Success… A word that is everybody’s destination. Success literally means an achievement of something you planned to do. Whichever field you belong to success is your target. Now before we get on to discuss how to get success I want you to close your eyes and think that what success means to you and what your goal is actually.

“The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.”

This is what Benjamin Mays had to say for having a goal. And we all know how his goal made him bring radical changes in the US.

“Success means having the courage, the determination and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.”

-George Sheehan

So finally when we all know what goal is and how it is connected with success, let us start upon how to get it in life. For achieving success there are no primary or secondary aspects or the only set of viewpoints that can help you reach your aim. But there are a few things that should be kept in mind while working so that you may reach the peak of your dreams. A will to do the work assigned to you is a key factor that will definitely help you attain the best. Hard work and perseverance are the tools required apart from sincerity and positive thinking. There are a lot of key points if kept in mind will help you in every sphere of life. The seeds of hard work will reap the fruits of success.

Most people get disheartened when they taste failure but I believe that the bitterness of failure is the beginning of tasting success. To savour the sweetness of success never lose hope.Believe in yourself and believe in your aim. Nothing can stop you from receiving the rewards of honour. And never fear from taking responsibilities because these will not only enhance your leadership skills but will also help you gain self confidence.

So finally we may list down a few points that will surely help you in achieving success.

Determination and Desire

A weak strength of mind may easily get towards distraction but a strong mind will never do so.  A strong will and desire for the task you have to work upon will always lead to victory.

Perseverance and Sincerity

Hard work is a prerequisite for any chore. Don’t be afraid to put in your best for even the minutest job. He who works hard conquers all. Sincerity is a virtue that is honest and unadulterated. If you are sincere towards your work then you will never shy away from working hard. Remaining persistent to your work will never cause dejection.

“Insincerity is always weakness; insincerity even in error is strength”

Proper Planning

Before you start working, plan out your work. Prepare an outline of what work has to be assigned to whom and how it is to be handled. Visualise your dream by taking small but correct steps. Think about the consequences of not being able to complete the work so that you do not have to regret it later on. Design your strategy now.

Time Management

We are after all the slaves of time so it would be better if we start taking it the better way. Don’t run after time, let time run after you. Make prior deadline i.e. before the actual deadline. This will not only help you from having a relaxed and composed mind on the last day but will also help you in reviewing your work so that errors may be rectified well before in time. Value time. Try to absorb maximum from an advantageous position. Work smarter not only harder.

Self Control

This is what most of us miss on. While you’ve work on you may have to miss all the fun your friends are having. Wedding of your relative or a close friend was something you had been waiting for since long but quite unexpectedly things took the wrong turn and you were dumped with an assignment of yours.

Unfortunately you’ll have to miss it because weddings will keep coming, not the opportunities. You will have to sacrifice the pleasure moments, you’ll have to miss on the Saturday night party, and you will have to work on Sunday losing out on the gossips and shopping but sweetheart it’s worth it. Never mind for all because when you achieve success we are going to party hard. Zero distraction has to be within you as well as around you.

Leadership Skills

Yes this is a thing you need to have even if you are a homemaker and your aim is to achieve a spic and span clear house with the help of your maid. Start taking responsibilities on your shoulder. Take a step forward towards your goal by bringing out the leader in you. Have a strong hold on your subordinates. Do not be autocratic but don’t be too friendly that they start taking you leniently. Build up a sense of humour to kill the tense moments. Once you are a leader you are required to be just and fair so give the right man the right work. Creativity is a skill which you should have as well as you should be open to listening new and different ideas. This will surely help you reach the apex in a better way.

Self Confidence and Positive Thinking

Have confidence in yourself, neither too much nor too less. Overcome your fears. If possible go into yoga or meditation, this will help you feel better and work better. Think positive. Never lose hope. Just because you’ve failed once doesn’t mean you’ll fail again. Forget the past and work on your present for your successful future. As I said earlier failure is not an end, it is just the beginning of success.

