Deepika Padukone Says :- There is only ONE sign that a woman wants to have sex..........

My Point of View...

There is only ONE sign that a woman wants to have sex and that is that she says “YES”.

The reason I write the above line is because we all know that in India we are so desperately trying to make a change in the way sections of our society think in order to move towards a happier world devoid of inequality,rape,fear and pain.

I am not naive about my own profession; it is one that requires lots of demanding things of me. A character may demand that I be clothed from head to toe or be completely naked, and it will be my choice as an actor whether or not I take either. Understand that this is a ROLE and not REAL, and it is my job to portray whatever character I choose to play convincingly.

What my concern is and I am stating it clearly so it is not misconstrued or confused with Shahrukh’s 8-pack or any other woman’s or man’s anatomy. I have spoken out against an ideology that such regressive tactics are still being employed to draw a reader’s attention at a time when we are striving for women’s equality and empowerment. In a time where women should be applauded for making headway in a male-dominated society,we blur the lines between REEL and REAL life and dilute all our efforts by making a one-year old back sliding piece of news a headline. Digging out an old article and headlining it “OMG: Deepika’s Cleavage Show!” to attract readers is using the power of influence to proliferate recessive thought.

When an actresses inner wear decides to do a "peek-a-boo",she most definitely did not step out with the intention to do so.So instead of zooming in,circling it and pointing arrows at it,why don't we give her some 'respect' and let it go instead of making it 'headlines'!? Are we not human?Yes we marvel,envy and drool over a male actors 8pack abs in a film,but do we zoom in on the mans 'crotch' when he makes a public appearance and make that 'cheap headlines'??!!

I have no issue celebrating my body and I have never shied away from anything on-screen to portray a character. In fact my next character portrayed is a bar dancer (sorry Farah for the spoiler!) who titillates men as a means to support her livelihood. My issue is you propagating the objectification of a REAL person,and not a character being played. Sure,dissect my characters if you wish-if it is of so much interest then discuss the character’s cup size and leg length if it is relevant to making the role convincing. All I am asking for is respect as a woman off-screen.

It is not about breasts,penises,or any other body part being reported.It is a matter of context and how out-of-context the reportage is just to sell a headline. And more so during a time in dire need of an attitude shift towards women.

For me this topic ends here.Everyone is entitled to an opinion.I have little interest to take this further as it might get more attention than it deserves and might be further misconstrued and twisted to sell more undeserved headlines.

Having said that,please may we show love,dignity and respect to each other.

Live well, laugh often and love much.

World Hates Women

She is a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife and a companion- That’s a 'woman' for you! A power that can bring a new life on earth, literally! But, then what is that one thing that women all across the world are doing that makes them taste so much of hatred? Hmm...Okay! We got it! It is because she is born as a woman, that is why, isn't it?

Well, what can be the other reason for a human being to face such a kind of punishment? If you don't agree, then can you explain what is happening in this video? Take a look:

This video screams at you, haunts you and tears your soul apart! If we do this to people, the right to be called 'human' should be snatched from us! 

Women are being insulted, tortured and murdered. Babies and little girls are being admitted in hospitals with torn vaginas and ruptured intestines. Young girls are abducted, assaulted and murdered for no reason. In Delhi, a young girl was abused and her rapists pulled out her intestines with bare hands. In Spain, a girl’s breasts were cut off and she was slowly dismembered because she chose death over rape.

What is the reason for such in-human actions? The world hates women, that is evident, but why? Why are women being punished for being women? Why are women abused, raped, assulted and killed publically, with no one speaking a word against it? Why are women, be it 3-months old or 90-year old, not safe anywhere in the world?

Worst of all, a girl-child is murdered in the womb, for just one fault of hers– she was formed by the combination of two X chromosomes, instead of one X and one Y chromosome, in more simplified term, she would have grown up to be a woman! But, is it a crime that she must be punished for it?

