Menswear in India has a long and colourful history, both in terms of aesthetics and trends. With the festive season just around the corner, most of us have started looking for ways to amp up our style and get ourselves a dope looking kurta-set, or an intricately made bandhgala. But there’s a catch. © MensXP This year, the festivities will be different. Only a lucky few among us will get the opportunity to dress up in a swanky new kurta, or a classy bandhgala suit, and step out to party. Does that mean, that those of us, who wisely choose to stay indoors, can’t dress up? Of course not! © MensXP To that effect, the editorial team at MensXP has picked out some of the coolest and trendsetting printed menswear options that will help men stand out as bona fide maestros of style. __ECOMLOOKS__1780__ __ECOMLOOKS__1781__ __ECOMLOOKS__1782__ __ECOMLOOKS__1783__ __ECOMLOOKS__1784__ View the full article

Princess Anne irked by Prince William and Harry, takes a subtle dig at them

Business tycoon and philanthropist Anand Mahindra is a bit of a celebrity on Twitter - across his ten-odd years of tweeting, heâs made us laugh, inspired us and even helped us out with our music playlists. Unfortunately, thereâs just no pleasing some people. It all started when Mahindra posted a tweet sharing a few positive markers in Indiaâs recently-troubled economy. Recent statistics have shown a mild upward trend in Indiaâs manufacturing sector - something that Mahindra wished to highlight and share with millions of Indians anxious about the countryâs fiscal futures. Iâm often accused of being stupidly optimistic. If this trend continues then perhaps the adjective âstupidâ will be discarded... https://t.co/nD10q8VETk â anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) January 24, 2020 A Twitter user by the name of âAaravâ promptly disagreed, however. Yes , you are stupid . India cud nt yet arrange for electricity, water, roads and law and order and now Modi & company has made sure that we stay in a turmoil for another 42 months and to add to it Rahul Gandhi , the dumb is leading the opposition â Aarav (@Aarav93555583) January 24, 2020 All fair points, no doubt - several Indians agree with Aaravâs opinions, but simply calling Mahindra âstupidâ without delivering a particularly constructive reply isnât what weâd call a smart course of action. Fortunately, Mahindra quickly showed him how itâs done. Your pessimism is quite comprehensive. Is there ANYTHING you are optimistic about? Or have you exiled yourself to a remote cave in the mountains? Let me know if I can get Swiggy to send you a food package! https://t.co/R43n19RdIj â anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) January 24, 2020 Itâs a pretty clear message from the CEO - talk shit, get hit. The tweet gained close to 15k likes and over 2k retweets since it was posted, and Indian tweeters couldnât get enough of it. Several of his fans and followers enjoyed his sarcastic, nonchalant reply: Sir you are way too humble and cool !! The person whom you responded to has NO FOLLOWERS! He was highly discourteous to you, a corporate honcho !! Yet you reverted so politely! Wow sir! You amaze and constantly inspire me. â Vidya Ganesh (@VidyaG88) January 24, 2020 pic.twitter.com/974jCnXIGl â Gurjit Bal (@iudcn) January 24, 2020 Some felt that his reply was out of turn, however: @anandmahindra with due respects 2 you, you may have brushed aside tweet of the gentlmen but deep down in yr heart I m sure u r aware of extent 2 which Indian Society has become polarized & if NRC comes anyone who has an iota of intellect knows there is nothing 2b optimistic â dilip shahani (@dilipshahani) January 24, 2020Sh. Anand Sir: I am sure you donât have such staff for cleaning of vehicle. Freedom of speech doesnât mean you say anything to anyone. After reading such reply for a successful man I must say India is far behind in giving right education. â  Sunil Chouhan  (@sunilc65) January 24, 2020A fair point was raised by user âRandominionâ, who brought up Mahindraâs peer, Rahul Bajaj. Sh. Anand Sir: I am sure you donât have such staff for cleaning of vehicle. Freedom of speech doesnât mean you say anything to anyone. After reading such reply for a successful man I must say India is far behind in giving right education. â  Sunil Chouhan  (@sunilc65) January 24, 2020 Bajaj has recently gone on record criticising the state of Indiaâs government and further explaining how industrialists are shying away from being openly critical of its policies - which is something Mahindra may be guilty of here, if viewed from a well, pessimistic angle. The auto industry has suffered major losses through 2019, with over 2 lakh jobs being snapped out of existence in just a few months - a major blow to a country thatâs reeling from high unemployment rates. Itâs all water under the bridge for Mahindra, though. With his recent, wildly popular XUV 300 model earning a 5-Star NCAP rating and becoming the safest car ever made by an Indian manufacturer, we canât blame him for wanting to be a bit more positive - even for a single tweet.

