Raise your hands if you’re one among those who dread over writing emails to your bosses, colleagues, clients, etc. What does a professional job expect of you? To be professional, of course! (pun intended) Okay, on a serious note, at work you cannot just be good at the work you’re hired for; you’re expected to learn and communicate professionally too. We’re hinting at the basic politeness that’s expected of a business email here. And we know, it’s a tough thing to do especially when you’re frustrated and you have to write a polite email stuffed with polite phrases by keeping a cool façade.

If it was a phone call with a client, it would’ve been a different thing. But while communicating through emails, it’s a gamble to interpret the mood of the person who has mailed you as it’s a lot harder to judge. The email might be having polite words in it, and they can be sarcastic too, who knows, right?

Don’t worry; we’ve got your back (like always) with this hilarious set of emails and a guide to their true meanings. And if you have been receiving emails with phrases like “hope this assists you” or “sorry for the delay” from your business folks, then read along for you’ll know that the translation of these phrases isn’t really a friendly one.

#1

What is written: “Please advise…”

What it means: “Mera dimag work nahi kar raha”

When you receive an email with the phrase “please advise…” we usually think of it as the other person seeking our expertise regarding an issue he’s stuck with and is trying to solve.

The hidden meaning of this phrase though could be that the sender of the email is clearly frustrated and their brains have psyched out to an extent that they’ve stopped working temporarily. And if you could advise them about what they need to do, they’ll happily do it and get done with the work.

#2

What is written: “To put it more simply…”

What it means: “I know you are stupid”

If you’re thinking that your business contact is trying to explain to you the work that needs to be done in simple terms. You’re wrong! He’s telling you in a simpler manner maybe because he thinks you’re stupid and wouldn’t understand the matter otherwise.

#3

What is written: “Hope this helps”

What it means: “Disturb karna band kar”

When you’ve got “Hope this helps,” we think of it like the sender is showing us some extra love by giving us some help even before we ask for it. The hidden meaning to it, however, is rather savage — the sender is trying to just suggest everything to you so that you don’t disturb him or her again with any further queries.

#4

What is written: “I see your point”

What it means: “You can put forth your opinions, but I’mma ignore it anyways”

This can be considered to be the height of being passive-aggressive with words! This phrase, “I see your point” might sound like the sender is trying to be sympathetic towards your inquiries. But, in reality, he’s just trying to say, “Talk whatever you want, I’m not listening.” The sender is plainly ignoring you.

#5

What is written: “PFA”

What it means: “Timepass karne ke liye time nahi hai. Direct attachment dekh le.”

You must have received emails with no body at all. All it read is PFA (please find attached) and then there’s some document attached. Why do you think there’s no “Hi” or “Hello” in them? It is because the sender just doesn’t want to waste time doing the formalities of greeting you. The sender’s main agenda is to make sure you receive the document via mail, and it’s done!

#6

What is written: “Let me clarify”

What it means: “You idiot, you completely misunderstood my point”

We call it the clarification conflict! If you find this in your email, you might as well understand that you’ve miffed your sender with your queries. The sender of this email is clearly not impressed with you.

#7

What is written: “Thank you for bringing this up to my notice”

What it means: “Zyada over-smart kaiko ban raha hai”

This phrase could be a curse, trust us! The sender is basically trying to tell you that because of you he/she needs to redo the work. Had you shut up, the work would have been done and dusted already.

Passive-aggressive meanings of messages sure are fun to read, isn’t it? Who could think that polite emails might have a hidden savage meaning to them? So, the next time you happen to be on the receiving end of extremely polite emails and feel good about them. Think again, they might mean something else in real. Have you ever felt polite emails to be sarcastic? Let us know in the comments section below.

Kareena Kapoor is undoubtedly one of the favorite Bollywood actresses of all time. Her charming smile and killer eyes can capture anyone’s gaze. But most importantly, her talent to bring the character that she’s portraying on the screen into life is impeccable. Also, her versatility amazes us with every movie. The talkative girl in Jab We Met, the Diva in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, the nerdy medical student in 3 Idiots, and the actress Mahi in Heroine are all characters we can never forget. Throughout her career, she has done many movies that are excellent even if some of them may have disappointed us.

And in these amazing movies, we’ve seen some of the best characters like Geet, Piya, Poo, and Mahi — all of them nailed perfectly by Bebo. In this article, we bring you some of the best and most memorable dialogues that Kareena has given us. If you’re a Bebo fan, you’re in for an amazing ride! So, what are we waiting for? Christmas? *wink*

1. “Main Apni Favorite Hoon” – Jab We Met

via GIPHY

Geet from Jab We Met taught us to love ourselves and never let the child inside us die. She’s bold, fun, and neurotically impulsive! We can’t help but fall in love with Geet and her endless chatter. When Aditya asks Geet if she likes herself a lot, Geet shoots the dialogue “Main apni favorite hoon.” And we hope each one of us will find it in ourselves to repeat what she said.

2. “Koi Doubt Mat Rakhna…Sikhni Hoon Main Bhatinda Ki” – Jab We Met

via GIPHY

Now that you’ve read the soft-hearted dialogue of Geet, here is one that can make you LOL. If you’ve watched the movie, you would definitely remember this scene in which Kareena gets all worked up and screams at Shahid because she misses her train. Standing on the peak of realistic acting, Bebo’s face becomes awfully pink by the time she’s done with this scene. And we totally love her dedication to portraying Geet.

3. “Aap Jo Yeh Bol Rahe He, Iske Paise Charge Karte Hai Ya Yein Muft Ka Gyan Hai?” – Jab We Met

via GIPHY

When Geet gets stranded on a poorly crowded railway station, every man in the vicinity including the station master himself adds to her discomfort. This scene perfectly pictures one of the worst nightmares of every girl in the world (especially in India). However, instead of crying or exposing her inner fear, Geet decides to stand bold and be humorous to keep danger away. When the station master showers his advice on her about the things that can happen to a lone girl at a railway station at mid night, Geet sarcastically asks him if he’s charging for his advice.

4. “Tumhe Koi Haq Nahi Banta Ki Tum Itni Khubsoorat Lago” – Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

via GIPHY

Remember the long, introductory scene of Pooja a.ka. Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham? The 1983 song, “It’s raining men” by The Weather Girls was played in the background as the Diva gets ready for her day. Even though Karan Johar had to face a legal suit for the use of this song without prior permission, it was totally worth it. Once Poo is done with her beauty rituals, dressing, and makeup, she looks into the mirror and asks herself how dare she look that beautiful and she had no right to look this good! Come on people! Let’s admit that Poo is the ultimate Bollywood Diva of all time.