Unfortunately, as the world claims to become more civilized and advanced, there is a savage side to humanity that is also gaining strength. A monster that scares women away from enjoying their right to freedom and frightens them from even breathing!

Despite laws getting stricter and stringent, there is a parallel increase in the crime against women. Well, let's leave the law-aside for a moment, we all know cops cannot be everywhere, but we- the society can be! Shouldn't we object, interfere and stand up together (before a crime instead of after!) to stop those monsters around us? But yes, if any of you still think that it is a woman's fault, then please feel-free to tell- Why our world hates women? The whole world is waiting for that answer; share it with everyone in the comments below!

20 Things Every Woman Should Do In Her Twenties

1. Date, or even just have sex with, a ridiculously hot guy. I mean, or fall in love with him? But you probably won't, because there is a good chance he will want to talk about the plot of his novel or how much he loved being on a commune or some other bullshit like that.

2. Go abroad. Ultimately, spending money on experiences is more important in your 20s than spending it on stuff. Exposing yourself to a different culture will make you a better, more broad-minded person, plus the FOOD, GUYS.

3. Wear crazy neon crop tops to music festivals. Now's the time.

4. Take a lot of Instagram pictures. 'Tis the age for many unabashed selfies, so that when your adult child is spoon-feeding you Yankee Beans in the nursing home, have proof that you were once dewy-skinned and had a life.

5. Pick up a sport you've never played before, even if you suck at it. That way you don't have to drag yourself to yoga as often, you can meet a new bunch of people to drink with, and you can buy cute sneakers.

6. Eat whatever. Literally whatever. I have thought about mainlining super-cheesy, super-carby lasagna bolognese with more depth and nuance than I have thought about loved ones. Ignore the nutritional label and don't look back. EVER.

7. Drink a lot of green juice. Not to lose weight, but to balance out the bolognese. It probably sounds like it tastes like the Jolly Green Giant's jizz, but it's shockingly energy-boosting when fresh.

8. Spend time with your parents. Because they're getting older and you don't want to regret not doing it down the line.

9. Read Edith Wharton books. Specifically The Touchstone and New York Stories, because they're all about twentysomething men being weak and wishy-washy and women being smarter and more interesting than them. Also, ballgowns.

10. Keep a journal/sketchbook/scrapbook. Think about how much you are drinking in this decade. You'll want to remember things, and it will be hard if you don't keep some kind of record.

11. Buy a nice black blazer. Because it is the single easiest thing to throw on when you're hungover and your hair is covered in grease and regret, in order to instantly appear professional. Best $ I ever spent.

12. Dance to Missy Elliot in your house by yourself. Garbage bag optional.

13. Practice makeupless Sundays. Let your face breathe at brunch and running errands, dude. You will be surprised how nice your skin looks with just moisturizer on.

14. Five minutes of asana breathing every night before bed. The normal, shallow breaths we take all day are limiting our oxygen supply. I use this app when I remember to.

15. Change your hair drastically. Like go blonde or get bangs, or some other fun play on your identity. #Hair is #powerful.

16. Leave your phone at home for a day. I just broke out in hives typing that. But learn to live in the moment and smell the roses and all those kinds of things that the Olds know how to do.

17. Wear dark purple lipstick. 'Cause Rihanna and 'cause you can.

18. Have an old-school mixed drink with an egg in it. Like they do in various Old Countries.

19. Bond with your siblings by getting drunk together and sharing messed-up family secrets. Your agoraphobic uncle and his stacks of hoarded newspapers will bring you together.

20. Go on a road trip with your best friend(s). Eat Entemann's and throw the empty wrappers in the backseat.

Wait Till Marriage to Have Sex

I love my boyfriend a lot, and I know he loves me too. We are each other's first partners and have been together for more than three years. I have told him we should take our relationship to the next stage and have sex, but he is old-school; he says we should wait till our wedding because he wants that old, sweet feeling of taking a new bride to bed. We have just gone so far as second base — he always stops us before it intensifies. Does it sound weird to you? Sometimes I wonder if he is just not attracted to me or if he is insecure about the relationship. Or am I reading too much into this and should be grateful?