Support

Lastly nothing is possible if you don’t have the support of your near and dear ones. After all you are doing all this for your family’s well being. While the work is on you might be missing on the family get together, spending time with your baby, skipping on the romantic dinners with your spouse. But if their support and belief in you is strong then nothing can stop you from achieving victory. Their encouragement and smile is the most important thing in your life, isn’t it?

I hope this is going to help out a few people on getting success in their field. Success isn’t a big word but achieving it something BIG. Maintain your calm even when things aren’t going straight. Laughter is the best medicine so never shy away from enjoying even while working because this will distress your mind. Work when you feel you can give your best, early morning, night or afternoon. Maintain high level of enthusiasm for work because skills and ability is possessed by each one of us but not everyone succeeds and this is because we lose on to a few points in life which I’m sure you’ll never do in future

All the best for your goal!!!

Online shopping for anything is experiencing a steady upsurge in popularity thanks to its more secure, faster incarnation. And of course it’s been made extremely popular because it tends to deliver large discounts, offers free UK delivery and can sometimes even get your phone to you in the next day’s post.

As a resident of the country, where mobile phone signals are rubbish, post is infrequent and the prospect of going to a mobile phone shop involves driving for an hour and a half through misty lanes, I reckon I’m pretty much the perfect target for online mobile phone shopping. So I tried it, with mixed results: I got no phone delivered to me at all and spent three weeks arguing with a customer services department in another country about the fact that they had both my money and my phone. This was a fault of the phone provider, though (the red and white one), not the technology: so I cancelled my contract with the offending company and tried again with someone else.

Plus points:

I could choose from any of the latest handsets, right there (so no driving into town, only to be told that the most popular handset was out of stock and would I mind coming back in a couple of days). I could create a simple account from which I would in future be able to manage all of my transactions through the new phone company. And of course I could have a look through multiple phone options at my leisure, comparing functionality and price.

Minus points:

No-one to talk to. So if you don’t know much about what you want then you have no idea what you’ll get, even after you have tried to sort out the different price plans and phone types on your own!

A word of caution, btw – I am not sure that buying a phone from a company other than your service provider makes a lot of sense, unless you get a spectacular amount of money off – and even then I am inclined to wonder why it is that one or two websites are suddenly able to offer you huge sums of money off immensely popular new technology. There is, I think,. A general rule for web purchases: pretty much all discounted figures for the same item come up at the same price on every reputable website. So if you’re being offered a brand new iPhone, say, at monumental discounts, you probably need to do a little more checking around before you buy with confidence from that supplier.

Buying a phone online is pretty simple for the tech savvy (so anyone who knows what all the different abbreviations mean when you are looking at the tech specs of your proposed purchase). Anyone who needs advice, though, I’d advise to think long and hard before trusting themselves to make an online phone purchase. If you know what you want, fine – but if you are looking at a high tech item and not understanding everything you see or read, you need a shop assistant to get one out for you and show you in person what it actually does.

That said, online shopping is as easy and convenient as shopping can be – and you are protected in all cases by the Distance Selling Laws, which give you a reasonably lengthy (it’s normally 30 days) period of time in which to send an item back for a no questions asked refund. So if you do buy a phone online and decide that you don’t want it, you can send it back for a full refund no matter what the opinion of the site that sold it to you.

The web lets you compare prices and functionality on as many phones as you like – and will make it easier for you to take a look at different tariffs and price plans too. Flip between the sites of major phone providers for a full package – or have a look at independent device retailers if you want to buy the phone without the contract.

A few days back I was simply wondering what would happen to my email accounts after my death? Facebook, world’s number one social networking site provided the response of the same question which I think comes in the mind of all of us.

If I would ask you, what do you want to do before you die? What would be your response? I guess no one of us is prepared for answering this question. Frankly we all know that one day we will die, but none of us remain prepared to face the same.

Day before yesterday I came to know that now Facebook has launched one fantastic app namely “If I Die”, which will allow you to either send a text message or a video message to your friends after your death. Surprised?