5. “Fat-Free………….?” – Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

via GIPHY

Of course, Poo doesn’t eat Ghee-dripping parathas! She comes to the dining table and checks if there’s anything fat-free for her to eat, like many of us these days do, right?

6. “Kaun Hai Yeh? Jisne Dobara Mudkar Mujhe Nahi Dekha?” – Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

via GIPHY

Poo is one of the most popular girls in college with whom guys are dying to go to prom. But when the new kid on the block Rohan, the character played by Hritik Roshan drives in, he doesn’t care how good-looking and sassy Poo is. Out of wonder, she thinks about the guy who didn’t turn back and look at her twice.

7. “Tum Gujarati Log Itne Cute Hote Ho … Par Tum Log Ka Khana Itna Khatarnak Kyun Hota Hai … Dhokla, Fafda, Handva, Thepla … Aaise Lagta Hai Jaise Koi Missiles Hai” – 3 Idiots

via GIPHY

Piya, a medical student and moreover the daughter of the Principal of Rancho’s (Aamir Khan) college climbs into his room at midnight after getting drunk. If you guys remember this movie, this scene is one of the cutest and most romantic ones ever. Right?

8. “Hamesha Mard Hi Galat Nahi Hota, Aurat Bhi Galat Ho Sakti Hai. Lekin Hamara Mind Set Hai…Agar Mard Kisi Aurat Ko Thapad Marta Hai, Tab Hum Kehte Hai Ki Bada Zalim Mard Hai Aur Agar Koi Aurat ,Marti Hai, Tab Bhi Hum Mard Ko Hi Galat Mante Hai” – Aitraaz

Twitter

Well, feminism supports equality and not an upper hand for women. Many women fail to understand this and they take advantage of their rights in the wrong way. In the movie Aitraaz, Priya, the character played by Kareena reminds us of this.

9. “Tum media walo ko film scripts likni chahiye. Heroine ne gaadi kharidi toh businessman ne gift kardi; diamond kharida toh engagement ho gayi, aur God forbid Dubai gayi… toh uska rate card ban jata hai!”- Heroine

via GIPHY

Mahi in Heroine portrays a bold actress who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. This movie and the character bring under the spotlight the many emotions and struggles of actresses in the industry.

Undoubtedly, this list is “pretty amazing huh?” We hope that Kareena gives us more such dialogues to cherish in the future. Which one of these Bebo dialogues are your favorites? Let us know in the comments section below. Like this article? “Tell us how it wassssss”!

Kissing is probably one of the most important aspects of a relationship. The depth and duration can be an important marker of your relationship and tell you how well it is going on. Well, are you worried if you are doing a good enough job? Ask your man. He is going to probably give you a pretty optimistic response. However, there is a lot to read between the lines. And, for some weird reason, there are plenty of posts out there to judge your guy based on pointless crap—signs that he is immature, what is he doing to cheat and that is only the tip of the iceberg. On a bigger picture, the man’s likes and dislikes are pretty much taken for granted when it comes to conversations, attire, kissing and making love. Well, back on point, does your man like how you kiss?

Not sure? Well, we bring to a list of signs that will tell you whether you are a good kisser or is he just being nice. Read on.

#1 – He Is Surprised With How Amazing You Are That He Says it

Shutterstock

Alright. Thumb rule. Men will never lie about kissing. They will just stay mum and pass you a compliment when you do ask. If he is going to lose control of himself and ends a kiss by saying that you are a really good kisser, know that he is really enjoying it. That chances are bright that he is surprised by how well you kiss. Reason being that many women do not take into consideration what kind of kiss their men like.

#2 – He Slows Down The Pre-Love Making Teasing And Focuses On Kissing

Shutterstock

It is true. Not all men want to dive right into action-mode. Many of them really enjoy the idea of kissing to create a close intimate connection with their partner. With the concept of kissing well explored, what follows is a lot better and intense. If your guy is constantly moving away from the kiss and focusing on other parts, he is either selfish in his approach, or he is not really enjoying your kiss. This is usually referred to as tolerate kissing.

Men ideally want to engage and please and being a good kisser is a good incentive for them to get better. So, work on your technique and you will see his attention shift.

#3 – He Makes Eye Contact Before And After Kissing

Shutterstock

Eyes are the portal to the heart. If you man does the deep eye gazing before and after kissing, it is a sign that you have reached his soul. Well, truth be told, men usually give a glance before and after, but you will know from his look that is a lot deeper than usual. A look that will find you melting away. His smile, eyes and facial expressions are to look out for. If you are doing really good, he may even open your eyes to see him looking at you all along.

It is all in the eyes.

#4 – He Starts To Reflect Your Energy

Shutterstock

We have seen this is in several movies that a person interested in you will copy your actions and movements. This goes to a deeper level if you are a good kisser. Your man will actually start to take in your energy and replicate it. That is considered a non-verbal mode of communication and it shows how much he respects, admires and loves you. If your man lands up imitating your gestures, posture, and movement, it could be the best compliment yet.

He is really liking your kisses.

#5 – He Kisses Passionately, Repeatedly And For a Long Time

Shutterstock

If there are just pecks and very short kisses that end abruptly, he is trying to be nice by playing along but not really enjoying it. If he is going on for a long time, he is really putting in an effort. If you are good at what you are doing, chances are he will start to follow your lead as well. That means you are on top of your game and doing a really good job. If he takes it slow and works his way up, he is definitely enjoying the process to the fullest.

#6 – He Goes All Over The Face

Shutterstock

If your man is doing this a lot, then the chances are high that he is exploring other parts of you. Men usually try to look for a connection and an emotion. So, if he is not going past your lips, then he is not really feeling it. If he crossed that boundary, he is feeling and expressing his passion. If he is showing you what he can do, it means he loves the way you kiss and wants to give his best version to you.