You've found an unusual guy, but I think you're drawing a stark contrast here when it's unnecessary. His desire to wait to have sex until marriage is not necessarily so horrible that you should be worried or so wonderful that you should be grateful.

I don't see why he'd want to marry you if he wasn't attracted to you, so you can probably scratch that fear off your list. If it's about some insecurity, it's probably more about his own issues than some concern about you or the relationship. When we talk about sex, we tend to think about our insecurities first, but maybe this is all about him: Maybe he's got an issue that he's having trouble discussing with you. Maybe he has a small penis or he's worried you'll be disappointed. Or maybe he's even in the closet. You shouldn't assume any of these are true — I'm just trying to underline how this could be more about him than you or even your relationship. It's unclear to me if he's deeply religious or if he just wants "that old, sweet feeling." I feel like I'm missing something here, and maybe you are too. You should try talking to him about his history with physical intimacy and his general opinions about what a healthy sex life might look like to get a sense of where he's coming from and why this is so important that he wants your relationship to be so different from most other people's.

I'm also not quite sure why you think that perhaps you should feel grateful, since you say that you would prefer to have sex with him. (Personally, I can't imagine marrying someone without having sex first.) It's OK to desire sex — healthy, even. You shouldn't feel grateful just because your more-traditional boyfriend disagrees with you and won't give you what you want. In fact, if sex with him is what you want, it seems like you have good reason to be unsatisfied. If you do think premarital sex is important, you should be just as aggressive about articulating your desire to your boyfriend as he is about explaining the opposite.

The bottom line: Your desires are just as important as his.

I've been with my boyfriend for almost two years and his 10-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter are just now (within the last two months) getting back in his life. I love that he spends time with them because he deserves to see his kids and they deserve their father in their lives, but I'm having a hard time coping with the fact that they are his No. 1 priority (and always will be) when I'm used to his top priority being me. I don't wanna say that I'm jealous, but I am. How can I get over this?

I think it's really mature that you're being honest about your feelings. Sometimes when we're feeling jealous, we don't like to admit it. So you're right to dig up these feelings and put them on the table. It's healthy to be honest with yourself — and I hope you're also sharing these feelings with your boyfriend.

You're going to have to adjust your expectations, and the two of you will need to have some thoughtful conversations about how you can adapt your relationship to make room for these two kids. Tell him you're feeling jealous, but don't frame this as a zero-sum problem because it's not one. He needs to know that you're having a hard time and you need to know that he cares. And there's a way to do that while also telling him that you respect his love for his kids.

If you are ready to be in a relationship that involves two young children, you can make this work. Obviously, you'll have to carve out some private time and make sure you get the attention you need, but remember that's the same for any relationship with kids, whether they're yours or not. Finding that balance is tricky for any parent. But people figure it out all the time.

As a parent myself, I bristle when people rank their loves or priorities: I honestly think it's a little unhealthy to think of his kids as his No. 1 priority and yourself as less important. It's not necessarily true. Certainly, you're more independent and his kids are a greater responsibility, and his love for his children will always be different from his love for you. They require a different sort of attention. But that doesn't mean that he loves you less now that they're back in his life.

I think we love people in different ways — and in ways that can't necessarily be measured or ranked. Comparing the love you have for your children and the love you have for your partner is a classic Beyoncé-vs.-Rihanna fallacy. Loving one doesn't mean you can't love the other just as much. Parental love is different from romantic love. People do both, simultaneously and with full hearts, all the time.

Balancing those different sorts of love takes work. You have to decide if you want to do that work, and, perhaps, learn to love his children too.

