Who Says Shahid Kapoor Can’t Marry a Younger Girl?

“Oh my god Shahid Kapoor is marrying Mira Rajput. Really he has broken my heart,” these words were enough to make me laugh on my elder ‘married’ sister who was never fond of movies (read Bollywood). Just to remind my sister her marital status, I pointed my finger towards a photo frame hanging on the wall, in which she was happily posing with her hubby. J

“Hey dear, there is one common thing between ours and Shahid’s marriage- Like me and my hubby, there is also a huge age gap between Shahid and his fiancée age.” Astonished and enthralled at my sister’s finding, I started thinking why there is so much hullabulla on the age gap of a couple? What is the ideal age gap? Our so called Indian mentality says, a girl should always be younger than her husband both in age and height. But is it a guarantee of a blissful married life? A big NO!!!

To make a marriage work, it is imperative to invest your time and emotions in it. It is crucial that the wavelength of both the partners should be on the same level. Being a girl, I always find matured men attractive. What made me to take my casual dating to the next level, i.e; marriage was the humbleness and caring attitude of my husband. Even my sister’s husband is much younger to her but it is only he who has completely mentored her in every possible way. Be it personal and professional front, there is not even a single field where she doesn’t seek her hubby’s advice. It is all about finding a good partner, irrespective of the age-gap.

Don’t forget, Shahid had a breakup with Kareena Kapoor, who is elder to him. Now he has found a solace in a much younger girl. Age doesn’t have any relevance in making any relationship successful.

Hence Proved!!!!

4 ways to balance office-home life

Let's unveil some great ideas that can help you in striking a seemingly impossible balance between office and home life-


Don't over prioritize your office work- You can't always choose work over your family. There may be a time when taking your wife to a nearby grocery shop is more important than completing the presentation. There is no need to stress either about your personal or professional lives. Though your earning decides your shopping budget, you should always remember, “Money can buy materialistic things but the smile which comes on the face of your dear ones when you spend time with them, is completely fabulous.


There is no set time or day to unwind yourself- From whom you have heard the rule that you need to wait for an entire week to chill with friends? Oh common, you can spruce up any day of your life. Just call your friends on any weekday or perhaps on an easier day when there is less work pressure. Chat, drink and de- stress. You'll find yourself in a much calmer and nicer space to go home and face next day's office work. Also when you meet friends in the middle of the week without any planning, life becomes more exciting.


Prioritize your needs- “I can't be perfect after all I am not a superman/superwoman”, say this line three times a day, and you will find your life easy and calm. In trying to be best in every situation, we forget that life is beyond that. It's ok if you want to go out to meet your friends, leaving behind husband or kids at home. Make life simple by not complicating it too much with your set criteria.


Stop worrying about every crisis- The unpredictability of life makes it more beautiful. Treat deadlines and home work just the way they are regular. Being exceptionally organized may be required, but it is not desirable. So never try so hard. Do what you can do to the best of your capability and even if you fail, don't fret!

Romantic things that husbands do unknowingly!

Those who thing women are tough to please, think again. You don't need to buy costly gifts to pamper your ladylove. In fact, small gestures like hug, smile, kiss are enough to bring a smile on her face. Shocked? Don't be! For women, romance is not confined only to red roses, diamond jewelery or candle-light dinner. Love is something which is more than that. It can be anything from simple praise words to helping her in the kitchen. So, let's find out what more you can do to make her feel special-

Unanticipated hugs- That sudden hug you give her when she is cooking in kitchen or busy ready something or any other time, sways her away. In fact, whenever you give a morning kiss on her forehead when she is half sleeping, it gives a good start to her day.




Helping in kitchen- Now, it has been proved. Those men who help their partners in kitchen are considered to be more sexy. Women known that men usually don't like to work in kitchen and therefore, when they see you right next to them in the kitchen, doing dishes, preparing salads, chopping vegetables, their heart seems to brim with happiness and joy. This gesture is so endearing that they fall head over heels in love all over again.