In what has been a tale of two halves, Rohit Sharma's cricketing journey has been full of ups and downs. Despite being tipped as one the upcoming talents in the country, the Mumbai batsman initially struggled to get going when he was roped in as a middle-order batsman. But, his ascension to the opening slot didn't just give a second wind to his career, but eventually gave India an irreplaceable batsman at the top. Since then, there has been no turning back for the rampant Indian opener. From carrying the baton for his side in crunch matches, taking some of the best bowling attacks to the cleaners to bulldozing his way to envious batting records, the 32-year-old, over the years, has undeniably established himself as one of the best in the business. And, the year 2019 appears to be no different. © Twitter/@BCCI With nine hundreds - including a Test double, eight half-centuries, 201 fours and 66 sixes, the 32-year-old is bossing international cricket this year. And, after scoring a blistering 43-ball 85 against Bangladesh in Rajkot, he is right on top of the leading run-scorers' list for the year. Given the repertoire of his strokes, the right-hander is more than capable of turning the game on its head - something that was thoroughly visible during his carnage at the Saurashtra Cricket Association stadium. Under pressure from their defeat in Delhi, the Indian captain led from the front to stitch a 118-run opening partnership with Shikhar Dhawan (31). The Mumbai batsman hammered the Bangladeshi bowlers all around the park, smashing six fours and as many sixes during his blazing knock that came at strike-rate of over 197. In fact, such was the confidence level of Rohit that he even contemplated the idea of hitting off-spinner Mosaddek Hossain for six sixes in an over before eventually settling for three. MUST WATCH: Chahal TV with the Hitman! ð From @ImRo45's 100th T20I to his 'secret' recipe to those monster sixes, this fun segment of Chahal TV has all the answers! ð @yuzi_chahal - by @28anand Full Video here ðð https://t.co/tPJpO7yDMo pic.twitter.com/HgEZXGgroF — BCCI (@BCCI) November 8, 2019 "That's what I tried, I wanted to go for six in a row but when I missed the fourth one I decided to go for singles. I knew that an off-spinner was bowling, and the wet ball was not going to turn, so my plan was to stand still and hit the ball without stepping out," Sharma told Yuzvendra Chahal on bcci.tv after the game. With 62 runs required from 11 overs, Rohit had Hossain ducking for cover in the 10th over. The Indian opener dispatched the Bangladesh off-spinner's first delivery for a six over deep midwicket. Then, another flat delivery was sent deep over the long-on fence for another maximum. The third delivery, another short of a length ball, got similar treatment as Rohit rocked back in the crease before heaving it over long-on to make it three sixes in a row. © Twitter/@BCCI However, couldn't quite connect with the fourth, a fuller delivery, and only got an edge, breaking the sequence. After 21 runs off the over, India got to their target of 154 with eight wickets in hand and 26 balls remaining. During his match-winning innings, Rohit's ability to hit sixes with relative ease was quite noticeable. For someone who doesn't boast of a typically muscular frame, Rohit has developed a knack for hitting sixes. So how does he do it, you'd ask? Here's the answer. "You don't need just big muscles or power to hit sixes. You need timing and you need to hit it from the middle, your head should be still, your body needs to be in the right position. When you take care of these things on a good wicket, you will be able to hit sixes," Rohit explained to Chahal. © Twitter/@BCCI With 2019 almost coming to an end, Rohit is eager to continue his fine form and finish his outstanding year on a high. "It's been a very good so far, just want to finish it off on a great note. "We've got a few games coming up, one against Bangladesh and then there's a whole West Indies series coming up as well. So yes, I'm quite looking forward to that, not to forget the two Test matches (against Bangladesh)," he said at the post-match presentation. Following a tame loss in the first match, the Rohit Sharma-led India produced a strong batting show to script a convincing eight-wicket win. After restricting the visitors to 153/6, Rohit (85), with adequate support from Dhawan (31) and Shreyas Iyer (24), helped the hosts in levelling the three-match series 1-1. Eyeing a series win, India and Bangladesh will now lock horns in the third and final T20I at the Vidarbha Cricket Association stadium in Nagpur on 10th November. View the full article

