Though, since the day I have started to write for this blog, I have become a little interested in news. But I still don’t hide my face in the newspaper every morning. I prefer to read news online. Its easier to copy hyperlinks :p Read more

Jean Kerr, a well known playwright and author, noted for her sense of humor, had once quoted
“I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want — an adorable pancreas?”
It was supposed to be a on a lighter note, but outer beauty does matter. You don’t really need to have a flawless skin or extremely appealing feature, but its always good to be a little presentable. People with a pleasing personality are often the ones who end up getting an extra attention and admiration as well. Its all about your personality that includes your clothes, hair, body and skin.

I really love winters. Its the time when there’s a serene kind of freshness all around in the air. The spine chilling winter air, the dry leaves, the fashionable winter clothes and the redness of the cheeks (you know whose? 
). With so many good hings, there are a few problems that are more specific to this very season. It doesn’t make this season any less cherished, but we surely need to take care of it. Dry skin, chapped lips and dandruff are very common in this season. Read more

Trying to Rejuvenate The Blog

If you look at the last post date you’d be surprised to note that it was posted in October. Yes, it was 29th and that makes it a few days ago, but for a blog that boasts of providing you “the latest” (bothered to check the title?), a gap of so many days is not at all accepted. Even I realized it but couldn’t help myself. After having posted a few good posts (my readers told me so), I still couldn’t figure out why I was not enjoying it? Why is it that I was running out of things to write? I was getting a good feedback though. Himanshu found it interesting, Nethra liked the way I write, Pratik and Tarun were inspired by the tips and some guy very smartly left lots of comments about different posts with links to his blog. If someone thinks that giving a link here, would be able to promotes his blog, then I would say that I have been able to build a name, however small it might be. Thanks a lot to all our readers.

3G has been the buzz word for quite some time and the word was visible, no matter where you go or what you watch. A number of carriers are after the 3g frequency, Indian and international. However, most of them seem to have been neglecting the Wimax spectrum and thus it is a good option for new carriers. But, seems like a big name is here thats eying the available Wimax spectrum in India for Broadband Access and the name is much familiar to you:Google. Google is all set for 2.3 GHz Wimax spectrum rather than going for the 3G sale. Read more

In the previous part, I had discussed about the basics of Share Trading. I had covered “intraday” and “long term investments”. In this post, I am going to tell you about future trading. The name itself looks quite interesting, as there is the word ‘Future’ associated with it. In this type of trading, as the name suggests people predict about future. Basically, future & options are derivatives. Derivatives are nothing but a type of financial instrument. Simply put, F&O is an agreement between two parties that mutually agree to buy/sell a fixed quantity of a product on an agreed future date. Read more
Weight Loss in an Easier Way

I have always found people with a few extra pounds(’fat’ is an offensive term and I never liked it) very cute and adorable. But, the truth is that everyone wants to stay in shape and have a well toned body, if not the lean mean look. Browse websites, surf the internet or watch any home shopping network program on TV, you’ll find all of them selling all kinds of fad diets, diet pills, belts or other weird gadgets claiming to get you back in shape in a few week, days and for some, even hours !!! Their effectiveness has always been beyond my comprehension. They might be effective, but such a fast paced weight loss may induce loss of muscle or may affect your heart and other organs too. So, my suggestion would be, not to try a miracle, rather follow a regime that is healthier and sustainable. I think, its good to settle for the long run. Read more

Chetan Bhagat’s Book Launch and TweetSMS by Bharti-Airtel

Whenever I get connected to the internet, the homepage of my ISP pops up. Today, I saw the images of Chetan Bhagat and Vidya Balan from the Mumbai launch function of his new book ‘2 States:The story of my marriage.’ Though, I found it a little strange and just couldn’t figure out the connection between Bhagat and Balan or Balan and the book. Then I just brushed of all these ideas realizing that neither am I from a film magazine nor do I belong to those TV news channels(read cheap gossip and entertainment). Read more