So, that is a few signs to tell if your guy is enjoying the way you kiss or is he just ‘tolerate kissing’. Look out for these and if he isn’t feeling it, it is time to get your game. Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

अब लोग धीरे-धीरे अपने स्वास्थ्य को लेकर सजग होने लगे हैं। खाने में किन पोषक तत्वों की मात्रा ज्यादा या कम होनी चाहिए, इन सबको लेकर लोग काफी सतर्क हो गए हैं। खासकर, शुगर को लेकर लोग सावधान हो गए हैं। वैसे आपको बता दें कि बाजार में शुगर के कई प्रकार मौजूद हैं, जिनमें सफेद और ब्राउन शुगर का इस्तेमाल लोग ज्यादा करते हैं। ऐसे में कई लोगों के मन में यह सवाल उठ सकता है कि सफेद चीनी और ब्राउन शुगर यानी भूरी चीनी में कौन-सी ज्यादा बेहतर है।

अगर आप भी इसी असमंजस में हैं, तो इस लेख के जरिए हम आपकी इस समस्या का हल निकालने की पूरी कोशिश करेंगे। स्टाइलक्रेज के इस लेख में जानिए  ब्राउन शुगर और सफेद चीनी में क्या अंतर है और आप सफेद शुगर से अलग ब्राउन शुगर का उपयोग कैसे कर सकते हैं।

ब्राउन शुगर क्‍या है और ये कैसे बनती है?

ब्राउन शुगर को भी सफेद चीनी की तरह गन्ने से बनाया जाता है। रिफाइंड चीनी गन्ने के जूस का मुख्य उत्पाद है, लेकिन इसे बनाते वक्त अन्य कई उत्पाद भी मिलते हैं, जिनमें से एक ब्राउन शुगर भी है। इस प्रक्रिया में जो ब्राउन शुगर मिलती है, वो अनरिफाइंड ब्राउन शुगर होती है (1)। इसमें पहले से ही गुड़ (ब्राउन शुगर सिरप) बचा हुआ रहता है, जिस कारण इसका रंग भूरा होता है और स्वाद भी थोड़ा अलग होता है। वहीं, रिफाइंड ब्राउन शुगर को बनाने के लिए सफेद दानेदार चीनी के क्रिस्टल को गुड़ के सिरप में मिलाया जाता है (2)। इसके बारे में लेख के आगे के भाग में आपको और विस्तार से जानकारी मिलेगी।

कुछ लोगों का मानना है कि ब्राउन शुगर के फायदे साधारण चीनी से ज्यादा हैं। अब इसी उलझन को सुलझाने के लिए लेख के इस भाग से हम ब्राउन शुगर और साधारण चीनी में अंतर की जानकारी दे रहे हैं।

ब्राउन शुगर और साधारण चीनी में क्या अंतर है?

वैसे तो सामान्य चीनी और भूरी चीनी में कुछ खास अंतर नहीं है, लेकिन जो भी थोड़ा बहुत अंतर है उसके बारे में हम आपको नीचे जानकारी दे रहे हैं।

• पोषक तत्व में अंतर : अगर बात करें पोषक तत्वों की, तो ब्राउन शुगर में सामान्य शुगर के मुकाबले कम कैलोरी होती है। वहीं, कैल्शियम, आयरन और पोटैशियम की मात्रा ब्राउन शुगर में सामान्य चीनी के मुकाबले ज्यादा होती है। नीचे दी गई तालिका के माध्यम से भी आप इनके बीच पोषक तत्वों के अंतर को समझ सकते हैं (3) (4)-

• बनाने में अंतर : ब्राउन शुगर और सफेद चीनी को बनाने की विधि में थोड़ा अंतर है। चीनी को बनाने के लिए सबसे पहले गन्ने से रस निकाला जाता है, जिसके बाद रस को साफ करके उसे गर्म कर गाढ़ा घोल तैयार किया जाता है। अंत में गाढ़े घोल से दानेदार चीनी बनाई जाती है। वहीं ब्राउन शुगर इन प्रक्रियाओं से दूर रहती है। ब्राउन शुगर दो तरह से बन सकते हैं, एक रिफाइंड और एक अनरिफाइंड।

अनरिफाइंड ब्राउन शुगर वो होती है, जिसमें प्राकृतिक रूप से गुड़ (ब्राउन शुगर सिरप) बचा हुआ रहता है, जो इसे भूरा रंग और एक अलग स्वाद देता है। यह शुगर कम रासायनिक प्रक्रियाओं से गुजरती है और इसके मूल पोषक तत्व काफी हद तक बरकरार रहते हैं। वहीं, रिफाइंड ब्राउन शुगर मूल रूप से सफेद चीनी होती है। इस ब्राउन शुगर को रिफाइंड यानी साफ सफेद चीनी में गुड़ मिलाकर बनाया जाता है। यह कई तरह की प्रक्रियाओं से होकर गुजरती है।

• खाना बनाने के लिए : आप सामान्य चीनी की तरह ब्राउन शुगर को भी खाने में उपयोग कर सकते हैं। कुछ मामलों में तो आप चीनी के बदले ब्राउन शुगर का उपयोग कर सकते हैं। व्हाइट और ब्राउन शुगर को बेकिंग और कुकिंग में अलग-अलग तरीकों से इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है। हालांकि, इन्हें कभी-कभी एक-दूसरे के स्थान पर भी इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है। ऐसा करने से हो सकता है कि आपके खाने के रंग और स्वाद में अंतर आ जाए। ब्राउन शुगर में गुड़ नमी बनाए रखता है। इसलिए, इसका उपयोग करने से बेक किए हुए खाद्य पदार्थ नर्म होते हैं। आप अचार, सॉस, चटनी, सलाद की ड्रेसिंग, सब्जियों के मिश्रण, कूकीज या बेक्ड खाद्य पदार्थ बना सकते हैं।

• स्वाद और रंग : सफेद और भूरी चीनी के बीच मुख्य अंतर उनके स्वाद और रंग में हैं। ब्राउन शुगर से खाना बनाने से खाद्य पदार्थ हल्का भूरा रंग ले सकता है। ब्राउन शुगर को गुड़ से बनाया जाता है, इसलिए इसका स्वाद कैरेमल या टॉफी की तरह होता है। वहीं, सफेद चीनी, ब्राउन शुगर की तुलना में ज्यादा मीठी होती है। यह आप और आपकी पसंद पर निर्भर करता है कि आप किस चीनी को अपने खाने के डिश में लेना पसंद करेंगे।

ब्राउन शुगर और साधारण चीनी में से कौन-सी बेहतर है?