No need to be surprised mate, it is possible now. With the help of this new app you can also store a text message or a video message which Facebook will post on your wall, once after your death. Basically If I Die is a free app and it can be considered as a will.

You can let others know about what you left behind. Frankly you would ask me how it will work.

Simple, the process is like this, you need to create a text or video message, in which you can share whatever you want, your life story, or a secret which you never disclosed with anyone, and then you need to select three trusted friends of yours who will frankly monitor that your last message should be delivered to your friends or not, once after you die.

Once your death is confirmed by Facebook, this app will share your message to your wall. It will be confirmed by the three trustees, whom you selected. Frankly speaking I was not aware that Facebook has the option of converting your account into a memorial once your death is being confirmed and your friends can only be able to see the same.

Frankly one Israelite company has developed this application, which is already becoming popular in Facebook. The story behind the creation of this app is that the engineer who developed this app was on a family vacation trip, while he missed a very close accident and survived anyhow. This incident inspired him to create the same.

So guys if you really want to leave a message for your friends, this app is really meant for you only.

Cell phone has become one of the most important parts of our life. Frankly speaking latest technologies has entirely changed the way we were communicating a few years back.

A few years back I wrote one of the interesting articles on some mobile phone etiquette. Yesterday I was wondering that as far as the human relationships are concerned, cell phone has changed it badly.

The problem is that many people do not realize the expectations of their spouse as far as the cell phone etiquette’s are concerned. For many people calling a friend and calling a girl friend is almost similar, but women still like to hear your voice and that too in a certain way.

Frankly many of us do not know about what exactly our spouse would love, text, call, tweet or a wall post. Frankly the days of scraps have gone away now and it is the time of using Facebook and Twitter. I know that you can send a text to your girl friend telling her that how much I love you, else you can post something fancy on her wall, or tweet something interesting explaining yours love, but still I would say you to avoid these tricks.

I would suggest you to directly call your girl friend and do let her know how much you love her. It would also explain her that you care for her. You should also know some of the etiquette’s which are required while talking to your girl friend. Follow these very basic tips to learn some cell phone etiquette’s which might impress your girl friend.

Privacy

This is one of the most important aspects of any relationships. Not only that, it is also crucial as far as cell phone etiquette’s are concerned. Frankly I can understand the importance of your buddies, but still privacy is always required in any relationships. Thus if you are surrounded by your buddies, then you should avoid calling your girl friend during that duration. But still, if you really need to call her, then simply excuse yourself from your buddies and then make a call to your girl friend.

Obviously every girl prefer to talk alone to her boy friend, it’s your duty to provide her the same.

Attention

Other than privacy attention is something which every girl would desire. You should give her your attention. Always remember if you are busy with something urgent then simply give a short call to her and explain your situation. I am sure that she will surely understand it and excuse you for the work. Always remember that you should not call your girl friend while playing a game, or watching a movie. She would never love hearing sounds of game or movie while talking to you.

Listen

Each and every woman wants her men to listen to them. So be patient and listen to her. If you don’t have the time to listen her properly in the day time then always fix a time at late night or before going to bed so that you can listen all her thoughts. As in my case I fixed the time of around 10 PM to talk to my girl friend.

Don’t be Dumb

No women would love that her boy friend is dumb. You should have the ability to make her happy during the phone call too. You should understand sharing some funny incidents with her; it will refresh your relationships too.

Get Off the Call

The last, but not the least etiquette as far as any relationships are concerned is you should understand when to end the conversation. You should not end the call while the conversation is in the mid way; it will surely hurt your girl friend and will spoil her day too.

I hope that these tips will help you to know how to use your cell phone. I will be waiting for your comments on the same.

Guys, this is the New Year time, the time for making new resolutions, planning for the entire year, and remembering the incident happened during last year which just now passed. Many of us plan to quit smoking, or drinking, as New Year resolution, which actually breaks within a few days only. Some of the guys like us, who are a bit overweight, will think to lose weight in the coming year.

