  • Have you heard about friends with emotional benefits? Here are the Dos and Don’ts

    Have you heard about friends with emotional benefits? Here are the Dos and Don’ts

    Friends with emotional benefits is a newer version of ‘friends with benefits’. It is safe to assume that we have all heard about the concept of ‘friends with benefits’, more commonly known as FWB. It wasn’t just designed for Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman to star in clichéd chick flicks, the arrangement does exist and we are not sure if it works. Just like many relationships, the common outcome of FWB also, at times, is one of the two parties getting hurt. So why are these not called relationships? The only reasons they are not called relationships are because they are officially commitment-free, questions-free and hassle-free. You don’t need to explain FWBs to your friends; you don’t need to introduce this “friend” to your other friends or need to explain anything. It’s just casual sex with a person you’re comfortable around. Period.

    The complication arises when one of the two parties starts expecting more than the laid rules. Again, like a relationship, expectations don’t get delivered and the usual shit hits the ceiling and the FWB arrangement ends. There are rare cases when they do end on a mutual agreement too but like we said, these are rare. And the discomfort about ending these on a bad note is the physical part, the whole reason you got into one. When FWB gets too much for you to take or if you’re not ready to share your private, physical space with someone but still need the benefits of a non-committed relationship; friends with emotional benefits kicks in.

    ‘Friends with emotional benefits’ is really a relationship without the sex and the commitment. So you get the pampering part, the whining part, the inside jokes, the late calls but no sex. It’s like being in a relationship in your head but not on paper. This arrangement remains comfortable for people who are not up for sharing their physical space with a friend yet need emotional support to get through things in life. But like all other arrangements, this also comes with its list of dos and don’ts.

    #1 Confide but do not expect

    In an FWeB, you may confide in this friend and talk about him/her about any problems; personal or professional and ask for their advice. Where you need to stop is expecting them to do the same. FWeBs do not qualify for a two-way street. The other party might offer you tips to get through your problems but it does not necessarily mean that you get to offer your opinions too (until asked for).

    natalie-portman-no-strings-attached-gif

     

    #2 Both the parties are allowed to have physical relationships with other people, but honesty is the key

    The entire point of having an FWeB is to give the emotions an outlet. Sex or hook-ups with your FWeB is a big NO. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t venture out for your physical needs. If you or your friend are physically involved with other people, it’s okay but be honest about it. Let your FWeB know that you are and come to a mutual agreement about it.

    mila-kunis-justin-timberlake-friends-with-benefits-gif

     

    #3 FWeBs do not turn into real relationships unless both of them want it to be like that

    Having friends with emotional benefits is actually harder than having a friend with just physical benefits because the boundaries get blurred here. Friends with emotional benefits are not relationships and should not be confused for being one. They are just people you can talk to and get out of it whenever you want (with a mutual agreement of course). If you wanted to be with this person for real, wouldn’t it have been a commitment?

     mila-kunis-friends-with-benefits-gif

     

    #4 Know where to draw the line

    In an FWeB, you’re essentially just friends. Maintaining that is important. Do not take this equation to realms that confuse things, and if that happens, we suggest end it. Emotional benefits can last for very long or for a very short duration depending on how comfortable people are. Stick to them till the time they are stress-free because that’s the actual point of them.

  • Six ways to overcome a bad breakup

    Six ways to overcome a bad breakup

    Breakups are hard and there is no denying that. Separating yourself from your significant other is not only a change in your daily routine but also your habits that develop after many lovely days spent together. While at times breakups come as a relief from a long, painful relationship; there are changes that might make one feel a little lost in the recovery process. And it is absolutely normal. Everybody goes through the pain of overcoming a bad breakup and we feel that it is important at some level. The one thing that can make overcoming a bad breakup easy is not looking at it in a negative light. When you’re going through a breakup ask yourself if you really need a complicated, unrewarding relationship. We are sure the answer will be no and if it is, move on. Take a look at the positive side and understand yourself better. Here are ways to overcome a bad breakup and come out of it feeling light and refreshed.

    PS: There is no fast way of getting through a breakup. It is a gradual process and taking time to grieve is very normal.

    #1 Understand the importance of being in a rewarding relationship

    Breaking up isn’t always as bad as it is touted to be. Being in a relationship that doesn’t make you feel emotionally empowered is worse than being in no relationship at all. Think about your equation with your parents or your best friend. If your significant other doesn’t reciprocate feelings the same way they do, they do not deserve to be “significant” in your life. Understand it and move on and find someone who would treat you as an equal.

