14 things that boyfriends just don’t understand
It might just be true that men and women are from different planets because while men are so complicated, women are the simplest creatures on this planet. Yes we are and yet men somehow don’t seem to understand the simple and logical reasons behind our habits. Here are 14 things that boyfriends just don’t understand.
1) The reason why 10 minutes are just not enough for women to get ready
We are sure that for men 10 minutes can really change the world like a last minute goal, or that wicket in the last second. Fine we get it. However, the pressure of shaving our legs, finding the right outfit, styling our hair all in 10 minutes? Seriously! We haven’t even started with the makeup bit yet.
2) The inexplicable love for the Kardashian family
You’ve got your sports channels and we’ve got our “reality” TV – the Kardashians! If they go out so does your favourite channel without a blink.
3) The reason behind the large number of products on our bathroom shelves
You might need just one shampoo and a body wash or sometimes the 2-in-1 version of that but being a woman, also a polished one,is difficult. For instance, sometimes our hair is frizzy and sometimes too shiny and yes there are different shampoos for that.
4) The reason behind wearing heels even when they hurt
Beauty and pain go hand in hand and we don’t need your sympathy over that. Vanity comes first, mostly, sometimes not on the weekends.
5) Excessive use of Emoji’s
Text never conveys emotions properly. We just like to avoid confusion 😀 😛
6) The roller coaster ride we go through during our periods
Just like Rachel Green said “No uterus, No opinion”
7) Reason for watching our favourite sitcom over and over again
Sitcoms or rom-com movies are like our mentors, they give us our necessary dose of life lessons and style inspirations. There’s no way in hell we can stop watching those – on repeat.
8) The reason for carrying around a heavy handbag
We don’t like to carry junk in our purses although we do carry all the essentials we might just need at 2 AM on that night stay with YOUR friends.
9) Window shopping/ Shopping
Shopping is like therapy for women. It helps us grieve, it lifts our mood and it just brings mental peace overall which is good for you ultimately.
10) The difference between day creams and night creams
Isn’t that simple? One is for day and the other for night.
11) Packing for holidays
It’s not bad to be organised and we like being well prepared. So what if we start packing a couple of days before to tackle any unprecedented situations like an apocalypse.
12) Reason behind our long chats with girl-friends
You might get annoyed with this (discussing our private affair with friends) but they are the ones who help us talk through stuff and avoid yelling at YOU for stupid things.
13) Why we never have anything to wear even though there is a closet full of clothes
Well that’s something even we don’t have an answer
14) What eye-lash curlers are?
Let’s keep it short and simple, they curl our lashes so our eyes can look bigger.

Ariana grande donut video: She’s got 99 problems and licking donuts is definitely one!
Let’s just start by saying that licking other people’s donuts is NOT cool. That’s right, the 22 year old singer Ariana Grande was found licking some donuts recently at a local donut place in California!
Accompanied by her boyfriend, Ariana’s footage was captured by this TMZ security camera at the donut shop that did not leave her fans feeling very pleasant. She was spotted licking donuts from various parts of the donuts counter just like a small kid would if he/she was left unattended. Reportedly, she also said “I hate America” while performing this act. Again – that’s not cool!
Watch below – The Ariana Grande donut video!
But then like they say ‘to err is human’ and after realizing her mistake Ariana Grande posted a video on Youtube apologising for her behaviour. Boy, it’s a long apology. Take a look!