अब बारी आती है यह उलझन दूर करने की कि ब्राउन शुगर और साधारण चीनी में किसका उपयोग ज्यादा बेहतर है? आप सफेद चीनी चुनें या भूरी, यह आपका व्यक्तिगत फैसला है। ब्राउन शुगर का उपयोग और साधारण चीनी के इस्तेमाल से सिर्फ स्वाद और रंग का फर्क पड़ेगा। हालांकि, ब्राउन शुगर के कुछ पौष्टिक तत्व साधारण चीनी से थोड़े ज्यादा हैं और कैलोरी के मामले में ब्राउन शुगर साधारण चीनी से कम है। अगर आप सोच रहे हैं कि ब्राउन शुगर के फायदे साधारण चीनी के तुलना में थोड़े ज्यादा हैं और आप इसका जितना चाहे उतना उपयोग कर सकते हैं, तो आप गलत हैं।

ध्यान रहे कि किसी भी प्रकार की चीनी का सेवन अगर जरूरत से ज्यादा करेंगे, तो वो नुकसानदायक हो सकती है। इसलिए, भले ही आप अपनी रेसिपी में ब्राउन शुगर शामिल कर रहे हों, लेकिन उसमें पौष्टिक तत्वों की मात्रा इतनी कम मौजूद होती है कि अंत में उनसे कुछ खास स्वास्थ्य लाभ नहीं होता है। इसलिए, ब्राउन हो या साधारण चीनी, दोनों का ही सेवन सीमित मात्रा में करना ही आपके सेहत के लिए बेहतर होगा।

इस लेख को पढ़ने के बाद आपको इतना अंदाजा तो हो ही गया होगा कि ब्राउन शुगर और सामान्य चीनी में कुछ खास अंतर नहीं है। कुछ मामलों में ब्राउन शुगर के फायदे सामान्य चीनी से थोड़ा ज्यादा हो सकते हैं, लेकिन इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि आप इसका अधिक सेवन करने लगें। जरूरत से ज्यादा सेवन करने से ब्राउन शुगर के नुकसान भी हो सकते हैं। अगर आप खुद को स्वस्थ रखने के लिए ब्राउन शुगर का उपयोग करना चाहते हैं, तो इसे संतुलित मात्रा में लें। साथ ही ब्राउन शुगर का उपयोग कर अपने अनुभव हमारे साथ शेयर करना न भूलें।

Healthy skin has the power to turn back the clock and leave you looking youthful and refreshed. However, attaining this natural glow does not come easy. Pollution, UV Rays and unhealthy lifestyle routines like sleeping less and consuming too much fast food can leave your skin looking dull and lifeless. Working women in particular struggle to maintain healthy skin as a result of their hectic schedules and stressful lives. This could be the reason why many women resort to using temporary measures such as chemical peels and over the counter retinol creams. In the long run, it can have devastating effects on your skin’s texture and make your skin oversensitive and extremely dry.

However, there are many brands that take a different route to give you the same results, if not better! We recently came across a range of skincare products by Dot & Key that truly caught our attention. If you are looking to find products that are specifically designed to soothe and refresh your skin, you’ve come to the right place.

How To Get Glowing Skin

To attain and maintain well hydrated and glowing skin, one must first establish a daytime and night-time skincare routine. Only applying sunscreen and a moisturizer is not sufficient to keep your skin feeling fresh and healthy.

We’ve put together a skincare daytime and nighttime routine that your skin will thank you for. All these products are formulated with soothing emollients that will leave your skin feeling plump and refreshed.

What it does:

This serum is infused with powerful water attracting Hyaluronic Acid that will put your extra thirsty skin to rest, giving you a plump and glowing complexion.

Pump 3-4 drops of the serum into your palm, apply in dots all over your face and massage in an upward circular motion.

Dot & Key Zero-Oil Nourishing Hair Sunscreen + Softening Serum SPF 15

The volume and shine of your hair can be impacted by a lot of factors and one of the biggest causes of excessive hair damage is exposure to the sun. So, give your tresses the much needed love they deserve and start protecting it from damage.

The post Turn On The Glow With This New Skincare Routine appeared first on STYLECRAZE.

Ah! You can almost smell the freshly baked laddoos and kaju katlis, right? Diwali, our favorite festival of the year is round the corner and we can’t wait to welcome the holiday season! One of the best things about the festival of lights is that you get to dress up to your hearts content. Be it a diya or a pataka, we’re sure Diwali is the best time to don your precious ethnic outfits. Still not sure what outfit and makeup to wear this Diwali? Well, don’t worry, as long as we’re here! We’ll help you find a look that you will love to wear this festive season. So, let’s dive in, right?

1. Simple Saree

If you want a simple look but also want to keep it traditional, why not go with a saree minus the bling? Saree is obviously one of the most preferred outfits for Indian festivals. But it’s not necessary that you have to dress up all glittery if you wear a saree. Wear something that you’re comfortable in, blow dry your hair and stick a pretty little bindi. Pair the look with a set of stone studs and soft makeup and you’re done! Just get your eyebrows filled, eyes lined, and lips colored. There you go — you have your simple saree look.

2. Elegant Saree

kritisanon / Instagram

Kriti Sanon is giving you major saree goals in this picture. If you want to dress up a little fancy for this diwali, this is the look that you’ve got to pick. Wearing a well embroidered blouse and saree in a bright color will definitely light up your mood as well as your house. You can either pick a big, fancy chandbali or go for a traditional jhumka with this saree. A mid-rise bun or a fishtail plait would look good with this saree. If your saree has a plain body, you can wear a fancy neckpiece as well. But if you’re wearing a saree with heavy work on it, limit your accessories to just earrings and may be a single kada or bracelet. To add to the charm, wind a piece of gajra on your hair bun and stick a hair accessory in the center.

3. Classy Salwar

After saree, if there’s an outfit that tops the list of Indian festivals, it has to be the salwar suit. Now again, for the people who like to dress up classy and not fancy, this kind of a look is perfect. Lolo’s elegant salwar suit with the grand dupatta is #drool. If you’re opting for the big dupatta look, you’ve got to focus on your earrings more than any other accessory. Because your neck and wrists are most probably going to get shadowed by the dupatta, you’ve got to make it a point to wear eye catchy earrings. Bright eyes, highlighted nose, cheeks, and forehead, dark lips. and a pretty little bindi is all you need to make your face glowing. You can either leave your hair open, tie a bun, or get side ropes like Karishma did.

4. Fancy Suit

tarasutaria / Instagram

Taking cues from Tara Sutaria, here’s how a fancy suit without a lot of bling will look like. Well, you can go for the blings too, but we just love this all dark look of Tara. Pair a similar salwar suit with smokey eyes and some black metal jewelry, you’re ready to don a sultry look for that Diwali event.

