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!

Yes, you're the most beautiful person on the Earth!

Do you know you are so beautiful? Do you know you are the 'original manufacturing piece'? Hey before jumping to any conclusion, I want to clear that it has nothing to do with your waist line or shining hair. This is that charm and shine you are having inside that makes you beautiful person. Still you are doubting, well I can give you hundred reasons for believing me. Read on!



Your laugh makes you vivacious. Sometimes it mirages youth and peace, sometimes it is to tease your colleague, sometimes it exudes mischief. But when you laugh, you become so ravishing.

It is really commendable to handle your emotions without breaking down but sadly, not many people are blessed with a steel spinal cord. But do you know when you break down, you become so attractive. Your emotions are beautiful and every drop of tear which you shed makes your beauty indescribable. The way you cry and feel such heartbreak makes you lovable. Your courage makes you smile. The way you combat hardships, get worst on your face, get up, brush the dirt and smile again, walk again with the same pride. The dignity which your face is showing makes you darling.

You go all teary eyed when you see an old couple sitting on the bench of the park, you make sure you give your seat in a bus to an old person or a woman with a baby, you whole heatedly wish your friends on their birthdays even when they forget yours, you protect a puppy from coming below the wheels. Your thoughtfulness makes you stunning. Your inner self says 'I am the most beautiful creature on the world'.

Well these are only some points which make you beautiful but the list is endless. There are innumerable reasons which contribute in your charm and your beauty is not a slave to your height, weight, color or looks.

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.
 

Make the “Valentine week” special....

Finally it has arrived! The year long wait for the love bugs is now over with the onset of Valentine week. Every day of the week gives you ample of reasons to celebrate love and togetherness. So, capitalize the most of it and acknowledge your love for your beloved. If you curious to know how to make tickle the love bone of your beloved, you have certainly landed on the right page. Let's take it step by step and know how to commemorate every day of the love week-

February 7- Rose Day

The great symbol of love, a red rose, is perfect to kick start the Valentine week. Take a beautiful bouquet of roses to make your beloved feel special. If you have some budget constraints, just one red rose is more than enough to convey your feelings and emotions, which even costliest items would not be able to do so. Even if you want to drop a hint to someone whom you have just met or want to pamper your beloved with a special gesture, this is the best day to do so.

February 8- Propose Day

Yes, this is the awesome day to confess your feelings for your sweetheart. I personally like this day, because if the fire is same on both sides, you will get a warm answer, but if there is only one side love, the other person will never scold you. After all it is a propose day! But wait a minute, who says it is a day meant for unmarried people. Even if you are married, you can relive 'those' special moments by again proposing your spouse for marriage. Married couples can renew their vows. If you cannot think of anything else, go for the romantic candle-light dinner date.

February 9- Chocolate Day

Chocolates add more love to the already 'sugary' relationship. Rather than gifting a box of chocolates, try to bake a chocolate cake for your beloved. (Believe me, blending of love and chocolate is indeed a sinful combination, and rapture on each other and not just your chocolate cake)

February 10- Teddy Day

Though, some may find it cliched, but a sweet teddy bear is an impeccable gift to cuddle onto whenever you will miss your beloved. This gift can live with you in your room and can always remind you of that 'special' person you have in your life. Though teddies are considered to be perfect gift option for girls, but even men also like to have it.

February 11- Promise Day

“I never make a promise, I don't intend to keep, so whenever I say forever, forever is what I mean” Doesn't it sum up the need to keep promises for each other?. This and such nice quotes are perfect for this day. If you truly love the person then why should you afraid from expressing it? Make it unique or special by promising something really special to them under the moonlight or at the time when you both are together over the candle-light dinner.

February 12- Hug Day

Nothing can perfectly convey your emotions as a nice and tight hug. Whether you plan to hug your partner each time or if it is a spontaneous casual hug, you should make them feel special. So it is a nice idea to put all your warmth and feelings in a hug and make it comes from the heart. On this special day, plan an exciting picnic with your partner and make it fun or casual by playing exciting games and eating out. Don't miss any opportunity to hug your darling.

February 13- Kiss Day

It is a kiss day so who says you need fancy and expensive set up to live this day? Dig your heart in a home cooked meal, clink wine and play some funny but lovely games. As the day is approaching to an end, seal it with a passionate kiss.





 

Reignite your marriage even after parenthood

It's now easy to keep the spark alive in your relation even after becoming parents. Read in to know how

Well we agree it's not an easy task to keep the chemistry going once there's is the pit-a-pat of a little angel's feet in the house. There's chores to be attended to, dishes to be washed, food to be cooked and sleep to catch up. And this 'vicious' cycle begins all over again. But even in amidst of 'so many' work to be attended, being man and woman is not altogether impossible either. Your child is the culmination of your love so why should you make him a reason of losing passion and sheen in your relation? Read on to know how to revive your love even after enjoying parenthood.

Love at the doorstep- You are back after a long tiring day and your toddler is eagerly waiting at the doorstep to get in your arms. Many relationship experts opine that a healthy bond between mom and dad is the foundation stone of a peaceful home and that too starts at the entrance gate. Sweep your child in your arm and head straight to your spouse and land a peck on his/her cheek. This will silently convey to your partner that he/she is still your top priority. Plus, your child will glow in the love that you both will share.

Again become a couple- The sudden realization of parenting often becomes a burden and leaves you too tired to share anything more than a hug by the end of the day. But it is crucial to re-ignite your love so keep up the flirt quotient high throughout the day. The gentle touch, kiss/hug or caress on the neck won't only keep the spark of romance alive but will also tell your kids that marriage isn't not only about responsibilities.
Relax- True, he put dirty socks on the bed and she didn't remember to turn off the gas. But is shouting about every little oversight going to work for you? Learn when should you let go off things. There are more bigger (when I am saying bigger, believe me its really bigger) things to take care of. Let the dishes be tomorrow’s problem. Whenever, you fume with anger, think for a minute; will this really matter two years down the line? If the answer comes negative, you know it is good to stop now.

Catch up your old time- Remember the old friends you used to have or those favorite hangouts. Your friends may be waiting to hear from you (probably not the new thing your kid learnt). Catch a movie or revisit your favorite place again. Take up a class you always wanted to and also encourage your partner to do the same. Work around each others time. Believe me when you will pamper yourself, you will rediscover yourself and that will make you more lovable!