Relationships are great. Until they aren't! Sometimes, even the ideal relationships start becoming toxic. Out of nowhere, you start feeling that you aren't happy anymore and it might be best to part ways. © Warner Brothers At times, it's true. When you spend a fair amount of time with your partner and get to know them better, you realise that they aren't the person what you are looking for. In that case, you can consider parting ways. But at times, the problems arise because of petty reasons which are quite normal and can be dealt with easily. Following are three such subtle sighs which will tell you that your relationship is turning toxic and you should work on it to avoid a bad breakup: 1. Unnecessary Fights Every couple fights, this isn't anything to worry about. But if your fights become regular; and when you are with your partner if most of your time goes arguing over unnecessary things, then there is something to worry about. You should find out the actual reasons for your fights. Communication is the key here. Talk to your partner; figure out what is it that you want from each other and then work on it. The whole drama can be avoided with just one healthy conversation. 2. Less Physical Intimacy When you two have lived together for a long time, then it's completely natural to not get intimate as much as you did at the start of your relationship. Daily *** does turn into twice or thrice a week when you have lived together long enough. But if it has become non-existent, then it is a matter to worry about. You need to figure out the cause of it. © Dharma Productions It could be the mundanity, or maybe the emotional distance between you two. If it's the first one, time to spice things up and go '50 Shades of Grey'. But if it's the latter, you should take a deep look into your relationship. See what is driving you away from each other and then deal with the problem. 3. Unavailability & Ignorance If you feel like your partner is ignoring you, then it's a serious issue. It's completely okay to have personal space and some 'me-time', but if the interactions and communication are seizing to exist, then it means the relationship is going on the wrong road. And there's definitely a reason behind the growing distance. © Warner Brothers There is a good chance that your partner is no longer interested in you and that's why ignoring you. In this situation, the best you can do is calmly talk to them and tell them to share whatever is on their mind. And accordingly, you can work things out. It's not easy to find the right partner. If you think you have found one, work hard on your relationship to make it work. You never know if you'll get it again or not!

How To Read A Girl's Mind & Catch Those Subtle Hints She Drops Your Way
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Reading a girl is the most challenging thing you can ever do, but once you read her well and understand the subtle hints she drops your way, it'll become a lot easier for you to decipher how and what she thinks. © UTV Motion Pictures Reading a girl can be tough because there are numerous layers of intricacies you have to unfold, before you really get to what she's thinking most times, but if you evade these hints and signs she's giving out, more often than not you miss out on a lot (even at a probable chance of dating her). No, don't get me wrong, she's not that complicated. She's just apprehensive most times to be read out loud by someone, so she hides beneath layers of guesswork. But if you can crack the code of reading her the right way, she will actually fall for you instead, because you've achieved the impossible! You've actually read her right! Here are a few ways to read the girl you like and eventually end up possibly dating her: (1) Silence Is Usually Unusual If she's silent around you, then it's sort of unusual because a girl who is into you will try and make conversation with you, no matter what. If she's silent, it could either mean she's upset over something related to you or she needs you to give her attention. Whatever it is, she's not going to be open about it, so ask her what the matter is upfront and she will come around eventually. (2) When She Says 'I Don't Want To Talk About It', It's Probably False Of course, it's false. Yes, girls like talking about what's bothering them, but she won't open up instantly. It's not because she's trying to act pricey but it takes a lot of courage for her to open up. And when she does, it's a smooth sail from there. So, if something is bothering her and she says she doesn't feel like talking about it, ask her a couple of times until she does want to talk about it. But don't make her uncomfortable or try and pry and force her to talk. Sit with her and be patient and she will open up. (3) She'll Always Have Her Eyes On You Not in a creepy or prying sort of way but if you two are ever in a conversation, she will always look into your eyes and speak. If you're just getting to know each other and are having an intimate conversation, follow her eyes and see where they're looking. If they're on you throughout, then she's quite into you. If she's looking at everything else but your eyes, then she's not really that into you or is genuinely uncomfortable talking to you. (4) She'll Laugh Even If It's Not Funny Yup, it's an inherent trait that women can't control. If she digs you and you crack one of your lame ass jokes, she'll still laugh like it's the funniest thing she's heard all day. That's a sure shot way of knowing she really likes you. Come on, even you know how bad your jokes can be, right? If she doesn't laugh and smirks instead, then you don't need to continue your jokes further, she's really not that deep into you! (5) She'll Make An Effort To Casually Touch You That, in no way, is inappropriate and quite common if the girl is into you. She will make efforts to touch you, by grazing your arms or your shoulder with her hands or even giving you a gentle nudge while in a conversation with you. She'll do this consciously to see if she can feel a spark between the two of you and obviously, to break the ice and tell you she's comfortable around you. So, if you do notice these subtle signs when you're with someone you're interested in, you've read her just right and it's a good cue for you to make a move on her. -