We always try to make plan for coming days, but then forget to follow them. Thus we remain in the same weight zone on which we are right now; otherwise we gain a bit weight too. Some of our friends will decide that they will spend less in this year. I know many of them went for shopping on the first weekend and thus broke the New Year resolution within one week only.

Do you know the reason behind the breakup of the New Year resolution? Well, frankly speaking it is just because we don’t have the confidence in ourselves. A few years back, Divya wrote an interesting article on how to gain self confidence on I News India, and today I decided to pick the same topic again but in a different way. I guess these 7 ways will surely help you to boost your confidence and remain strong mentally throughout the year and coming days.

Think About Your Power

We always try to change others, which in my view is not at all possible. We cannot be able to change the others; rather it will be better if we can think about what’s in our own control and what is not in our control. If you know your own strength and weakness, then only you can be able to think what exactly you can be able to change and what needs to be changed.

This can be possible if you can note it down on paper. Prepare a list of likes and dislikes of your own by yourself. Now focus on the things which you need to change and which you think that you can be able to change. Try to write down what are the stuffs which let you down. Do consider whatever points coming at your mind, be it from any relationships or workspace or whatever.

Always remember one thing, accept the truth to yourself, it will always be good for boosting your own confidence. Accept the fact that these are the things which I won’t be able to change right now, thus note down it, and move ahead.

Distance from Negativity

I am well aware of a few people who always take their life in a negative manner and thus demoralize others too. It is always better to avoid them. My suggestion would be to note down the people or situations which bring you down and then analyze their importance in your life. I would not say to avoid someone who is having more priority in your life; rather you need to avoid them so that their negativity should not come in your life too.

Always try to make friends who are positive towards their life and who knows how to enjoy every moment of their life.

Do Things Which You Like

This is probably the best mantra of your life to encourage yourself. If you do like watching movies then go out for a movie with your friends and relatives, or go out for a long drive, or listen to music which you love, like in my case I always prefer to listen the ghazals of Jagjit Singh to boost my confidence.

One of the finest ways to get relax is to go out for a session of exercise. It will help you to release the tension, and feel released and refreshed.

Basically my point is that whenever you are not feeling well, then do stuffs which you like. It will boost your confidence.

Identify the Sources

To identify the real source of stress is the key to build your self confidence. If you can be able to rectify it properly then you can be able to get rid of the same too. Many things can happen which can create stress in your life, like might be working too many these days, else you have acquired many works simultaneously and now you are thinking about a way to organize them properly.

Creating balance is the key behind the success of anyone. You should also know to build a balance between your time and activities, and you should focus on activities which can refresh your mind.

Open Yourself

Opening yourself actually means engaging yourself with some activities which you have not used so far in your life. Try to learn something new, or take up a new hobby will give tonic to your brain. As we say that adding something new to your profile will boost your sense of achievement and self worth too.

Celebrate Success

Only fixing the goals will not enough for your confidence boosting, rather to celebrate the small-small successes is good. Try to set small-small goals, and celebrate them in a grand way once you achieve the same. It is the best way to build confidence in yourself, as you will be happy that you achieved your benchmark.

As I mentioned above that note down the strength and weaknesses, similarly also note down the goals which you are setting. Also do acknowledge that you had achieved the following goals. Thus you yourself are creating a positive environment for your own confidence.

Don’t Take Everything Personally

Please note that this is my last tips to boost your confidence, but it is not the least one. There might be many other ways through which you can be able to boost your confidence, but this tip is the most basic one. You should not take everything personally, as it will down your morale.

Always remember one thing that you can only give your 100% to any work, turning it bad or good is not in your hand. Instead of thinking about the bad things, or beating yourself for it, it would be better if you can be able to think about your next step. Forget about it, and move ahead.

Conclusion

Although the ways which I mentioned above are all effective and will surely build your confidence, but these are effective only if you decided to make them effective. No one will be able to make you confident magically; it is you who need to identify yourself and that are the secret behind boosting self confidence. You need to put these tips in action to achieve the success and the much desired confidence.

I will be waiting for the comments on this article.