     

    #2 Socialise but spend some time with yourself too

    It’s a common perception that getting too busy is the best way of getting out of a daunting breakup. It is true, but not entirely. Filling the new void in your life with friends and work is all right, but it is essential that you become comfortable with the idea of not having another person around. Spend some time alone, by yourself to make your peace with it and move on in a healthy fashion. And by healthy, we do not mean with a bottle of vodka, a jar of Nutella and a rom-com with Jennifer Aniston.

    #3 Take time to grieve

    It’s okay to hold your own while going through an emotional trauma, but taking time to grieve is vital. You will think about moments from the past and it will make your cry and it is best to just do it! Call up a friend and talk to them about how you feel, cry if you feel like. Believe us; it’ll be better than crying in front of Tom from work with a glass (read bottle) of wine in your hand. Think about what’ll happen on Monday after, therefore, just stick to friends for the grief.

     

    #4 Don’t be disheartened by your breakup, take it in a positive stride

    Breakups happen because two people cannot understand everything about each other. And both the people are at fault, stop punishing yourself alone. Instead, take this as learning to a better relationship, when you have one. Reflect on what went wrong and correct it so next time when love comes your way, you treat it well.

     

    #5 Start a fitness regime

    Join a gym or a fitness studio and get going. Exercise is an underutilised antidepressant and you must make good use of it. We’d recommend a mix of yoga, zumba, cardio and strength workouts to keep the excitement alive. You’ll learn something new, make new friends and get a good change. Go out, get fit, feel healthy and embrace a new lifestyle.

    #6 Write about how you feel Another underutilised way to overcoming a bad breakup is writing.You will feel the need to make an angry phone call or leave an angry text message but take it from us, it will not help. It might make things worse actually. Space yourself out from your SO for a bit and instead of the angry call/text, write how you feel on a piece of paper. By writing we do not mean send it out via post, NO! Just write and vent out. We are sure you’ll feel better. 
     

    All said and done, breakups are tough but relax, the worst is over. You need to look at all the new adventures that are waiting. We hope this guide to overcoming a bad breakup helps you. Take care of yourself, breathe and smile.

  • Bollywood’s young lovebirds Alia and Sidharth spotted together

    Bollywood’s young lovebirds Alia and Sidharth spotted together

    Bollywood’s young lovebirds Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt who debuted together in Student of The Year, were recently spotted outside Karan Johar’s office in Mumbai. Reportedly, the two will be seen sharing the screen in Karan Johar’s upcoming movie Kapoor and Sons so we are guessing they were spotted outside the office for work. Dressed in a navy blue shirt, Sidharth looked his usual self and Alia looked chic in a red and blue check shirt. Their appearance was momentary as they were seated inside the car engrossed in a conversation.

    As of now, Alia is currently working on her upcoming movie Udta Punjab while Sidharth Malhotra is busy with Baar Baar Dekho alongside Katrina Kaif.

  • Fitoor’s second single is out and the video is as great as the song!

    Fitoor’s second single is out and the video is as great as the song!

    Just when we’d stopped gushing about Fitoor’s trailer, the first single of the movie, ‘Yeh Fitoor Mera’ was released. And the song is already a part of many people’s playlist. Now the movie is out with its second single, ‘Pashmina’, which by the way is as soft as the cloth itself. If you don’t believe us, you need to put it on right away. And once you’ve heard it, it’s Amit Trivedi you need to put your hands together for. He has given his voice and mind to the song and we can easily say it paid off pretty well. But it’s not just the song that you’ll be hooked to, it’s also the video. You will have Katrina Kaif leave you speechless with your jaw dropped to the ground with her moves while Aditya Roy Kapur charms you effortlessly (being his usual self). With all that information, we don’t think it’s good to make you wait so, here it is, check it out!  

     

  • 6 signs that indicate your need to have one-night stands

    6 signs that indicate your need to have one-night stands

    While sex is not a topic people like to speak about publically, everyone knows that they need some and there is nothing wrong with it. There are a million studies that indicate the benefits of having sex. People, who have sex on a regular basis, live longer, experience lesser heart issues, have lower anxiety and are generally happy and satisfied. While all these factors are understandable, the one issue is that to have sex you need another person. And depending on where you are in your life, it’s not always important to be in a steady relationship to get your fix. There is a lot of social stigma related to one-night stands but hey, if two people can get through it on the basis of a mutual understanding then why not?

    One-night stands are best recommended for people who are not certain about where they are in their lives, well emotionally. They offer the comfort of not sitting through relationship talks/dates, not staying in bed the next morning, not emotionally investing in a commitment and just politely getting their physical fix and moving on.

    The problem also lies in deciding whether you’re ready for a one-night stand. Are you okay with getting physically involved with a stranger? Will you be able to drive yourself out of it no-strings-attached? Here are six signs that you’re ready for a one-night stand.