Making the bed- This is something that she can expect from you. After hectic office schedule, household chores and the kids, she is exhausted, after all she is also a human being like you and not a machine! So, when she finds that the bed is all done and tidied, ready to snuggle in the neatly laid bed sheets, her joy sees no limit.











Helping kids in their studies- Those who have created the character of a superman must be suffered from a 'dangerous manly syndrome'. After all, all the hard works a woman put can even put a superman to a shame! Therefore, when you look after the kids, help them in their homework and school projects and read bedtime stories, you not only become the world's most favorite father but also earn brownie points in the eyes of your wife.



Accompany her to a shopping- Yes, women love the idea of spending their spouse money on her favorite shoes, dresses (with pun intended!) but she enjoys more when you accompany her to a shopping. It need not to be for costly dress, just notice the smile and sparkle in her eyes when you join her even for the household shopping. And in a shopping store, when you unexpectedly hold her hand, love hormones suddenly shoot up!



Complement your wife- 'My wife is a good homemaker', 'My wife is very supportive', 'She has well adjusted in my home', when you give these complements to her in front of family and friends, she feels proud that you value and respect what she does for you.






Taking care of her when she is unwell- Those times when she is unwell and you take leave from the office to take care of her, she feels blessed. When you remember every medicine of hers, 'order' her to take rest, cook meal and simply sit besides her & taking her hands in yours, she finds it good to fall ill!

Arranged Marriage-Refrain from asking 5 Questions In The First Meeting

Undoubtedly, arranged marriages are not an easy thing to start with. The first meeting is the series of awkward meeting, expressions, shyness and silence. You can never be sure what to say and what to underplay in your conversations with the other party. The entire process becomes uncontrollable when one party asks irrelevant questions. To save you from this trouble, we have listed down 5 questions which you should never ask in the first meeting if you are going for an arranged marriage-

What is your salary? We all have heard this, 'Never ask a woman her age and the man his salary'. However, there is a twist in the story. Even guys should understand that working women would not like the idea of telling their salary at first meeting. The question makes sense that you give more priority to money.

Did you have any past relation? Many people ask this question in the hope of getting 'No' reply. Though, honesty is the prime ingredient of a successful relationship but such personal question should be left for the time when you both become more familiar and comfortable in each others company.










What is your monthly expenses? Being financially safe is indispensable but asking this question out rightly at a first meeting is completely no-no. If the answer of this question really matters to you then you should rephrase it in a much better way. Like ask about his/her hobbies or likes/dislikes as this will give you an idea about their lifestyle.












How many guys or girls have you rejected till now? Just because you are becoming conscious and little bit scary, it doesn't mean that you will start asking absolutely irrelevant questions. If a person is going for an arranged marriage then obviously they would have met quite a few people before meeting you and may meet some more even after you. So, never ask this question as this has good chances of getting backfired.









Will you cook everyday? Are you looking for a spouse or a cook? You are here to understand the person in a better way and not to discuss the household chores. It is really demeaning to ask the question to a woman. Especially for a working woman, it is not possible to come back home after work and then cook. If you yourself can't cook after returning back from office then you should not expect it from the other person.

When you ask wrong question then you end up making a fool of yourself only. So it is best to refrain yourself from asking inconsequential questions and ensure that you find a prospective partner.

Keep Saying “I Love You” to your partner for a happy marriage

The study conducted by OnePoll.com has revealed that kissing and telling your partner "I love you" ten times a week is the secret mantra of a happy marriage.

The survey results also say that having three arguments a month also strengthens the relation and more importantly, a couple must be able to say sorry and couples should be able to each other's mistakes. Also, in perfect marriage, couples make love three times a week and spend seven nights a month cuddled up in front of the television.
Getting married is not a daunting task but it takes a lot of commitment and efforts to keep your marriage a perfect one. If two people are not ready to accept each other unconditionally, they will surely find it difficult to keep their marriage life long lasting.