Insurance is one of the most urgent requirements of our life, and we should not ignore it. Although we all know this fact, but still we almost neglect it. For many of us, insurance never comes as the top priority stuff; rather just to save tax they opt for some insurance.

If you ask me then I would suggest that we should have to think so many times about insurance, and it should be our first priority to choose the best plan for us and for our family too. Basically I did not start this blog to let you know about this; rather I was thinking to share my views on the importance of insurance agents.

Many people believe that taking insurance plan through an agent is better than taking it directly. On the other hand many people have a different view too. I am though having the first type of view. I think that insurance agent makes our life simpler and we should be thankful to them.

Who are Insurance Agents?

Basically one broker type of person, who use to work on behalf of an insurance company and use to tell us the benefits associated with any insurance plan, and help us to purchase the same. They use to provide the intermediaries services based on their professional expertise.

Basically many insurance agents work for commercial insurance businesses, but yes a few of them are those too that use to serve the common people. Frankly speaking I really love them, as in my views they use to provide us the most important aspect of our life and don’t even charge anything from us.

Why are Insurance Agents so Valuable?

Basically they use to understand our need, and budget and then do suggest us the insurance plan accordingly. As we treat a doctor in life, we should also consider the insurance agents in the similar position. You must ask why?

After all as we cannot hide anything about our health from our doctor, as wrong information will cost heavy for our own health only, similarly we should also not hide our financials with our agent, as that will harm our own financial conditions.

Now consider the situation of the insurance agent too, first he will have to understand our need and requirement clearly and then he will have to provide us the most suitable solution and then he also need to provide all the small-small information’s related to the same. Do you think it is a small task?

I guess no. But then, what are they charging from us on this behalf? I guess nothing.

Other than helping you to purchase the most suitable plan for you and your family, an agent also assist you in the negotiation of the claims, and frankly this is the most important aspect of purchasing the insurance plan through an agent. If you know a bit about the insurance procedure, or the claim procedure then I am sure that you know how hectic is to provide all the relevant information to the insurance companies is. Doing it on our own is almost next to impossible task.

Frankly speaking, purchasing an insurance plan with the help of an agent is much-much better compared to doing it by our own. With the help of latest technologies and their experience they are the only person who can compare different plans on the basis of your need and then only they will suggest something to you.

Weight loss is something on which I am always providing a few tips; a few examples of them are a few tips to lose weight, how to lose weight without exercise, the simplest way to lose weight, 11 fastest ways to lose weight, etc. Yesterday I was thinking to write a new blog post on weight loss and then I realized that many people who lose weight actually gain it back quickly.

Frankly speaking as I mentioned in the past also, that weight loss is not that much difficult as people assume about it. You don’t need years to lose weight, I actually lost 10 KG of weight during one month time only and it did not happened because of any pills or heavy exercise.

Wondering if you worked so much, spent so much time to lose weight and gained more just after a few days, I am sure that you will become frustrated. Here are the top six tips which can allow you to lose weight forever, and that is why I named if amazing tips.

Movements in Your Daily Life

The secret behind the 10 KG weight loss in tenure of only one month was actually lies behind the line which I see on a daily basis in the metro station. It says that “Use Stairs in Place of Lift.” We all almost read this line, but never try to implement it on our life. Actually we all remain in a hurry and that’s why we prefer to use elevator instead of the stairs.

Frankly speaking, we all know that regular exercise can be the key behind the weight loss, but won’t be able to follow the same path. It is always good if you can follow the regular exercise, but still we should try some regular movements in our daily life so that we can be able to lose that extra weight.

Like on a regular basis we can use stairs in place of lift, we can walk a bit from parking to the office or to the metro station, we can take a small walk to the nearest vegetable shop, also we can chose a shopping mall which is located a bit far from your home, and thus you can straight away walk there and have a bit of movements.

Frankly speaking walking is one of the most common and effective exercise to lose weight for a permanent basis.

Avoid Big Food

Many people, including me too, think that instead of taking small-small foods on a regular gap, it is always better to have more food at an interval of long time gap. Frankly speaking it is a bad habit. I realized the same when I detected diabetic, and thus doctor suggested me to take small-small foods on a regular gap of around two to three hours.