How To Master The Subtle Art Of Being A Fuckboi Without Being A Jerk
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
“So, do you think you are a fuckboi? “ “Yeah, I guess so.” “What makes you think that?” “Just… you know, I date girls and we like…hang out." I detected a hint of a smile through his beard as he said this. The beard made him look older than he really was and his oversized t-shirt hung loosely over his shoulders. There was nothing extraordinary about him, as he was a cardboard copy of the guys which in his fancy South Mumbai college. But then, these days you no longer need to stand out to date. You just need to be signed up on dating apps and know how to swipe using your finger. via GIPHY Looking at him, I wondered what had gotten into me to really go around the colleges in Mumbai and ask students about their opinions on dating. I suppose it was partly because I was curious to know how dating has changed since my college days. To be honest, I started thinking about all the women I had dated after the whole #metoo movement. The fact that there is a movement with a hashtag in its name says something about where we are truly living. But more about that some other time. When the disturbing details about one of my favourite Indian American TV stars' (Aziz Ansari) misbehaviour with a woman he was on a date with came out, I thought about all the women I had dated, and of one in particular. We were just friends in college but I always had a crush on her. We stayed in touch after college ended and I was excited when she agreed to meet me for dinner one day. Even though she told me that she had a boyfriend, I kissed her. when I was dropping her off. She was too surprised then to react and instead, just smiled. It was the last time we had any contact with each other. Even though I apologized to her, it wasn't until the Aziz Ansari scandal broke out that I thought about her again, and how she must have felt. Today, conversations are more out in the open than they were ever before, and dating has become a lot more casual. The idea and the very definition of romance have changed and the surge of dating apps has surely played a major role in that. via GIPHY And yet, men continue to behave in such a way that women are put off by the very idea of men. Hell, there is a word epitomized for such men--Fuckboi. Fuckboi, a word in the internet slang says a lot about a man...albeit nothing positive. Women don't swoon over fuckbois, they don't particularly entertain them and they definitely see through their bullshit. Scrolling through Twitter or Instagram, it is easy to find women sharing screenshots of chats with men whom they know are fuckbois. They have this unique and strange ability to turn any conversation into a string of cheesy unimpressive lines. Just like the conversation below. Women are simply calling out the bullshit which ranges from men sending the same message to multiple women (and all of them find each other on twitter and it goes viral!) to women calling out men by sharing screenshots of their chats and publicly shaming them. Fuckbois are...to rather not put it delicately, fucked. As I too hopped on the Tinder wagon, swiping women based on the flimsy criteria set by an app because of its design…I realized that I had more fun when I had no expectations at all from my date. I stopped thinking of dating as a game and started taking it as an experience. The best part is that it is up to you two entirely, to define that experience. It is either positive or negative; lasts an hour, a night or a week or even more. What matters is how that time is spent together. Look at it as that time of your life which will not come back, and in a lot of cases, not with the same person at all! Use this time to know the other person and where they have come from. via GIPHY And when you listen to her, a story emerges. A unique story which is very different from your own. Sometimes it will be fascinating and sometimes, it will be a sheer waste of time. But that's okay, it happens. Sometimes you will be able to relate to it, and sometimes you'll find your mind drifting away to dessert. You don't connect with every person you meet in your life, so why expect the same here? Take a keen interest in your date not only because *** is involved, but simply because the older you get...the fewer people you will come to know and the fewer perspectives you will know of. Also, a date which is