5. Lehenga

aliaabhatt / Instagram

Princess Bhatt is quite popular for her lehenga looks. Remember the parrot green lehenga that became viral? Her taste is quite beautiful when it comes to lehengas and she has proven it again with this yellow one! Even though she didn’t wear earrings, we suggest that you wear a big stone stud for this look, along with a giant neck piece. Keep your makeup neutral and eyelids golden with a hint of kohl. A messy bun with not a lot of bling on the hair will suit this style. Go with bright colored lehengas for this festive season because they are trending high.

6. Crop Top And Skirt

The latest cousin of lehenga gives you a slightly modern option to don. Depending upon the fabric and the design, crop tops and skirts can take up western or traditional look like a fancy chameleon. Over here, we have Shilpa Shetty in this beautiful golden avatar. Something in festive colors like red, golden, or pink can make you look heavenly and stylish without letting go of the traditional element. Leave your hair open and wear a pretty pair of low hanging earrings to rock this look. Also, choose golden or bright makeup along with your outfit.

Since it’s only a few days for Diwali, we suggest that you hurry if you want to get the perfect outfit stitched or bought readymade. Which one of these outfits did you like the most? What are you going to wear this Diwali? Let us know in the comments section below.

India is one of the few countries in the world where arranged marriages are very common. For those of you who don’t know what an arranged marriage is, it’s a marriage that is planned and agreed upon by the families of the couple. The boy and the girl aren’t the ones selecting each other, it’s the families that decide for them. Earlier there were people known as marriage brokers who would help a particular family in selecting a groom or bride for their children. But now with matrimonial websites coming into existence, the entire concept of arranged marriages has gone to another level. The arranged marriage scenes have become something like a recruitment process now.

The boy or girl needs to go through a rigorous number of questions to find their perfect match. What do you do? What’s your annual income? How much property do you own? Do you like the idea of a joint family or a nuclear family? All these are just some of the zillion questions that one faces. And in the case of arranged marriages, there can be a lot of rejections, like a lot of “no”s before a final “yes”. Ask any person who’s in an arranged marriage if they ever got rejected for the most bizarre reasons, and they’ll have quite a few hilariously incredible tales to tell. Let’s have a look at seven such arranged marriage rejection stories that quite literally took us into a shock.

1. “His Father Wasn’t Aware That He Had A Girlfriend”

via GIPHY

I wasn’t ready when my parents said it was time for me to get married. In spite of constant resistance to the idea, my parents found a match for me through a mediator. Our families met, they liked us, and he seemed to be a decent man, so even I agreed to the alliance. We even exchanged phone numbers. After a few weeks when we were supposed to discuss further talks for the marriage, the boy’s side didn’t turn up at the decided meeting venue. The boy’s father called up my dad and said that he didn’t know that his son had a girlfriend. His son wanted to marry his girlfriend and apologized. My father got furious, nevertheless, he continued with his search for a groom for me.

2. “When I Requested Him To Be Punctual For Our Dates”

via GIPHY

So, I met this guy through a matrimonial site. Our families liked each other and we began to date too. What used to turn me off the most was that he never was on time to any of our dates. He was always at least 50 minutes late. So, one of the meetings when he was late, again, I politely requested him to come on time so that I can utilize my time in a better way. He argued. And when I reached home, my parents told me that the boy rejected me as I babysat him over manners.

3. “Because I Have Two Younger Sisters”

via GIPHY

A girl whom I liked on a matrimonial site rejected me because I had two younger sisters. She was worried that she’ll have to share our finances with my sisters. Interestingly, she was unemployed and my two younger sisters work MNCs and have had successful careers.

4. “Because I Had Some Further Study Plans”

via GIPHY

I got rejected because I wanted to do MBA after my wedding. In spite of me assuring the groom’s family that I’ll take care of the MBA expenses, they weren’t happy about it. They were worried that all my savings would go for my study and I wouldn’t be contributing to their family anymore.

5. “He Didn’t Have Any Ex And I Had One”

via GIPHY

I confessed to a prospective groom about my past. I told him that I dated a guy for two years and it never worked out, therefore, I parted ways with him. This groom-to-be candidate of mine felt like he was cheated as he never had any girlfriend. He said that marrying me would be like getting cheated. He wanted a girl with no past whatsoever. He stopped talking to my family and me from that day.

6. “I Didn’t Give In To Her Worldly Desires”

via GIPHY

So, I loved this girl when I saw her for the first time. I was introduced to her by my uncle. It was an arranged set up. With a wish to know her better before the wedding, I took her on a candlelight dinner date. I asked her generally how does she expect her husband to be. Her answer was he needs to pamper with lots of gifts, latest makeup range, smartphones, Swarovski crystals, etc. When I told her that occasional pampering is fine with me but not every other day, it miffed her. She went home saying I wasn’t a nice guy.

7. “I Asked For A House Help”

via GIPHY

The guy’s side rejected me because I told them that I don’t enjoy cooking and I’d love to have a cook or a house help instead to help me out. I told them that I’m a working woman and to be able to come back home and do all the household chores, it just wasn’t possible. They didn’t find the explanation fit I guess.

These arranged marriage rejection stories can sound shocking and to some, it could be funny. But let’s not forget that rejection of a big thing like marriage proposal can also hit the confidence of an individual. Therefore, always carry out all kinds of precautions and do the background check before you commit to an arranged marriage meeting. Have you faced any similar rejection?

One of the worst possible outcomes of a relationship is abuse. For one, it can be physical abuse. But, for many parts, it is usually emotional and mental abuse. In an abusive environment, the victim is probably trying to get used to what is happening, hoping it is a phase that will stop in time. However, over time, the victim starts to go through trauma, and if left long enough, the victim is probably going to believe that the abuse is a norm for life and get used to it.

But, one of the worst parts about abuse is that the victim does not know that they are victims. This could be you. And, you may just try being nice to your partner. In reality, it is taking a toll on you.

So, if you think you are going through abuse, watch out for these signs.

#1 You Live In Constant Fear

If you find yourself constantly living in the fear factor or what you can or cannot tell your partner, it may be a sign that things are not going on great. In a relationship, it is important that you both communicate right. If you are struggling to express yourself for the fear of a backlash, this is your sign to seek help.

#2 Self-Isolation

Shutterstock

As a result of abuse, one of the most common outcomes is that you may find yourself isolating yourself from friends and family. This is possibly because you are not in a position to have a confrontation and life is better without enforcing the need to communicate constantly. Also, you may find yourself alienated because that is what your partner wanted.

