interesting huh?? Well, this is something that has been tried by certain couples and what they have to say about it is awesome, these tips can make your love enhance without your lovey-dovey money going away from you. Isn’t that great, no matter if want to make up for something or have to make him feel special, don’t bother about the expenditure,

as there are numerous things which you can try out to make your loved one wander in that land of all-embracing love:

Cook a special cuisine for your beloved:Nothing can be better than cooking food for the person you are in love with. Aww come on, this is not something you can’t try, and in fact it is super fun. Cook something that your partner really craves for, and invite him over for a special lunch or dinner; imagine how romantic it would be. If for some reasons you guys have had strife, then give him or her surprise by preparing something that is lip smacking and dash down to his or her place. This is a perfect way to express your love, that too spending much money on gifts, greetings, or any other stuff, what do you say?

Treasure stalk:This is another thing which may interest your beloved to fall in love with you again and this time massively, how? Let’s see, what this particular Treasure Hunt means is, that you spread over or rather hide, small things prepared by you like letters, poems, songs or pictures or anything else, at different places and let your partner hunt for that non measurable treasure of love. This is also a perfect game sort of a thing which you can try out on Valentine’s or any other day you feel that there is a need to boost up that passion in your love.

Demonstrate your Romantic Side:It might sound a little creepy or funny to certain people who do not like to show how much love they hold inside their heart. Well, if you are one of them, then it is time to buckle up and get some passion in

your relationship. Hugs and Kisses does not show that you really are in love, unless an ingredient of an admiration is added in it, go tell your beloved today, how good he looks, talk about all the positives, go for a walk and knee down in front of him or her, make them feel amazing about themselves, that’s true romance..!!

It is in Giving that you shall receive:Many self help books talk about this fantastic phrase, which means, that the more you give out will be responsible for congruent things to come to you. Does that ring the bell?? The more you give out, which means the more you give love and express it, the more it will keep your relationship get stronger day by day.

Do not hide your feelings:This is a complete NO NO, for a happy relationship, if you are in love with someone express it, let them know how you feel. The more you lock it up inside, the more things will keep tightening up, let it loose, set yourself free from everything then just go for it, let your beloved know how you feel about him or her and then see the magic..!

‘Milkha Singh’- for some the name evokes a faint memory from the pages of history. All that is most remembered is that Milkha Singh, hailed as the Flying Sikh, was a famous athlete, who infamously lost the penultimate race of his Life. “The one who lost the 400 meters finals at the Rome Olympics” is an involuntary response when the name Milkha Singh is men-tioned.

The Film attempts to understand a catastrophic loss that was deemed a sure victory and explores through the darkness of disgrace; Milkha’s redemption,the redemption and catharsis that come when he confronts his past.

Milkha, ironically finds himself in a place wherein he had lost his all;Pakistan: a place where he witnessed the bloody massacre of his entire family. The demons hidden in some dark corner of his consciousness come alive.

This iridescent tale winds through the plagues of a bloody civil war, a lost childhood, home-lessness and petty crime to victories hard won and easily lost. It draws an intricate image of human trials, setbacks and fate leveraged against the sheer power of will. He evocatively illustrates that true victory lies in racing with one’s troubles and not in running away from them.

Milkha flies, falls and rises, bruising his soul but not his will to survive.

Milkha Singh the world champion in 400 meters lost the most important race of his life- the 1960 Rome Olympics but won in LIFE.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag will see Milkha fly, fall and rise, bruise his soul but not his will to survive. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag releases worldwide on 12th July 2013

Tragic deaths in bollywood is not something that has not been a bit of gossip or discussion these days, there were many talented actresses who left the industry, not that time snatched them away,

but it was their decision to quit. The question is what made them take such a devastating step, what was it that made them give up and feel defeated? The whole world has lots to talk about the tragic

deaths of various bollywood actresses, but who really has even tried to understand what was it that made them take away their own lives? The mystery of these deaths is still unrevealed, but these are the people who will always remain in the heart of every person associated with Bollywood, and will

be always remembered:

Jiah Khan was laid to rest June 2, 2013, in the presence of her inconsolable family, her relatives and colleagues. It was really sad to know that like many other bollywood actresses, she also chose to end her, and the reason told by her mother and other family members is, that she was really heart broken by her unsettled career in the industry, in fact she did try to kill herself last year, that’s what her mother told the media. Though, Sooraj Pancholi, son of famous Bollywood Actor, Aditya Pancholi was also in the controversy of this incident, as Sooraj and Jiah were in a relationship for quite some time. However, according to the statement of Jiah’s mother, Sooraj does not seem to be responsible for this anywhere. According to the recent updates till now, Jiah’s failing career in the film industry, was the reason for her to end up her life.

Divya Bharti, a well known actress who lost her life at the age of 19, passed away an incident that occurred at her flat, but, till date nobody exactly know what was the reason of her falling down from the building she used to stay in. Certain people say and believe that she was overly drunk, and slipped down from the terrace, is that really true? Nobody knows the reality; it’s all in dark till date. Divya, when passed away, was doing really well in her career, she was casted in many movies and was always appreciated by people for her immensely great work.

Another well known and extremely gorgeous also met a tragic end, she did not die a normal, and her death is also a mystery to the film industry. Parveen Bobby, appeared in the movie “Aashirvaad”, was the last movie she gave her appearance in, and then went away from the bollywood industry. The only times she came into limelight was, when her affair was discussed, she was so upset about the whole picture that she even stopped attending any of the film industry events or parties. And then, on 20th of January 2005, she was found hanging in her own apartment located in Juhu.

These are not the only actresses who left the industry in a ruinous manner, there are many more in this list. This was and is a big loss to the industry and will always be missed by people associated with this diligence.

YouTube RemoteIt’s become common practice to have a PC hooked up to the ol’ (flat panel) tube. However, web sites are often quite

difficult to navigate when you’re sitting so far away from the text. Google knows this and has released YouTube Remote.Install it, pair it with whatever PC you’re

However, you can also see where and what your friends are drinking and then go stalk them, or see who’s drinking what nearby, so that you can awkwardly approach strangers and attempt a conversation over your common interest in cherry lambics.

Do’s &Don’ts In OnlineShopping

Online shopping is something that is very common these days, not every person has the time to visit to numerous markets, as the work schedule and in fact the busy life style keeps people really busy and hence they are left with almost no time for shopping. There are many websites these days which provide great deals on some of the astounding stuff which is available for the sale online.

Here are some safe online shopping tips which can make your online shopping experience relish able:

Page 39: Indian mirror magazine 1

Use sites that are familiar to you. You’re safer if you stick to sites you know. If you’re not familiar with a site, make sure that the site has a privacy policy and information about the site’s security measures.

Know if the site is secure. There are two quick and easy things to look for when shopping a site. First, does the URL start with HTTPS (instead of HTTP)? And second, is there a “lock” icon on the status bar that shows that you are on a secured website?

Pay with credit. When it comes time to pay for that new gadget/shirt/toy, use credit instead of debit. Many credit cards offer fraud protection that debit doesn’t. A disposable card or gift card is even better, because the funds are limited to a specific

amount.

Be the master of your own information. Storing your information on a trusted site sure does make things easier when you come back to buy again. If you read the news, however, you’ll see that even secure sites can occasionally fall prey to hackers. Also, there’s no need for a shopping site to know your birthday, your ID number, etc. That information, along with your credit card number, is ID-heaven to a thief. Keep your personal information, well, personal.

Don’t Believe Everything You Read. Cyber-criminals may try to lure you to their site by offering fantastic deals or unbelievably great prices. “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is a fake site or some type of scam,”. It advices is to stick with well-

known companies, or research a lesser-known site through google or other search engines.Use a super strong password. If your shopping

password is 1234, you’re vulnerable to being hacked. Use a phrase with numbers and special characters. For example, “Ireadthedenblog2” is a strong password.

Shop at home. Don’t use public computers to enter personal information.

Check your statements. It’s a good idea to do this monthly. Make sure the charges on your credit cards went to pay for things that you got to enjoy — not someone else.