interesting and fun will anyways have a higher chance of ending up in *** than a dull one. ;) Coming back to the bearded boy with the oversized t-shirt, he also felt that women who are on dating apps will at least put out with him at the end of the date and anything less than that was a rejection. We men do have a tendency to think from our ***** at times. Rather than doing that, ask her why she is there. Different women have different expectations and they vary from person to person. Just ask her. Some women are there because they are new to the city, or have recently broken up and have been pushed by their friend or are looking for some sort of connection in this lonely life. Even if she seems coy and hides her reason, it is okay. It is her secret to divulge when she is comfortable and maybe she is still sizing your intentions. via GIPHY I have met women who are committed but are simply looking for friends, to women who just want to take it casually and not be bothered by the burden of relationships. I have turned down those who have been looking for serious relationships, simply because I am not. Be honest about your intentions. The worst part is leading people on and ghosting them. You both may not be in the same space and not be looking for the same things either, which happens often. Besides, new women are joining these apps every day so it's not like you are out of options. Once I had matched with a woman but she didn't respond to my message. So I stalked her on Facebook and dropped her a message there. She did reply, but her response was not what I had hoped it would be. She was in fact creeped out that I had followed her online. Our bearded friend has also dropped messages on social media to women he has matched with and his response is a very casual “So what else do we do man?” Ah, we men are so helpless in the face of rejection. It's an endless stream of “heys” until women have to block these men. If you are this guy, and if you think that one day the girl will just answer you then you have been given the wrong idea of women. If she wants to go out with you, she will tell you. After all, you both have matched voluntarily. But there will be times when she won't respond at all. Do not go around following her social media accounts and dropping DMs in the hopes that she will answer you one day. via GIPHY It. Doesn't. Work. As for me, I simply apologized to her and told her I won't contact her again. It didn't matter though, she had already blocked me. She just didn't want to deal with another stalker. Dating has become much easier and it is even possible to meet women whom you would have never met before. Hell, I have even dated a bartender…and believe me, I am not the guy to chat up bartenders at all! But dating apps enable that, so men… Let's just be better fuckbois because we all know that *** is just one aspect of dating. via GIPHY Don't make it the most important one. -
I think we can all agree that people trolling Rahul Gandhi on Twitter is one of the best and most enjoyable things ever. But, he's also quite well-aware of it and that kind of takes away from the enjoyment, just a li'l bit. RaGa, or affectionately known as 'Pappu' on Twitter, is well aware of how much of a target he is for trolls and his attempts at trolling back are quite hilarious. Also, the word troll has been overused in these last couple of sentences, I'm sorry. © Twitter Sonia Gandhi underwent a surgery in the United States back in 2011 and now has to go for yearly check-ups. So Rahul, being a good son, is accompanying his mother for the check-up but he's also aware of the fact that anything and everything he does is overly scrutinized by people on Twitter, especially by BJP supporters. Will be out of India for a few days, accompanying Sonia ji to her annual medical check up. To my friends in the BJP social media troll army: don't get too worked up...I'll be back soon! — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) May 27, 2018 This disclaimer that Rahul tweeted about how he'll be back soon was because of the fact that this trip has reportedly put the allocation of ministries in Karnataka on hold, so basically just another piece of ammunition against Congress. BJP did reply to Rahul wishing well for Sonia Gandhi's health, but obviously no interaction between the two parties can be without a jibe. So they decided to remind Rahul that “women of Karnataka also await Cabinet formation so that the state Govt can start serving them”. And, obviously ended the tweet with a direct dig at him, saying that everyone wished for him to keep them entertained as well. We wish well for Sonia ji's health. Women of Karnataka also await Cabinet formation so that the state Govt can start serving them. Can you ensure Karnataka gets a working Govt before you leave? Everyone on social media hopes that you will keep us entertained from there too :-) https://t.co/doxO36Xva8 — BJP (@BJP4India) May 28, 2018 I would just like to say that I love how shady everyone is acting, and the subtle Twitter war is so hilarious to watch. Let's just hope the shade game stays strong and we get more stuff like this.