I use to do a bit of fasting, but after I detected as diabetic I immediately stopped doing fast and now I can see the effect on my body. I really lost 10 KG of weight within one month of time and am really feeling light and happy now.

So always try to eat something (not everything) in a gap of around two to three hours.

Plan it Properly

I have seen many a times that people can get back to their old habits. There are many reasons which can stop you to follow a regular plan to lose weight; stressful life can be one of them. Frankly once you started a regular plan to lose weight and lost a few weight and due to any reason once again get back to your old habits, then it is really harmful for your health.

What I would suggest in this case is to make a proper plan and write them down and then strictly follow them up. It will always help you to keep track of whatever you are doing and helpful you to review in future.

Determination

Determination is one of the prime reasons behind the success of losing weight. We all think once or twice that we need to lose some extra weight, and start attempting many things to achieve the same. But after some days we once again return to our normal routine, thus all the effects of the workout goes into vein.

Frankly speaking you should always remain positive and determined that you can lose weight. Be surrounded by positive thinking people and talk to them about the progress which you are getting in the attempt of losing weight.

Don’t surround with negative mind people, as they can ruin your plan to lose weight.

Don’t Wait

Frankly don’t wait for tomorrow to start weight loss program, rather always start it today only. Being consistent in reducing weight is the secret behind permanent weight loss. I have heard many people as saying I will do blah-blah when I lose weight, but don’t know when this when will come alive.

Never wait for tomorrow to fulfill your dreams, whatever you won’t to do, start doing the same on today only. Frankly speaking consistency will always show you good results.

Take it Lightly

Once you gained a few extra weights after following a long plan, you should not do anything drastic. Be relaxed and do take a few small-small steps to overcome the same. Try to analyze what went wrong and rectify the same only. Like you can avoid wine with dinner, if you think that taking wine along with dinner can causes this weight loss.

You can also cut deserts, or take another walk before going to bed. But yes always remember one thing you should not skip the special occasions, I am not saying to enjoy the special occasions in our life, as life is too short, and we have only a few rare occasions in our life which we can really celebrate. Thus do cut the amount, but don’t say NO to anything.

Conclusion

Frankly speaking don’t panic about weight loss, following a regular diet plan along with walk in our daily life we can be able to lose weight for a permanent basis. Please do suggest your feedback on this article in the form of comments.

Although I started this website I News India in the year 2007 and worked hard in the year 2008, but lost a bit of momentum in the year 2009 and 2010. Even in the year 2011, I did not get much time to work on the site, but still managed to post a few articles on a regular basis and thus being able to manage the momentum.

For the first time, I am really happy to say this; our website got around more than 300K unique visitors during the year 2011. I am really delighted to see this. I am also delighted that despite of my very hectic schedule I anyhow manage to publish around 138 articles during this year. There are a few guest articles too, which I received from many people and I published a few of them on the website too.

Total number of visitors which I News India received during the year 2011 was of 338,877 which are quite good compared to last year’s 164,934. Actually it increased by a margin of 105.46% as compared to last year’s visitors, which in fact is really quite good.

Although I tried reducing the bounce rate of my website, and get a huge success in the second half of the year, but still overall it reached to a level of 85.57% which is not good as compared to last year’s 83.91%. This year, I mean in the year 2012, I will try my best to bring it down to 80%. The avg. time spent on the website is also not good compared to last year’s performance.

After seeing this data my prime target it to get around 500K unique visitors during the year 2012, along with reducing the bounce rate to below 80% and to increase the avg. time on site to a level of around 60+ seconds.

Glad to see the traffic source of the website I News India. You would be surprised to hear that 61.93% of the entire traffic came through Search Engines, which is actually 5.52% higher than the previous year 2010. On the other hand the direct traffic too increased by 17.23% and reached to a level of 11.66%, which is a sign that now many people are aware about the domain name www.inewsindia.com and they use to visit our site on a regular basis. The matter of slight concern is the traffic through referring sites, which actually decreased by 15.80% from the previous year. I know the prime reason behind this downfall and it is because I did not get much time to work on the sites like Digg, Reddit, Stumbleupon etc. through which I use to get a good number of traffic in the past.

