Clothes  are made for tall people. Shorter people have no option but to spend more money and get them altered.

Even a job like flight attendant/ air hostess requires a girl to be of a particular height.

And don’t forget the “Looking for tall, slim, educated girl” ads in the matrimonial columns.

Because of this “heightism” or height discrimination in society, many girls start to believe that they are unattractive because they are not tall enough.

But is this the reality? Do men really prefer taller girls?

This question has been raised several times on several forums and the answer in unanimous – height has nothing to do with a girl’s attractiveness. As one guy puts it “as long as u are in good shape,pretty then you are attractive. “

Studies have shown that short women were the most likely to be married and have children. Some reasons which have been suggested for this situation include the fact that short women start puberty earlier than taller women who experience delayed fertility since they spend more energy growing, and that shorter women have a larger pool of men to choose from if they wish for a taller mate.

I think it’s supposed to be natural for women to prefer men who are taller than them, so it makes sense that men prefer women who are shorter.

On the contrary, all my female friends think that a girl’s attractiveness is decided by her height. These days I hear my friends commenting “she is lucky to be tall” , “i wish i was that taller”, “she is pretty but she is too short”. The concept with girls is that ‘the taller the better’.  This thinking is the result of media brainwashing us into thinking that only tall girls are worthy of being called beautiful.

So I would like to put forth this question to all of you, irrespective of your height. Do you think a girl needs to be tall to be considered attractive/hot/sexy?

The women shop at branded shops, go to parlors, take care of their skin and hair only to date a guy who doesn’t even care to get a decent haircut.

I am not generalizing. There are some cute guys around who know how to dress and have a bath regularly, but there’s a serious shortage that us women are facing.

The women starve and sweat to get a perfect body or body like Sheila or whatever you would like to call it while the men proudly sport a beer belly. Having your tummy bulging out of your pants, guys, is not cool and if you’re one of the millions who do suffer from this then go join a gym or go for a jog rather than making excuses.

Another thing, fake diesel, reebok, adidas bags and shoes will not impress women. It will most often shoo them away. If you can’t afford a branded bag then buy a cheaper one . We are not blind, we can make out the difference.

These days I see many guys walking around in college wearing slippers. Please keep your slippers where they belong, that is, your bathroom. You might have bought them from Puma but it’s better if you wear them while you are out on a stroll with your dog rather than wearing it on a date with your girlfriend.

And did I forget to mention that wearing tight tee shirts won’t magically make you look muscular.

The Indian men have potential and some have learnt to exploit it but the majority of them have not. I don’t expect much from men from our generation who have grown up watching ugly fat heroes romancing gorgeous heroines. But I hope our country’s future is not so awful as it is now.

Some cute guys for the ladies:

He is a Persian Model and actually looks better than our Ranbir.

I tried most of these sites and observed that how many of these actually work to your benefit and get you hits.

Best of the lot: Humsurfer

Works very well, registration is simple and quick, no hassles. A story I published got 8 stamps in 24 hours and gave me about 100 hits.

Problem with Indian bookmarking sites is that many of them (Newzly, NewsCola, IndianPad, ApnaStory, IndianBytes) close down after some time and are not reliable. Many new websites are entering the market and we hope that they are here to stay.

Usually I am not this hateful, but she looks bad in each and every picture of hers. She might be intelligent, confident etc. but in the end don’t forget its a ‘beauty’ contest. And I don’t find her beautiful by any angle.

I am not calling her ugly because she is dark. There have been many dark beauties from India like Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Freida Pinto etc. So its not about skin color. Her face is too manly looking to be called beautiful.

What my sources say (name disclosed) , “The girl had a lower respiratory tract infection and the doctor was told to take a pleural tap (to collect fluid around lungs) but  he pierced the needle in the wrong direction and entered the pericardium around heart.  He was a doctor from a private medical college and wasn’t very experienced in performing the technique.”

Vishnu Dhadwad, who was treating the patient, was locked in a room and beaten up by the relatives. Dr. Vishnu, who is physically challenged, sustained bruises and a fractured right hand.

The doctors at Sion Hospital who tried to intervene were also beaten up.

Doctors also complained of repeated lapse in security provided to doctors outside each ward in these hospitals.

This is the ninth such incident this year, Dr.Nalawade said, while reiterating MARD’s demand for better CCTV surveillance and security in hospitals. “We keep voicing our concerns but they fall on deaf ears.”

