’s finally asked you out on a date? Congratulations!

After what will I wear, the biggest question that plagues a girl's mind before going on a date is what will I talk about? This is the big question that keeps many people away from the fun and pleasure of dating. But it need not be that horrifying. A date should be preceded by moments of tingling pleasure and expectations, not by nail-biting terror and fear.

How To Make Your First Date Successful?

Boss. The one person can make you life a living hell!

You boss may not be like a typical boss who tends to come late when you are early and early when you are late. He may not have the hobby of throwing papers across tables and shouting like a hungry gorilla. In short, he may not be a typical bossy boss. Yet, you may find him irritating!

But alas! Relatives and bosses are two things we can rarely choose (unless we decide to choose our life partner and jobs considering this factor!)

“Aur Batao?”

“Kya Batao?”

Does that sound familiar to you? Have you ever felt that you no longer have enough to talk about to you love?

Remember how you used to talk for hours at length without getting bored of those silly conversations? And there were always enough things to talk about! Then what happened? Why have all the topics suddenly disappeared into thin air?

You love him, and you know he loves you too! Only you don’t talk about it any more… or about anything else for that matter!

You are not alone! In the modern broad-minded and open world, people have learnt to accept break ups and move on. Strictly speaking, this means that you get together with a guy, date a few times, perhaps fall in love, fight, break up and move on. All of these stages are more or less acceptable in our society. But when you plan to do all of these things with the guy your best friend went out with….it’s a completely different story.

Here’s another bold competitor ready to race the world of small screen entertainment: NDTV Imagine.

It plans to beat the heavy, well-established competition around it by emerging as a ‘unique’ channel, targeting the ‘unique’ family audience with its ‘unique’ reality shows and ‘unique’ remakes of popular old programmes like Ramayan! What a ‘unique’ idea!

“Customer is the King”, they say. And in this age of fierce competition, this is rather true. But being an informed and gracious customer can get you that extra attention. Spa or parlor or salon etiquette is not a much discussed topic in India. Many women wonder if it really exists! Most of us are at a loss on proper salon behavior.

But don’t let this stand in the way of your being loved as a client at your favorite salon. Just read the following guidelines and your stylist/attendant is bound to look forward to servicing you again.

Sunday is definitely a Funday! Especially when you have Arshad Warsi to entertain you throughout!

As a Haryanvi cab driver, Arshad certainly steals the show in his latest movie Sunday! In spite of the movie being a multi-starrer with a big star like Ajay Devgan in its lead role… Arshad Warsi time and again pops up with excellent trumps that certainly make you jump with laughter!

North India is shivering amidst low temperatures, the sun playing truant and chilly winds sucking life out of people. Most people want to remain cuddled in their warm blankets all the time. But the courageous ones are planning winter vacations to hill stations like Shimla, Srinagar etc. This is the best time of the year to visit these places and catch some snowy action, right? But you don’t want to end up getting Hypothermia!

Ashwariya is riding high on success, fame and marital bliss. And she’s also all set for some social service. Guess what? Daulatpur village in UP is suddenly famous for the 10 bigha plot of land that Amitabh Bachchan purchased there recently. And the Bachchans plan to run a girls high school on that piece of land. And not surprisingly, the school will be called The Aishwariya Rai Bachchan Girls Intermediate College. How’s that for community service?

Sale Every women loves this word!

It is one thing we love to take advantage of! It is so much fun and satisfying to buy your favourite brands at considerably lower prices. But are we really able to draw the maximum benefit out of it?

Here are some tricks and advises that will help you bag the best deal from a sale.

Distinguish ‘true sale’ from ‘a promotional trap’