#3 Lack of Self-Confidence

Visualize this. A big colorful tree that is playing host to a life-sucking parasite. That is what you and your partner seem like possibly. Your partner is probably never missing a chance to criticize you, and that is done predominantly to make himself feel better. As an outcome of constant finger-pointing, the victim is bound to lose confidence over time.

#4 Taking You On A Guilt Trip

This is very common and probably we all have that one person in our lives that is capable of making anyone feel guilty of anything. This is in two ways. One, the victim can be made to feel selfish for doing something good for themselves, eventually triggering guilt. Else, the partner can provoke the victim to say something that will create guilt in time.

#5 Constantly Clingy

Shutterstock

This is probably one of the most commonly ignored red flags. Your partner is going to tag along everywhere and not really bother about giving you any personal space. In addition, you may often be faced with an unusually high demand for time and attention. In due course of time, you are going to feel drained and that, my friend, is the sign of abuse.

#6 Self-Proclaimed Passionate Folks

This is probably going to be the most common excuse you are going to hear. People who are emotionally abusive are going to masquerade under the facade of being a passionate person. However, if their passion is going to lead to gasping for air, you need to get out.

#7 Life Suckers

If you start to feel like your partner is turning into some kind of a vampire, and every time they come around, you start to feel the color leave your eyes, then you are probably stuck in a bad place. Relationships spread joy and comfort, and if you are feeling otherwise, that is your brain screaming for help.

Apart from this, you are going to notice a lot of behavioral changes in yourself. Your friends may come by and tell you that you have changed a lot. You may start to crave a lot more alone time. Further, you will constantly find excuses to keep away from your partner, like working late, getting stuck in traffic or even as often as make extra grocery trips. If these are happening, chances are you are knee-deep into emotional abuse, and it is time to get out now.

Shutterstock

If you are having trouble getting to know yourself or how to get out of the situation, you should probably talk to a therapist and look for solutions. Despite what the society may say about a breakup or a divorce, know that if it is turning toxic on you, it is okay to let it go. Holding on to it longer is only going to make things worse for you. Of course, before you can make a hasty decision, talk to your partner and see if things can be made to work again. But, if things do not look good it is okay to let go of the relationship and start over fresh.

There is no better company in the world than your own. It is okay to be selfish and give up on what is making you lose yourself. Remember, nothing in the world is worth losing your mental peace for.

Weddings are the most celebrated events in Indian families. It’s almost like a festival that lasts for a week in many families. And what’s so unique about Indian weddings? Everything! It could be the food, the dance, the music, and also, the ensembles! Indian weddings are one of those weddings where everybody wants to look their best (bride included). Every single friend or relative from the bride or the groom’s side wants to look their best and make heads turn. They invest so much on their wedding ensembles like they themselves were the bride-to-be.

But what will you do if you have two-three weddings lined up one after another? You certainly will not be able to purchase an outfit to wear to each of these weddings, right? You might hit the bankrupt button if you do so. Hey, we belong to the smartest generation of millennials now. We need to think smartly when it comes to dressing up for weddings. Buying brand new outfits for weddings shouldn’t be an option for us anymore. And yes, we also don’t want to look the same at every wedding either. What do we do then? We repeat our outfits in a different avatar by styling it different every single time.

Shutterstock

No, we’re not kidding about this idea peeps, we’re dead serious! Even our celebs do it. For example, if you are a person who follows Bollywood updates very closely, you’ll know that celebs like Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Genelia D’Souza — they have all repeated their outfits at various events and even weddings. So, why can’t we do the same, right?

Here are few styling tips that’ll come handy for you whenever you want to repeat outfits at family gatherings or weddings and still look different. Start noting down.

1. Repeating A Saree

sonamkapoor / Instagram

Saree is an evergreen clothing item for Indians. Every Indian girl will have at least one saree that she just cannot let go of; they are emotions you know. Okay, coming back to the topic of repeating a saree now, observe the embellishments, the motifs, and the colors of the body, pallu, and border of the saree you have. Based on that you can get different blouses stitched in different ways and repeat your sarees. If you wore a backless one last time, get a blouse stitched with some sleeve detailing and repeat your saree.

Nowadays, thanks to the stylists, we can also find videos online that help you drape sarees differently. Did you know that you can drape a saree like a skirt or even like a gown? Go check them out and style your sarees differently and keep hitting the repeat button.

2. Repeating A Lehenga

therealkarismakapoor / Instagram

You can wear your lehengas again and again and still not be pointed out at by someone saying, “Didn’t you wear this last time too?”

All you need is a creative brain to accomplish this. Wear your lehenga with a different blouse and dupattas. Play with colors. Also, you can even get a silk button-down shirt stitched for the lehenga you already have. It’s better than investing in an entirely new outfit.

3. Repeating A Salwar Suit

aliaabhatt / Instagram

Salwar suits can be as expensive as the lehengas and sarees that you purchase. Of course, that depends on what material it’s made of and how intricate is the embroidery work on it. Styling a salwar suit is pretty easy though, all you need to do is pair the kameez with different dhoti pants, churidars, or salwars. You can also drape the dupatta differently every time you wear it. If you have an A-line kurta, maybe you can alter it into a slim-fit hourglass shape. Wear different kinds of jewelry too, it makes a lot of difference.

4. Repeat Outfits By Transforming Them

theshilpashetty / Instagram

In spite of repeating your saree or your lehenga successfully a couple of times, you might personally get bored of wearing it, right? The problem is you don’t have enough money to get a brand new outfit either to wear for the event. So, what do you do? We suggest that you transform your outfit. If it’s a saree, convert it into a beautiful gown or even a lehenga. If it’s a lehenga convert it into a kurta or even an anarkali. And if it’s a kameez, then maybe change it into a crop top which you can pair with a plain skirt.

Play with your jewelry, your hairstyle, and your makeup — all these will help you look different and impress others with your outfit at weddings.

We all have an inner Manish Malhotra and a Sabyasachi Mukherjee inside us. So let’s closely listen to the designer with us and nail our wedding ensembles by repeating them differently. Have you ever worn an outfit twice already? If you know of any other styling tips, let us know in the comments section before.

Even though your skin exfoliates itself naturally by shedding the dead cells, this ability of your skin slows down as you age. That is when exfoliation becomes a necessity.

