Here's a list of things you can say to your man, to let him know that you appreciate him and that he's special.

Unlike the ones from the opposite sex, women are accustomed to receiving compliments - from the random guy at the pub to the street whistler! On the other hand, men rarely get a compliment. So fire off a meaningful compliment to your man and make way for a steaming night ahead.

Boy, you can work it!
Tell your man how awesome he is in the bedroom — this one definitely ranks at the top of his list! A guy dies to hear how good he is at the skills he works so hard to perfect.

What would I do without you?
Guys love

Women are always quick to state what they hate about men, trying to prove that it's them who should work towards keeping the relationship going. However, it's not always men who are to be blamed. Let's face it, as there are things women hate about men, there are also quite a few things that men hate about women. Here are few kinds of women that men tend to stay away from:

Miss clingy
Believed to be every man's worst fear, this type of woman frequently verbalises how desperate she is to get married. Clinginess is a big mix of insecurity, possessiveness, and other self-esteem issues. Men

Rolihlahla Mandela was born into the Madiba clan in Mvezo, Transkei, on July 18, 1918, to Nonqaphi Nosekeni and Nkosi Mphakanyiswa Gadla Mandela, principal counsellor to the Acting King of the Thembu people, Jongintaba Dalindyebo.

His father died when he was a child and the young Rolihlahla became a ward of Jongintaba at the Great Place in Mqhekezweni. Hearing the elder’s stories of his ancestor’s valour during the wars of resistance, he dreamed also of making his own contribution to the freedom struggle of his people.   "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, b

  The Ego Versus Spirit: Which One Are You Living By?   Your ego is mind-driven. Anytime you are operating in your ego you will have a racing mind, anxiety, anger and fear. The ego is a flame that feeds you to be right all the time. It will convince you that you are superior in all ways and that any misfortune that came your way was the result of an outside force that has nothing to do with you. The ego convinces you that you are special and unique. No one else is like you and you feel sorry for all the poor slobs who cant be as evolved and superior as you are.   The ego competes and strives to be number one in all things. It is based in external gain

SERVICE TAX At Restaurants - VERY IMPORTANT !!!
Interesting.
I find restaurant bills often so confusing,
I just give up and pay the amount shown n the bottom line.

Perhaps we shouldn't.

Incidentally, I also resent the inclusion of Service Charges in
restaurant bills, because it assumes that I was satisfied with the
service. Just a matter of principle. Service Charge should be
something I leave behind at my personal discretion.
I recently demanded that the service charge be removed as the service was non-existent. After

he word tweet now officially means two things: the chirp of a bird and to post a message to social-networking site Twitter.   The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) the widely accepted authority of the English language has announced that it has included an official second definition for the word tweet. The new definition describes tweet as "To make a posting on the social networking service Twitter. Also: to use Twitter regularly or habitually."   The word tweet, as it relates to Twitter, is thus now officially part of the English language.   OED chief editor John Simpson announced the addition of the word tweet, as it relates to Twitter, in a June update.

  Nobody saw it coming. Nobody wanted to. It was, after all, the summer of 1999. The spirit of the times was heady and a thousand entrepreneurs had bloomed. Fabmart and Firstandsecond.com wanted to be the Amazon — the giant book store — of India. Rediff was selling knick-knacks on its e-commerce channel. Sify too had joined the bandwagon. Apnaloan was promising to ‘sell’ loans online. Shaadi.com wanted to find your dream “other”. And then on April 4, 2000,  Nasdaq crashed.

K. Vaitheeswaran, the CEO of Indiaplaza, remembers the moment vividly. Many venture funds of that vintage perished. Entrepreneurs were worse off. “There

While nobody doubts the potential of e-commerce in India, what is upping the ante is the prolific marketing spends of some of the companies in the space even as the players pursue the profitability paradigm. As the world's most well-known e-tailing site Amazon launches its marketplace model in India, the battlefield is going to get tougher in an already intrepid marketplace.

A popular meme on the internet cites the return of Jagmohan Dalmia, Nawaz Sharif and Narayana Murthy to the BCCI, Pakistan and Infosys, and makes a case for the 90s being back. And yet for most TV viewers, it feels like a time warp right back to the early 2000s — the infamous and very shortly liv

Research suggests OBEs are more common than one might think, with around 10% of the population having reported at least one such experience in their lifetime.

Some people experience their usual physical surroundings from a different spatial perspective; others report travelling out of their body to imaginary dream realms. A sense of leaving one’s body

Some of the world’s busiest oceans are hotspots for shipwrecks, often caused by adverse weather that will only increase with climate change, according to a new study.

The South China Seas and East Indies, the East Mediterranean and Black Sea, and the North Sea and British Isles had the most accidents between 1999 and 2011.

  The theme for this year’s World Environment Day celebrations is Think.Eat.Save. Think.Eat.Save is an anti-food waste and food loss campaign that encourages you to reduce your foodprint. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), every year 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted. This is equivalent to the same amount produced in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, 1 in every 7 people in the world go to bed hungry and more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die daily from hunger.  

Given this enormous imbalance in lifestyles and the resultant devastating effects on the environment, this year’s theme – Think.Eat.