I am also delighted to announce that Google itself sent around 194,325 visitors to I News India, which is really satisfying as far as the site size is concerned. Also in the year 2010 Google only sent around 77,246 visitors and hence it is quite good compared to that. The most used keywords which sent traffic to I News India were benefits of reading, love marriage vs arranged marriage, importance of reading, how to gain confidence, and advantages of reading. Thus you can see that 10 benefits of reading was the most searched article of my website, but yes the most popular story was 15 sexiest Indian women.

As far as the popularity of the posts is concerned here are the top five posts of my site which received good amount of visits:

1. 15 Sexiest Indian Women: It received 123,768 page views compared to 42,377 of the last year, which is seriously quite good.
2. 10 Benefits of Reading: One of my most favorite articles, it received 56,662 page views. Compared to last year’s 33,904 views this is quite good.
3. Love Marriage Vs Arranged Marriage: One of the most talked about article of my website, which in fact is very near to my heart, has around 37,738 page views, which is actually quite better as compared to last year’s 7,882 views.
4. The Simplest Way to Lose Weight: Lately it reached to the top five most popular posts of my website, and I am really glad that it has 11,105 page views which is actually quite well compared to last year’s 1,778 views.
5. 10 Sexiest Eyes of India: Although now when I see this article I think that this article can be much better than what it is at the moment, the reason behind this thinking is the images which I put on this, the time when I created this article I was not at all aware about using any photo editing tools, but now I am a bit good editor of the images, and thus I am planning to re-write this article in coming days and display some great images in it. Still I am delighted that this article got around 8,904 page views, as compared to last year’s 4,273 views it is really good one.

To end the very first post of New Year 2012, let me tell you about the countries from where I News India got visitors. The prime sources of my visitors were from India only, which give me around 139,420 visitors, as compared to last year’s 63,214 it is more than double. Second country which gave I News India more visitors is United States which sent 55,604 visitors this year, while UK being the third one which sent around 29,361 visitors. This year my target will be to double the traffic from these 3 countries and also provide them the more interesting and useful articles. Hope to achieve the target, I am looking towards your comment on the same.

Hair loss, which is one of the most common health problem, and most found in women. Frankly speaking it is common in both men and women, and it is not at all limited to any race or community or culture. In fact it is a global problem, and frankly each and every person loses some amount of hair on a daily basis.

Not only this, but you also generate some new hair on a daily basis. Means it is a continuous process, we lose some and we gain some. The problem is that when we lose more and gain few. Especially two out of 3 women are bound to face this situation, and they really scream about the same too.

I was not that much concerned about hair loss till a few days back, when my wife complained me that she is facing the problem of hair loss. Although a few months back I too was facing the same, but I any how did not panicked that much for the same.

As I mentioned earlier that it is quite usual that we lose some hair, so mild hair loss is not a big-big concern, but yes excessive hair loss is something which will need proper care, attention and medical attention. As we all know that hair is often considered as one of the most valuable assets of women, and frankly speaking it increases the beauty of them, so proper attention and care is required for them.

By knowing the exact reason the hair fall, anyone can be able to stop it. Different people will have different causes of hair loss; here are a few which might affect your beauty too.

Heredity

As we all know that some of the diseases like diabetes, hair loss, baldness etc. can be caused due to the heredity factors. Some genetic problems along with the problems with androgen hormones can cause hair loss in human beings. Androgenetic alopecia, which is actually one of the most common types of hair loss problem, can be caused due to heredity only. Thus heredity might be the most common cause of hair loss problem.

Stress

In this stressful life, any diseases like diabetes, blood pressure, memory problems, diarrhea, constipation etc. can be actually caused due to stress. Not only this, sometimes stress can also increase the hair loss. A few months back while I too realized the same, as I was taking more stress of my work and I was losing the hair, but lately I decided not to take that much stress and I got relieved from the hair loss problem.