Weird things guys do while taking a shower!
Okay, let’s take this bro-to-bro (women who are reading this should probably have an open mind before proceeding further).
We all have our own little secret lives that we’re afraid of sharing with anyone and admit it, we are afraid that if people get to know even a tiny part of it – we will be judged like there’s no tomorrow (because all those secrets are simply weird)! Talking about ‘weird’, here’s a list of weird things guys do while taking a shower!
1. Pee – Yep, as disgusting as it may sound, guys do that! It may or may not be a regular phenomenon but it’s safe to assume that it DOES happen.
2. Make lather bombs with the shampoo on our hair – That’s kind of juvenile but who cares. There’s no one watching us!
3. Fantasise (a lot) – Shower is the only place where men experience total solitude without caring about anything! And yes imagination plays an extremely important role to let a little bit of steam off our…..let’s just say heads!
4. Stay blank & waste time – Staying in the shower for those extra minutes doing absolutely nothing is another thing men love to do! Sometimes we are just not ready to step out and face the cruel world!
5. Panic – When we crave for a hot shower and suddenly realise that the hot water is running out and there’s only luke warm water, boy oh boy – hell brakes lose! We go into a panic mode thinking we might just freeze in a few minutes!
6. Embrace their inner Beyonce – Yeah, we love to sing privately for sure if not publicly. We might just start signing the shadiest songs and feel extremely happy about it.
7. Think about beer – Men love beer! And with a bucket of fried chicken along would make life perfect! Some of us even HAVE beer while taking a shower. Awesome, innit?
8. Poop (sometimes in the middle of the shower) – Guys are the ultimate poop-masters and they’re not really ashamed of admitting/talking about it! Running out to take a dump while in the middle of a shower is rare for us but not like it doesn’t happen, EVER!
9. Re-thinking our life decisions – *sigh* We sometimes get into this pensive mode that makes us reconsider a lot of serious sh*t about our lives. Believe us, it ain’t a good thing!
10. Pretending to be a superhero – Water bombs, trying to collect water in our palms and throwing it everywhere like a boss! TheIron Manin us suddenly takes a new avatar!
11. Check out our own body – Yep, that prerogative isn’t just for the ladies! We too can stand in front of the mirror for a substantial amount of time while in the shower to check ourselves out. We also flex our muscles from time to time.
12. Gargle with the shower water – Filling up our mouths with the shower water and spraying it out in slo-mo is something that keeps us amused throughout!
13. Try different hairstyles – Sometimes wet hair gives us deep inspiration about various hair styles we can try out! Sh*t happens once we step out and realise that the style was probably an illusion since you just can’t get it right anymore! Bummer!
14. Play with the hand shower – Some might imagine themselves to be Sylvester Stallone from Rambo and some take the hand showers for a stage mic! Bottom line – hand showers are meant to be played with!

USA vs Japan: Giant robots fight to the death!
Remember as kids we used to watch shows involving giant robots fighting, like Transformers and Power Rangers? Well as adults now we get to watch them in real life!
“Suidobashi, you have a giant robot, we have a giant robot. You know what needs to happen.”
– With these words the US Company MegaBot challenged the world’s only other giant robot maker in Japan called Kuratas Mecha.
“We can’t let another country win this. Giant robots are Japanese culture. Yeah, I’ll fight” said Kogoro Kurata as he accepted the duel.
And thus a new era of combat sports is born with giant fighting robot teams!
Details regarding the fight are still being decided between the two parties. As for the venue, they have the perfect place in mind – International waters. To fight on a ship or an aircraft carrier in the middle of the pacific, the battle is going to be breathtaking for sure!
The fight will take place in one year, giving both sides ample amount of time to prepare their bots to fight each other toe to toe and in their best condition possible (reminds us of that time when Optimus Prime kicked Megatron’s a** in the Transformers movie).
It simply doesn’t get any better than this now, does it?

Things you need to get through monsoon in style
While most people look forward to the rainy season, the anticipation and excitement gets over after the first couple of days. Like every season, monsoon comes with its own negatives and positives. The rain washes away heat and provides the much needed relief but it leaves everyone feeling sticky and moist. Here are a few tips for monsoon that will ensure you get through the season looking and feeling effortlessly stylish.
1) Clothes
Just like summer and winter, we need to change the way we dress during monsoon. Opt for clothes that are made of lighter fabrics like blended cotton and polyester. These fabrics dry up faster if you get soaked in rainwater and don’t crush very easily. Refrain from layering too much to feel light and easy when the weather gets sticky.
2) Hair
Monsoon is almost synonymous with frizzy hair. If your hair doesn’t curl up like instant noodles in the humidity, believe us you’re one of the few lucky people out there. For all the others, avoid using hair sprays, lacquers, gel and other hair products as they stick to the scalp and form a layer of product buildup that is very difficult to get rid of. Tie your hair in a top knot, or a sleek ponytail and remember to keep it very simple. If you like to keep them open, spray some dry shampoo on your hair brush before running it through your hair to keep the scalp dry.
3) Shoes
Needless to say, avoid covered leather and suede shoes/heels during monsoon. Water does permanent damage to this kind of material and you might not be able to wear them ever again. If you really can’t do without them, we suggest wearing light rubber or plastic slippers when you’re outdoors and changing into your preferred shoes later.
If you like to make a statement, invest in a pair of rain boots. They go very well with skirts, dresses and denims.
4) Makeup
Stay away from foundations during rainy season as it might flow down with the water. Swap that with a compact powder and use a very light moisturiser. Keep your choice of lip and nail colours neutral and use waterproof mascara and eye liner.
5) Bags
Just like your shoes, avoid leather and suede bags. Carry waterproof bags and be sure to keep your mobile phones and important gadgets covered with protective plastic so they don’t get ruined.
6) Raincoats/ Umbrellas
Carrying an umbrella is a must during monsoon. You may choose a style according to your preference and requirements. If you’re too lazy to carry an umbrella around then opt for a rain coat or a trench coat.