5 Subtle Signs That Tell If Your Loved One Is Going Through Depression
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Despite the fact that depression is quite common and recognisable in someone, it can sometimes masquerade as something else and leave one's behaviour questionable. The signs could be very subtle and if you know the person well enough, only then you'd be able to figure out the change, in their behaviour pattern. © Thinkstock/Getty Images Sometimes even though you're close to someone, it's difficult to figure out what the actual signs of depression are, unless you pay really close attention. And if you do figure they're depressed, don't waste a minute in getting them the right kind of help. Here are some 5 subtle, yet vital signs to watch out for, if your partner or anyone else is in depression. They Will Seek Solitude Depression usually brings about solitude and people who are going through depression, would usually want to be left alone. They will stop going out and will limit their social interactions to minimal. This is because along with everything else, one loses the will to be around people and be themselves. While depression acts like another entity altogether, taking over their beings, it doesn't allow one to be very social and people in depression slowly start to isolate themselves. © Thinkstock/Getty Images They Will Face A Lot Of Fatigue Depression is quite exhausting and it takes a great amount of energy to complete daily tasks. That's why most people facing depression will seldom get out of bed to complete daily tasks in hand. This is because depression is a difficult phenomena to cope with and once it has you in its grip, it makes every task seem like climbing a very steep hill. So if you see someone you're close to, who is always fatigued and tired, you'd know this is one of the prominent signs. © Thinkstock/Getty Images They Will Lack Motivation They will not be as motivated as they were, when they were in good health. If you see signs of tardiness in your partner, you will know that their will to do anything that motivates them, is lacking. A lot of people who are depressed also have trouble waking up in the morning as they feel bogged down with the depression and almost feel dysfunctional. You will see her lose her will to do many things that motivated her in the past. © Thinkstock/Getty Images They Will Not Be Sexually Active A dry spell might not be a part of the normal dynamic of the relationship, so when your partner starts to withdraw, it's not because she has lost interest in ***. It's because depression takes away any feeling towards being turned on or even being sexually attracted to your partner. The brain is the *** organ and if the brain is shutting functionality down, it will obviously hamper one's *** drive too. The neurotransmitters that communicate any sort of desire to the brain, are ineffective while the person is in depression, making them go through a dry spell. © Thinkstock/Getty Images They Will Not Care Much About Their Appearance They will slowly stop taking care of themselves and following a healthy routine. They will either put on a lot of weight or lose weight due to overeating or not eating at all. If she stops dressing up, wearing makeup and taking care of herself in general, that's one vital sign to look out for. © Thinkstock/Getty Images Depression can come in any shape and size and stay for as long as the victim will allow it to. The person going through depression may never know the signs or probably not recognise them, but if you know them close enough, you will see these changes well pronounced. So, if your partner or anyone else you know closely is going through these 5 vital signs, you know it's time to get them the appropriate help they need. -
Women Reveal: 8 Subtle Signs Your Girlfriend Wants To Break Up With You
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Women are anything but subtle, but when it comes to addressing issues in a relationship, they might not be as straightforward either. Sometimes, during a turbulent relationship, women may whine and beat around the bush, hoping that men would and could understand what exactly it is that is bothering them. And, more often than not, men fail to do that! We aren't talking about smaller issues related to subtlety that women show; like pretending to be interested in how many wickets you took in a game of cricket or not enjoying the company of your friends. We're talking about much bigger tell tale signs of women being unhappy in a relationship and wanting to end it. Here are some obscure indications that will help you prepare for when the end is near or when the 'talk' is going to happen from her end. Communication Will Cease This is the first sign your woman is unhappy in a relationship and wants to call it quits. Her texts, DM's, good morning messages or even late night calls will become a little less frequent than before. This is an obvious sign since women make more of an effort to keep in touch with men, on a daily basis, than men do. She might withdraw, not necessarily to break up but to also get space and to put things into perspective. "When my relationship went through a rough patch, I was lost. One thing that helped me clear my mind was ceasing communication and backing out and giving myself time to think. I first wanted to break away completely but the space helped me analyse things in the right way", quotes Naintara, a marketing professional. If you do realise that your woman has withdrawn her communication considerably, definitely have a chat with her. She's probably thinking twice about the relationship. © Thinkstock/Getty Images Your Plans With Her Take A Hike If she's still into you, as she was before, she will be super excited to