Although most Korean exfoliators are mild, you should not use an exfoliator more than twice a week. When choosing an exfoliator, it is best to consider your skin type and skin concerns. For instance, if you have extremely sensitive and acne-prone skin, stay away from physical exfoliators or scrubs that may further aggravate the condition. Go for a milder product.

Moreover, over-exfoliating can damage your skin. If you are using a physical exfoliator, make sure you do not rub too hard. Also, check for any ingredient you are allergic to before picking a product.

What’s the worst thing that could happen on a vacation? You sit and plan the trip for months. You consider the peak time and the off-season time of the places you plan to visit. And you make sure that whatever time you pick, you just want the place to be less crowded so that your family and you can enjoy the nature or the views to the maximum. That’s pretty much what vacation needs to be like, isn’t it? You and your loved ones at a beautiful location all by yourselves enjoying every bit of that fresh air and that serene view.

Does this ring anything in your head if you’ve traveled to India before? Let’s give you a hint — where do you head to when you want to escape the scorching heat of the summers? Hill stations, right? If you have a childhood memory of hill stations, you’d recollect magnificent pine and oak trees, beautiful slopes of mountains covered with fog, and a blanket of stars above you as far as your naked eye could see. Decades later, when you’re grown enough to travel alone there, do you find the same beautiful views? Certainly not!

Source: Twitter

The blanket of stars are covered by sky-high apartments and hotels, even the beautiful glowing river sees a layer of trash on it, and the roads, well, they’re blocked and choked with traffic jams. And why is all this happening? It’s because the tourists at these beautiful hill stations just won’t stop showing up.

Let’s take a look at some of the hill stations that are facing a major threat as a result of tourist onslaught. And every traveler out there, we’re pleading to you to be a responsible tourist and treat your travel destination with love and care. Read on to know more.

1. Mussoorie

Have you ever heard of reverse metamorphosis? If you have, then, that’s exactly what Mussoorie is going through right now. From being a colorful butterfly it’s turning back into a caterpillar now. This former haven of all things colonial that boasted of lush greenery and cool, undulated hills is now nothing of these sorts. It has been seeing a whopping surge in the number of tourists lately.

What has overtourism done to this beautiful hill station?

Mussoorie has been suffering from water shortage for the past two years!

2. Ooty

Did you know that Ooty was a hill station that was planned to house not more than 10,000 people? And right now, it has been hosting a whopping 1,25,000 people! And mind you, these are the numbers of locals residing there to create a living for themselves. The number of tourists who visit there mount up to at least half of these numbers. 17,000 people are reportedly visiting the Government Botanical Garden every day! You can only imagine the shortage of basic resources like water and land here.

What has overtourism done to this beautiful hill station?

To accommodate such a huge population, forests are being cut down on large scales.

3. Mahabaleshwar

This hill station has been a favorite among Indians ever since the British tried to escape from the scorching heat of lowland plains. Now with increasing access to private and public transport, and hotels that have been brewing up in this place; problems like clearance of trash for hotels, increased pressure for better water resources, electricity resources, littering by the tourists, and pollution of air are on a rise.

What has overtourism done to this beautiful hill station?

From being a nature’s abode to relax and appreciate nature, Mahabaleshwar has been turned into an arena of commercial resorts. This transformation is heart-wrenching!

4. Darjeeling

Darjeeling is considered to be one of the most magnificent hill resorts in India. It conjures serene vibrancy of green hills and visions of snowcapped mountains. Its breathtaking beauty looks like it’s crowned by the views of the Himalayas. This beautiful place is, however, is flooded with at least 3.5 lakh tourists annually which is a blow to its lush greenery.

What has overtourism done to this beautiful place?

When you book a hotel to stay here, make sure they don’t have any water shortage!

5. Shimla

Nearly 5000 vehicles enter Shimla on average every single day of the year here. And during weekends this number certainly goes up. The lack of planning in terms of infrastructure, roads, water resources, etc. has hit the locals’ lives most horribly. Traffic jams have replaced the beautiful mountain views while driving through this beautiful place.

What has overtourism done to this beautiful place?

Shimla once regarded to be pollution-free is otherwise now. It has water and electricity shortages every other day.

Yes, we cannot ignore the fact that tourists and their investment in such places is what feeds the towns. But what we need to understand as responsible tourists is that we shouldn’t be enjoying our vacation at the cost of environmental degradation. We think that tourism awareness, tourist taxes, and stricter laws could go a long way in solving such problems. What do you think? Let us know in the comments section below.

Love has always been a key factor in bringing people together. However, over time, relationships lose their spice and there are several factors that lead to this. It may be compatibility issues, lack of trust, or difference in opinions. However, the weirdest reason for a fault-line in relationships is the zodiac signs of the people involved. Interestingly, some zodiac signs are said to cheat more often than the rest.

Well, here goes nothing. We have brought together a list of how different zodiac signs can cheat (because why not?). But before getting into it, here’s a disclaimer— take this article with a pinch of salt and please don’t judge anyone based on what you’re going to read. So, let’s start, shall we?

Aries

Shutterstock

Well, these people are extremely competitive and are bound to lose interest very fast. If you are with an Aries partner, you are going to hear someday that they are not interested in love and it was merely infatuation. They will let go easily and move on.

Taurus

Shutterstock

People born under this zodiac sign tend to have high expectations from their partners and that forms the bedrock of their relationship. In the beginning, they will be extremely loyal. However, when their expectations are not met, it is farewell time. They are going to be the first ones to point out that things are not working well. They even jot down the points of differences that will lead to the downfall. So, if you are going to date someone like this, make sure you meet their expectations and also keep them on their toes constantly.

Gemini

Shutterstock

They are very unlikely to be loyal, and their two-faced nature makes that possible for them. Gemini people find it difficult to be in serious relationships and are going to disappear without a hint. So, make sure that your partner is serious about you before you dream about that wedding dress.

Cancer

Shutterstock

Cancerians come in a bit of variety. Although cheating is not their basic nature, they are not always in the best of their senses. They make it seem like you are taking a break, and then go on to try someone else out. And around now, they are bound to be out of you on the break (think, Ross Geller). Being “friends again” is their keyword.

Leo

Shutterstock

If you are with a Leo, thank your lucky stars. These are the kind of people who will put in their heart and soul into a relationship and do whatever it takes to make it work. Once into a committed relationship, they will go to any extent to make their partner happy. However, there are several two-faced Leos as well, and they make things dirty to the bone. Be aware of them.

