Pack goodness into your holidays

A few easy-to-do things that you can keep in your mind and follow for a goodness-filled break.

For many of us, the day progresses something like this: get up and realise that we have just about enough time left to bathe and rush to office; reach office after a fierce battle with the crowd and traffic; work like there would be no tomorrow and come back home half dead. And, in the middle of all this, just mindlessly hog on to anything bearing the closest resemblance to food.

No. There is no concept of wellbeing left in our lives. Let alone doing proper exercise, we don’t even consider deep breathing for five minutes in the day. A few people who have shelled out money for gymming, do, at times, manage to run on the treadmill and think that they have done the needful. And yes, we don’t even have the time to think where we are headed towards, in terms of health and happiness. 

So, this is the kind of life that we are leading and when we feel we are really bottled up with pressure and stress, we plan a holiday. Considering our sorry state of being, for once, we need to think differently about our holidays. How about a place which would pack both fun and wellness into itself? Ok, if you are not planning to go about it in full swing, how about getting these few important things right while you are on a break:

1. Try and stay at a hotel or a guesthouse which either has a wellness or recreation centre or is close to one. Get up in the morning for a yoga session, swim or play a game of badminton. Believe me, it will make you feel happier than you can think.
2. Walk as much as you can. Considering that you would plan a trip to a prettier, cleaner place than your resident town, a walk will be fun.
3. Go for the region’s authentic cuisine, which generally has some goodness. No KFC or Mc Donald’s, or any other thing equally bad.


4. It is completely okay if your idea of holidaying is to get drunk and make merry. Just balance it out with some physical activity, proper food and good conversations. How about renting a bicycle for a ride around the town, if possible?
5. Stay happy. Don’t carry your laptop and work along with you. Enjoy the simple pleasures of life like looking at the star-studded night sky, gazing into the limitless expanse of the sea, smelling the flowers, or getting up in the morning to the sounds of the birds chirping. It will all do good.

5 Reasons Why US Open Champ Serena Williams Is The Sexiest Babe On The Tennis Block!

US Open 2014 champion Serena Williams is one of the top ranked Tennis star around. The American, who has won 18 Grand Slam titles, is also known to have a ‘fashion sense’ off the court as well.

After a triumphant 2014, Serena is currently sitting atop of the WTA rankings and with her powerful serve and on-court backhand, the former is looking to dominate the tennis scene for years to come. But even though with her ‘hardcore tennis’, Serena is known to be a ‘babe’ off it!

Appearing in many top brand ads and photo-shoots, the 33-year old carries a svelte figure that sends many tongues wagging. So what makes her so ‘hot and sexy’? If you care to know, well, we have listed down 5 reasons that make her the ‘oomph’ chick of the tennis court:

2 – Rivalries and off-the court ‘tamasha’
Serena Williams is one hot headed woman and her tempers are known to flare, if she doesn’t get her wish. In the 2009 US Open semi-final, the 33-year old screamed at a line umpire with cussing words. Moreover, two years later in the same tournament, Serena was seen swearing at the line umpire after the latter found her violating the tennis rules. Her off-court rivalry with Maria Sharapova is a big ‘hit’ amongst the tennis faithful.

3 – Chiselled and powerful body
Serena’s superb serve matched that with a forehand winner is down to her svelte figure and those muscular biceps. In the women’s arena, Serena is known to carry one of the ‘strongest’ body shape a woman can ever have. Try matching that, Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova!

And we lest forget that, Serena hails from the land of Hollywood. Yes that’s right, the land of Bruce Willis to Channing Tatum. Serena’s ‘friends zone’ include Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Kelly Rowland.

Sharing Sexual Secrets With Friends Can Lead To This! Are You Ready?

Friends are our second family after our real family!

The best buddies, the partners in crime, the emotional pillow to snuggle on in times of need and what not! However, only a few friendships survive the test of time and most wither away due to circumstances, personal priorities and unavoidable situations of life.

Can you trust them?

Yes you can, but for how long and how many of them, no one can say! That is why even in friendships, there should be a line drawn when it comes to sharing your intimate details. These details, especially of a sexual nature may initially sound fun or totally harmless, but in the long run they might turn to be your worst nightmares.

                          

Let me explain, in detail, the pitfalls of sharing your sexual secrets with your friends:

1) You Become An Easy Gossip Target

Unless it is your very close friend or buddy, and sometimes not even them, sharing your sexual life is only going to become part of the gossip machine! Sex is something that is still taboo in our country and for good or bad, it is still one of the most talked about things even if in hush-hush tones. To avoid being the centre of attraction for what you did inside a closed room, it is better to leave it there only!

2) You Are Providing Object Of Fun Served On The Plate

Not all your friends are going to help you with suggestions about how to improve your sex-life or solve your sex-related issues, but for sure it is going to be a topic of immense interest for them. No wonder, you’ll soon be an object of fun behind your back for people in your circle and even outside! You never know, they would start sharing dirty jokes with your name on them.

3) Ridiculed For Something That The Whole World Does

Opening about your sexual activities also makes you an easy target of fun and ridicule. Not only it does a character assassination, it also paints a biased and distorted image of you in front of the whole world. Sex, instead of becoming an act of pleasure, becomes a torture when you’re being targeted for something that everyone does, but hardly share!

4) Blackmail Comes Easy Your Way

This is true especially for girls who trust their friends way too much by sharing intimate and explicit details about their sex life, just to boast about it or to get an opinion. Such friends might take advantage by blackmailing about leaking that information or any texts or pictures that you may have shared. The social stigma associated with it is very hard to ignore or to live with given how the society functions in our country. It may be an orthodox way of thinking, but one can’t change the thinking of an entire society overnight, so it is better to mend your own ways!

5) Job Hazards

Your friends at work or otherwise who are privy to such intimate details, might use is against you. Also, if employers come to know of this, it can adversely affect your job, as the employers may not trust you with keeping secrets. Also, with the advancement in technology, whatever you text or share online, will always remain available for those trying to access it! Nothing is deleted permanently, ever!

6) Your Social Standing Is Affected Adversly

Societal pressures can make it difficult not only for you, but also for your family as well. Unless you and your entire family is immune to such things, and that is a big exception, such secrets coming out in public can literally cause a lot of embarrassment and have an impact on your relations in and out of the family.

Having sex related discussions are harmless, but when it comes to sharing your sex-life, it is advisable to be very careful!

Why to spoil the fun and make sex difficult?

Keep it to yourself and your partner!