make plans with you. But, if you see her dodging plans or cancelling last minute, a little too often, it's probably her indecisiveness about the relationship that's keeping her at bay. She may be cancelling plans, last minute, to act on some pending plans from before, so always give her the benefit of the doubt. But, if you see it happening often enough, there is definitely something she's trying to convey and obviously she can't convey it straight up. If you see her more excited about other plans and bailing out on you last minute, that's definitely a sure shot sign. It means she'd rather be doing something else, than spending time with you. © Thinkstock/Getty Images She Gives In Easily During A Fight Some women, when challenged with frequent friction in a relationship chose complacency over going with the flow. That's because they've probably lost interest in salvaging whatever it is that is diminishing. If your girlfriend walks out on you halfway during a fight, while shrugging her shoulders, you should know that something is wrong and she's beginning to not give a damn about the situation. "I withdraw significantly, especially when I am stuck in a crossfire and I don't want to be there. It's like a constant battle you're losing, so the best thing to do is to stop giving a f***", says Amalya, a food blogger. If you begin to notice her callous attitude about something you care about, then it's time to take a hint. © Thinkstock/Getty Images She Picks Fights Over Trivial Things While some women don't care much about winning at a fight anymore, because they're almost done with the relationship, some pick a fight over things that didn't bother them before. They mostly pick things which are trivial in nature. The reason they do this is because subconsciously, they're trying to either push you away or are just irritated with you almost every time they're around you. There could be numerous reasons as to why she's irritated or picking a fight. Either she's stressed out about something other than the relationship or she's genuinely unhappy and wants to call it off. "By the end of my last relationship I was so done that even his presence around me was infuriating and I always reacted with anger and picked fights even for the smallest things that he did wrong". says Damini, a graphic designer. © Thinkstock/Getty Images She Withdraws From Everything Not just you, she withdraws from every part of you and your life. She will stop picking up calls from your mom or even cancel plans with your sister last minute because she doesn't feel obliged to make any effort for them anymore, since she's in a bad space with you. If you notice these subtle signs of her withdrawing, try and nip the issue in the bud and have a conversation with her, straight up. © Thinkstock/Getty Images She Weeds You Out Of Her Social Circle Guess what, you're not invited to a bar hopping session with her and her friends anymore. Yes, this is a definite sign that she wants out when she doesn't even want you around in a social setting. She might also do this to try and wrangle some space from the relationship but if she does this one too many times, she's definitely going to call it off sooner than later. Notice if she's going for parties all by herself or with her gang or even attending weddings (something that you two did together) on her own, she's trying to tell you that she'd rather just do these things by herself. "I eventually realised I didn't want him around me or my social circle because we were just not getting along, but I didn't want to break his heart so I started avoiding him. i wish I'd just told him straight up" - Ananya, Journalist. © Thinkstock/Getty Images The *** Isn't The Same Anymore "Our chemistry in bed just fizzled out. Not from his side but mine. That's because I just didn't feel it anymore and there wasn't any passion left and I couldn't get myself to tell him I want out" - Tapsi, Researcher. Oh, the *** is definitely affected when the chemistry is slowly dying between a couple. If you see her losing interest in things that she loved doing in bed, you know something is up. It could be something as simple as not using her tongue anymore while she's kissing you or giving refusing to give you head every single time. You will also begin to notice small things like her not caring much for unshaved legs or bikini waxes, something she was very staunch about. Her sexy lingerie rests at the back of her drawer and she's in her everyday underpants, whenever she's with you. These little things about losing interest in the way she dresses or the small things she doesn't do or take care of anymore are the biggest signs of things coming to an end or her losing interest in the relationship. © Thinkstock/Getty Images The Chemistry Fades Away If she's ending the relationship, the first thing to crumble is the chemistry you two share. It could be something as significant as her not getting or remembering inside jokes you two shared once, right up to her actions being callous towards your behaviour. If the chemistry is dying, she's surely going to come up to you soon and talk about ending the relationship. If you let it slip away for far too long, there isn't really anything you can do about it later. © Thinkstock/Getty Images Sometimes it's hard to tell what women want or think but there are signs you will notice, which will probably give you answers to their subtle behaviour and callous attitude. If you catch these signs and notice things are changing, try and talk to her and figure out how you can salvage the relationship. Otherwise, all you can do is succumb to your fate and pray that your next girlfriend is a little more straightforward! -