Some Illness

Some of the illnesses like malaria, typhoid, etc. can also be a cause of the hair loss problem. With some of the illnesses, baldness also comes along. Also for some patients chemotherapy, can also increases the problem of hair loss. Major concern is that in some of these cases hair loss cannot be incurable too. We won’t leave with many options in this case, but yes doctors can suggest you some ways to outcome from this.

Medication

As I mentioned that some of the illness can also cause hair loss, while similarly some of the medications can also cause the problem of hair fall. One major advantage with the hair loss caused by medication is that it might be a temporary effect. The same can be rectified once you stopped taking those medicines.

Hormones

Hormonal dysfunctions can also be one of the main players of the hair loss problem. Doctors say that people having hyperactive or less active thyroid gland can might have the problem of hair loss. Many women during pregnancy and during post delivery too face the problem of hair loss due to the hormonal imbalance in the body. The good thing associated with this problem is that it can be rectified easily.

Infection

Apart from all the above mentioned causes infection is also one of the prime reasons behind the hair fall problem. Although the good thing is that these types of hair loss problems can be easily rectified.

Apart from all the above mentioned causes there are a few more possible reasons behind the hair fall problem. For some people psychological factors, improper hair care, imbalance in sex hormones, can also be one of the prime reasons of the hair loss. Whatever it would be, I know that it can always increase the frustration and reduces the confidence level too. By knowing the exact cause of the hair loss at least we can get some solution for the same.

OK, so I’ll admit it: when I read the title of this post I had no idea what the heck I was supposed to be talking about. Where I come from, the idea of a bachelor party favor is pretty much unheard of. A bachelor party is where you get drunk with your oldest and best buds, maybe go to a casino and pretend you’re in Goodfellas for the evening. Favors are what you get on your wedding day – and from the point of view of the groom (sorry but it’s true), they’re pretty pointless even then.

So I’m going to suggest a whole new way of doing things: if you must give out favors on your bachelor party, make them comestible, preferable potable. Drinking happens in large style on a bachelor party, right? So give everyone a special bottle of beer or something. And a bag of pretzels. That ought to set the right tone for the evening…

Of course if you are having a one off bachelor party (one night rather than a whole weekend) then you might be theming it. In which case the favors you choose should be all about the night – something fun, something you can eat or drink (again) and something nice and cheap. So if you have a pirate themed night, for example, you could give everyone a bag of chocolate coins to consume, Treasure, it be! Ooargh!

The other end of the scale – i.e. expensive gifts you can keep – is pretty dumb for two reasons. One: showing off how much money you’ve got is not a good idea at any time, and particularly not during a bachelor party, which is often attended by groups of people who don’t know each other. An expensive gift might not go down so well with some, which instantly puts a bone of contention in the group.

Two: everyone is going to be drunk, unless you’re a monk. In which case you wouldn’t be getting married in the first place. So everyone will be drunk. Which means they will all lose whatever you give them. So it might as well be cheap and edible. Then they can eat it rather than lose it (unless they drink too much and end up ill, in which case they will be losing it along with everything else, but that’s a story best left for the boys…).

I suppose if you have a common interest and are enjoying that interest for your bachelor party activities (golf, maybe or hiking) then you could invest in some cheap favors that point to that interest. Like golf balls. Or a carabineer or something. There are plenty of places where you can get personalised cheap gifts like this to enhance the atmosphere of your bachelor weekend.

One of the most common inedible favors is a t shirt. There are advantages and disadvantages. Me, I think that a bunch of men wearing pink t shirts with “Nobby’s bachelor weekend” or something similar printed in massive letters on them, are asking to get into trouble. But some guys find being the centre of attention a lot of fun, so who am I to judge?

A t shirt (as long as it isn’t vomited all over or lost) can be a good reminder of a memorable weekend (the bits you can remember of it anyway). But I still think a personalised bottle of beer is the best favour you’ll ever give.