So whose fault is it?

The trigger was the doctor’s carelessness but the reaction was unlawful and uncivilized. But how is an uneducated poor man supposed to react when he hears that his daughter who was recovering has suddenly passed away?

Anyway, one hears more and more of such stories on the news of thieves, corrupt politicians beaten up by mobs. It seems like the only way to punish a person for the mob as they don’t really trust the legal system.

In a more developed country the relatives would sue the doctor but in India with a poor law system it’s impossible to find justice in such cases. Forget justice, loss of a child is devastating and unbearable for any person irrespective of his nationality.

Instead of tightening security, Doctor’s should try to provide better services to patients. Dr.Nalawade mentioned 9 instances where doctors were beaten up but what about the hundreds of lives that are lost due to their negligence and ill treatment by doctors?

If you have ever been to a Government Hospital in India, you would actually see where the problem lies. It’s not the doctor or the patient but the poor system that is at fault. A single doctor is expected to attend hundreds of patients everyday. It leads to frustration for both the doctor and the patient.

Such strikes will only cause more inconvenience for the poor and helpless man in India.

But with so many restaurants around, it can be confusing where to go especially for a couple.

Every couple looks for a restaurant where they can have a quiet dinner at a place which isn’t too crowded or noisy. Also, it should be a place where they can chat and sit for sometime without the waiter waiting for them to leave! Such places are difficult to find in Pune where every place is filled with noisy youngsters. Finding a good restaurant on a Sunday night is almost impossible with all the popular restaurants having waiting lists for hours.

Here’s my list of my favorite restaurants:

Bashos, Koregaon Park

It is a resto-bar with a mission to enchance your experience in Drinks, Mughlai and Hookah. It has good seating and a quiet and dark ambiance at an affordable price. Because of it’s rather remote location it’s not very famous. But once you get there it is worth it.

96 K Maratha, FC road

This is a small restaurant that serves great maharashtrian food. It’s new so not many people know about it.

Kuku Da Paratha, DP road

I never really understood why this place never got famous. It serves mouth watering parathas at affordable prices of Rs.50-80.

Swami’s, Zilla Parishad

Head to the AC/ top floor. This place is located at a not-so-cool location so it’s not very popular with youngsters. It’s pretty neat and peaceful. The food is tasty and the price is reasanable.

Badshah, E Street

This place is opposite Victory theater so it’s a pretty convenient place to grab a snack after watching a movie. It has a cute ambiance and perfect for a breezy evening.

Bavdhan Chaupati, Chandni Chowk

It’s a place that overlooks Chandni Chowk and can be pretty romantic late at night. It’s open till 1am so it’s a great place for those late night dinners.

Tip:  Never ever think of having dinner at a food court of a mall. It might sound convenient but the places are very overpriced and you would find people staring at you and waiting for you to get up.

Her face just looks weird now. Especially when she smiles. Just look at her lips, they look so unnatural. Her face looks chubby and plastic!

Here is another picture showing the before after comparison:

She looked HOT before. Her cheeks look totally different now. Seems like her face shape itself has changed with age or is it surgery?

Her hotness levels are fast falling and with girls like Jacqueline Fernandez and Nargis Fakhri waiting in line to replace her, her golden days in bollywood are soon coming to an end.

By the way, the new girl Nargis looks hot! Was impressed by her seeing the promos of Rockstar. Just hope she’s not another dumb pretty face like Katrina and that she can actually speak hindi and act.

But the job of finding such a website is not easy. There are many scams out there. Sites that pay you in pennies, such sites will only cause frustration and very few will have the patience to reach their minimum credit limit.

This week I have been trying out a few websites.
One of them is RedGage.com.
Its pretty neat and simple but earning money is a difficult task.

Basically you have to submit your own content to this website and you get money depending on the number of views your page gets. You can submit photos, blogs, links and videos. Sounds simple but it is pretty complex!

You earn very little per submission around o.o1$ approx. I have around 50 uploads and have earned 0.3$ till now.

But I am around 1 week old at this place so I can’t really figure out how to get faster cash.

One way is to get your content featured but God knows whats the criteria for that!

Another is the daily raffle contest but the rules baffle me.

So I am still on my way to figuring out this website.

How much will you earn?

You can get their visa card worth 25$, but getting there isn’t easy.