My friends all say the reason I never get asked out is that I'm unapproachable and scare off guys. This always seemed like a BS thing to say, but I worry they are right. I work in fashion, model part-time, and I'm a full-time business student, so I don't have a ton of time to meet guys, but the ones I do meet are typically shocked by all my jobs/commitments. How can I make guys see that I'm just a normal girl who wants what any other girl would want?

I've got some pretty intimidatingly attractive, professional female friends, and they often have the same complaint. They find that even their male equals — smart, attractive, ambitious professional guys — keep hitting on less-together women who are happier to take a back seat to their interests, be more impressed, and, well, less equal. (I imagine that you, like them, have found that people aren't terribly sympathetic to your complaint, but it's a real one.) A lot of this comes down to outdated, bullshit traditional gender roles, though I do think everyone's backed down from a crush or shied away from a flirtation at some point, thinking someone's out of their league.

It's absurd that guys sometimes avoid women who are so desirable, but I do think your friends are probably right that, ridiculous or not, it's just a fact of life for you. So what do you do? My successful friends who have found great guys tend to treat dating like the rest of their lives: They're proactive. It doesn't sound like you wait for good opportunities to come your way in your professional life, so don't wait for some guy to ask you out. Ask him out.

You've leaned into your career. Lean into your love life too.

How to Get Toned Arms like Bollywood Actress

• 
  Bollywoodshaadis.com - How to Get Toned Arms like Bollywood Celebs

How to take care of skin, hair and weight are among the most discussed topics everywhere. And, who better than Bollywood stars to take inspiration from? Girls dream of having toned legs like Deepika Padukone and a flat tummy like Shilpa Shetty, and many even workout towards that. But very rarely does anyone talk about slogging to get those celebrity-like toned arms.

Apart from the face, another place where signs of ageing are very evident, are the arms. Supple and firm arms give a young and fit look. Also, if you love to wear sleeveless or strapless outfits a lot, then you definitely would not want to be conscious about having flabby arms. If you are one of those who envy Bollywood divas for having the perfect arms, but never really know how to get them, you are on the right page! Here, we reveal the secrets behind well-toned, taut and sleeveless-friendly arms.

Triceps Kickbacks

This is the most-recommended and popular arm-shaping exercise, and quite easy to do.

Image Courtesy: Oxegenmag.com

• Pick a dumbbell weighing around 1-2 kg (or even a 1-2 litre water bottle).
• Stand with your feet parted, as wide as your shoulders.
• Bend forward, so that your back is parallel to the ground.
• Hold the dumbbells under your shoulder, just at the side of your chest.
• Suck-in your stomach and pull away the weight behind you, until your upper arm seems parallel to the ground.
• Slowly, bring the dumbbells back to the starting position.
• This is one complete repetition or “rep” as it is commonly called. Do three sets of 15 reps, three times a week to see results.

Best for: Shaping and toning shoulders and triceps, where the wobbly flab appears.

Shoulder Press

Another easy exercise and one of the most popular ones, shoulder press give great results when done right.

• Grab a pair of 1-2 kg dumbbells.
• Stand straight with your legs parted the same way as for triceps kickbacks.
• Hold each dumbbell in your arm with your palms facing front.
• Lift both arms at shoulder level, hold for 2-3 seconds, and then raise them above your head.
• Avoid giving jerks. Bring back to the shoulder level, and repeat.
• Do three sets of 15 reps, three times a week for best results.

Best for: Toning and firming arms and shoulders.

 

Inverted Row

This is another exercise to tone-up flabby triceps and bulky shoulders. If done right and regularly, it guarantees great results.

• Lie down flat under a firmly positioned rod/bar. This is easily available in the gym. Else, you can use the bar below your bed, or tie a strong and thick nylon rope at two ends in your room. Just make sure that it is very strong and tightly tied.
• Bend your knees to 90 degrees, keeping your feet on the floor.
• Hold the bar/rope, and lift yourself up slowly while breathing in, till your chest almost touches it.
• Slowly go back to the original position while breathing out.
• Do three sets of 15 reps, twice a week.