Well, I am of the belief that a book should never be judged by its cover but people don't usually function like that. Especially when it comes to matters of the heart. See, we women aren't really vocal about what we approve or disapprove of. We act out on our instincts and validate our judgement based on what we see and perceive. I remember I went out with this guy once and I really liked him within the first three minutes! We didn't last long but his first impression was impeccable. He was kind, smart and attentive and I figured all this out in the first few minutes. Study reveals that it takes just three minutes for a woman to decide whether or not she's met Mr. Right on the first date itself. But giving you lads the benefit of the doubt, we also give you these extra two minutes to be abundantly sure if we're going to let you floor us for the rest of the night and maybe score a perfect date for ourselves. So, I am going to make it easier for you guys and tell you how you can figure out if the woman you're with on a date, is into you, within the first five minutes! Because 300 seconds is all you have! We Need To Like What We See © Thinkstock/Getty Images We're a bit shallow like that. If we're looking out to just date and hang, we usually want someone we can have oodles of temporary fun, someone who matches our style. So if the woman you're with compliments you on your hair, the clothes you're wearing or the cologne you have on, then you know for a fact that your presentation is on point! And yes, women do compliment. We Check You Out…Subtly! © Thinkstock/Getty Images Yes, women check men out too. Duh! But we do it more subtly because we like to contain our will to know what's beneath that great package! So you really have to catch her eye, when she's eyeing you every now and then. Apart from imagining what you'd look like shirtless; we also like to imagine the likes of your size and girth, ahem, true story. So if we're truly into you, within the first few minutes, we will surely be checking you out. We Laugh At The First Joke You Make © Thinkstock/Getty Images We know men have it rough and are under constant pressure to appease and be the best versions of themselves. So, humour comes naturally to them, especially on a date. So, even if your well attempted jokes aren't even remotely funny, we will definitely laugh, smirk or giggle a bit to make you feel at ease. Obviously because you're cute when you're nervous! We Ask Relevant Questions © Thinkstock/Getty Images If we really click with you within the first two minutes, we're surely asking you a question to know more about you. The guaranteed question that comes out mostly is 'so what exactly do you do?' or 'what's your favourite drink?'. There is some form of positive inquisitiveness from our end if we really like you. We Drop Some Form Of Personal Info © Thinkstock/Getty Images If we're into you then we'll give you enough fodder to pique your interest and let it remain that way. I mean, we're really simple like that! We'll talk about our state of mind and maybe gauge your expression to see what you think. You'll figure! We Might Display Nervousness © Thinkstock/Getty Images Well to be honest, if we think the guy is not up to the mark, we display a sense of ownership; no not on the guy but upon the evening, and probably try to get rid of him. But if he does strike our interest, no matter how confident and approaching we might seem, we'll still be a little nervous trying to maintain some amount of poise while trying to figure if you're good enough to intimidate us further. Take that as a good sign. We Love Touching © Thinkstock/Getty Images If you're a looker with a charming personality we will try to breach any physical boundary and establish some amount of comfort by subtly brushing our hands against your chest or shoulders, making it seem like we're enjoying your company. Because we genuinely are. Crack a joke or two; if we laugh and pat your shoulder after, you've had us at hello! There are other factors that determine a woman's interest in you in the first five minutes but if you notice a woman displaying even three out of these seven gestures, you know she's really into you. Don't ruin it from there!

Eerie model of Picasso's corpse in Spain makes subtle jab at capitalism
waqas dar posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
MALAGA, SPAIN: A life-size model of the corpse of Pablo Picasso lies on a plinth in his home city of Malaga, eyes closed, hands folded. The artist who transformed his subjects into Cubist abstractions is immortalised in an eerily realistic sculpture dressed in his trademark blue and white striped jersey and black rope-soled shoes. The work, made of silicon, resin, and fibreglass, with human hair and real clothes, was created by Spanish artist Eugenio Merino – best known for his hyper-realistic models of dictators, including Spain's Francisco Franco. Picasso lies in a small room in the city's branch of the Alliance Francaise cultural institute, the end point of a tour following the landmarks of his life. On the surface, it looks like another scheme to draw in tourists. But, say the organisers, the tour and sculpture are actually a critique of the way the city has used Picasso for commercial ends. "The project is meant to criticise mass tourism and the culture industry of the city as a brand, in which tourism goes against the needs of the residents and where reality is replaced by settings created for the visitors," said Los Interventores, a group of artists who commissioned the exhibit. Their Picasso tour passes by the church where he was baptised, his school and the bull-ring, before ending abruptly with his body, laid out near a marble gravestone that reads in gold lettering: 'Here lies our good friend Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)'.