Virgo

Shutterstock

Guess what? They are awesome at keeping secrets. And that makes it hard to figure if they are leading a secret life behind your back. Moreover, they are pretty damn good at it. They can give you excuses and be with someone right under your nose and you will never figure out.

Libra

Shutterstock

Meet the smooth talkers. They love to play cool and get things their way. So, for all you know, they could be showering you with loving words, affection, and a lot of gifts but on the side, they might be jumping on to the opposite shore often as well. So, as much as they are cool, cheating is very easy for them.

Scorpio

Shutterstock

The most loyal of the lot. Scorpions are the least likely to cheat in a relationship. However, it is vital to keep them happy round the clock and they will love you. Obviously, you love them too. But, if the scale is tipping, they will find a way out. The bright side? They will be honest about it. No cheating.

Sagittarius

Shutterstock

Sagittarius people don’t like serious relationships that much. They like to keep it casual until they find their soulmate. So, if you’re dating a Sagittarius, make sure that you are their soulmate unless you are okay with a casual relationship.

Capricorn

Shutterstock

This is the lot that is going to cheat and then make you feel guilty for it. They are merciless if that is what it takes. Selfish to the very core. Also, they send mixed signals that can be extremely confusing.

Aquarius

Shutterstock

Judgemental by nature, Aquarians cannot deal with emotions all the time. They may deal with things in the beginning, but they are not going to keep at it. So, when the going gets tough, they will get going.

Pisces

Shutterstock

Smart by nature, they play safe. With the ability to manipulate, they can turn the tables with stupid, yet plausible excuses. Along those lines, it is better to hire a private detective on this one.

Shutterstock

Now, you know how each zodiac cheats. But before you make up any theories in your mind about your partner, just look at them, understand them, talk to them and make sure you both are on the same page. Looking at zodiacs to spot cheaters may seem fun, but that will sabotage your relationship. If things are not really looking up, sit down and talk to them, or call it off. We’re sure this will help.

Love is beautiful, it makes you feel on top of the world. And very few people in this world are fortunate enough to have found their perfect matches. For the rest, well, they live with adjustments. Falling in love is a very surreal experience and most of the time, this act is never under our control. But once you are in love and have entered into a relationship with your guy is when the actual work begins. It’s the work of doing everything to keep the love spark alive between the two of you. A relationship isn’t easy after all! It requires time, effort, thoughts, and hard work into everything.

Most of the time you might find yourself in a fix with your boyfriend, he’s always been there for you in all times of distress and happiness. He’s been a pillar of strength and support for you. However, you still have some issues with him. Maybe he isn’t as expressive as you are, maybe he isn’t a romantic, sometimes his behavior is just out of your understanding capacity. These things are what we’d like to term as ‘red flags’ in a guy. Isn’t it a good idea to know about the red flags of a man before you start dating him? Or know of them so that you know why your boyfriend is behaving offbeat? So, how can you know of them? The answer lies in the zodiac signs. Our sun signs speak of many things that we otherwise cannot interpret ourselves. Here, let’s have a look at the red flags that men tend to possess according to their zodiac signs.

1. Aries

Enthusiasm and energy is what defines these men. But, they are also the kind of men who love being self-involved and left alone to do their thing. If you’re dating an Aries man, make sure that you give him the space that he deserves. He could be happy or not, but when he’s trying to have his alone time, just give it to him. He’ll certainly love and appreciate you more.

2. Taurus

Shutterstock

These men are very caring. However, they have another contrast trait of trying to be in control. So, if you’re dating a Taurus man, let him handle some decisions for the both of you. That way your man will feel satisfied and in control. But don’t shy away from sharing your opinions if you think his decision doesn’t feel fit.

3. Gemini

Gemini men are known to be full of life. There can never be a dull moment when they’re around. But, let’s not forget that Gemini is also a twin sign, their mood can change in a jiffy which makes them unpredictable souls. So, if you’re dating a Gemini man, be ready to set off on an emotional roller coaster ride.

4. Cancer

Cancer men are the ones who prioritize security and love over everything else in life. And this habit of theirs makes them very clingy too. And if you’re dating one, it’s very important to address this issue of being clingy in a gentle way. Otherwise, you’d end up hurting your man’s feelings.

5. Leo

Shutterstock

Leos are known to be vain men. They love pampering you with luxuries and are extremely protective and passionate about love too. They can also be very dominating and the only way you can keep him off his dominance is by showering him with more love and then tell him about the problem.

6. Virgo

Shutterstock

Virgo men are known to be practical and intelligent. And if you’re a romantic woman, then he isn’t your guy. Expressing love doesn’t come naturally to Virgo men. Therefore, if you want him to do something for you, then you better spell it out to him.

7. Libra

Shutterstock

Libra men talk so smooth, that you can’t resist yourself from being lured by their charm and wit. But they fall way too short when it comes to showing empathy in a relationship. Their indecisive nature can at times also makes them go back on their word. Therefore, if you’re dating a Libra man, make sure you take everything with a pinch of salt.

8. Scorpio

Shutterstock

Scorpio men may have an exterior of being calm and cool. But within them, they are passionate lovers. The downfall of dating them is that if anything goes wrong, they tend to lash out in a taunting or sarcastic way. Therefore, whenever you find yourself on the receiving end of this, make sure to let him know that what he’s doing is very wrong. And also, give him a chance to correct himself.

9. Sagittarius

Shutterstock

Sagittarius men are extremely fun to date. Their downside is that they are extremely blunt at times. He is very honest, therefore he can never sugar-coat and tell things to you. This, of course, is a very good trait. However, tenderly make him understand that he’s being insensitive along with being honest.

10. Capricorn

Shutterstock

Capricorn men have trouble being expressive. He might be happy but he’ll still put on a cold face which might make you confused. And this behavior of his can take a toll on the health of your relationship. Let him know that you’ll feel closer to him if he was expressive.

11. Aquarius

Shutterstock

Dating an Aquarius man can be very exciting and tricky, both at the same time. He is someone who can share all your secrets with. On the contrary, he will never share any of his secrets with you. And the only way for you to get him open up about all his inner thoughts is by gaining his trust completely.

12. Pisces

Shutterstock

The best thing about Pisces men is that they never judge you. In the romance department, he is great, but he can never be a practical guy. He can get sky-high very easily and at the same time he can also feel let-down easily. In short, handle him with care (winks).

It’s amazing how Zodiac signs can help us in knowing a person so well, isn’t it? So, the next time you feel confused about your guy, make sure you know which zodiac sign he belongs to.