    #1 You’re not ready to get into an emotional commitment

    To be able to have a one-night stand successfully, you have to be one hundred percent sure that you’re ready to fully ignore the emotion bit. One-night stands hold a no-emotion rule, if you’re free of them; you’re ready to get some.

     

    #2 You’re absolutely sure about your expectations

    Let’s face it, one-night stands, in plain words, mean CASUAL sex. So if you’re up for something that is as casual as getting up and going home after the jig is up (no pun intended) you’re ready for it. Even if you experience a hint of jitters or doubt, do not get into it.

     

    #3 Adventure is what you’re looking for

    It goes without saying, one-night stands are adventurous. They are not like a backpacking or hiking activity, but you might end up exploring things you never knew. YES, that happens. Ready to explore some downtown adventure? If the answer is yes, take the hint and start working.

     

    #4 You’re getting out of an emotional rollercoaster and need a distraction

    We all know that getting out of a deep and emotional relationship isn’t easy. If you’re dealing with something that is over and is still causing a stir in your brain, get the much-needed distraction from a hookup. Not just us, many studies have also proven the fact that one-night stands are a natural coping mechanism for breakups or even other emotional turmoils. However, please keep in mind that these are a casual distraction, do not confuse them for a relationship.

     

    #5 You’re looking for a change                                                                 

    Everyone needs a small change once in a while. Whether it’s having a relationship or the lack of it, one-night stands can help. Getting physically close to someone makes your body feel a rush of hormones that have been known to uplift spirits and mood.

     

    #6 You think double standards are BS, if a man can do it so can a woman!

    For some reason, we have been tuned into thinking that one-night stands are fine for men but not for women. Well, that, is, BULL****! If a man can get out of something without giving two hoots to any feelings, so can a woman. Mutual consensus and body needs should not care about what the society thinks. The society doesn’t have to live with your choices, you have to, make yours!

     

  • The best and worst looks from the Filmfare Pre-Awards Party 2016

    The best and worst looks from the Filmfare Pre-Awards Party 2016

    The awards season is upon us and how. After the many red carpets the Filmfare red carpet is here and we are thrilled to say the least. The Filmfare Pre-Awards Party was held recently and we’ve rounded up the best and worst looks from the red carpet so far. Take a look.

    1) Sonam Kapoor in Michael Costello

    As always, Sonam Kapoor dazzled the red carpet in a black Michael Costello gown with makeup and hair done to perfection.

    2) Bhumi Pednekar in separates by Roshni Chopra and AM:PM

    Ditching the gowns and the dresses was actress Bhumi Pednekar in separates. Surprisingly, she made separates work that are normally hard to carry, and looked stunning.

    Filmfare nominations- Inp img2

    3) Aditi Rao Hydari in a power suit

    Giving us another fresh look on the red carpet was Aditi Rao Hydari donning a power suit by Encrustd. Here styling, makeup, hair everything was dot on point.

    Filmfare nominations- Inp img3

    4) Radhika Apte in Neha Taneja

    Wearing a brocade dress by Neha Taneja was Radhika Apte. We’re not sure if it were the puffed sleeves or the gold footwear, but the dress didn’t quite stand out for us. A leaner silhouette would’ve flattered her beauty more. What say?

    Filmfare nominations- Inp img4

    5) Sonakshi Sinha in Zara Umrigar, yet again

    Donning a crop top and skirt combo by Zara Umrigar was Sonakshi Sinha. While we love the outfit on her, we’re not sure if the styling and the footwear choice did her justice. This would be a no for us, what about you?

    Filmfare nominations- Inp img5

    6) Athiya Shetty in Philipp Plein

    Another black gown sighting, Athiya Shetty looked rather bland. We’re not sure if it’s her attitude that’s dragging down the look but the overall effect of the otherwise great outfit just didn’t work.

But till the time you catch the repeat telecast, here are a few moments from last night. Just don’t spill your coffee while you’re at it!

     

    #1 It doesn’t sound creepy when Sam Smith says it!

      #8 It's Saul Goodman! With him always is! (Please, realize that we made a pun there, please?)
     
      #9 So, does this mean that Ted is in 23rd Jump Street!?
     
      #10 Something has got Rob Lowe's undying attention.
     
      #11 And you thought only you were excited for the Golden Globes?
     
      #12 That indeed is a very good question to ask on a platform like that!
     
      #13 That moment when you're going to make hilarious Caitlyn Jenner jokes, yep.
     
      Golden Globes 2016 were massive and these are the least of things you've missed. Make time and catch up with the Awards so you don't regret later!    

  • Five most annoying celebrity couples

    Five most annoying celebrity couples

    Do you like getting an insight of your favourite celebrities’ lives? We are sure most of you do, but too much of anything will make you sick. Be it the same track playing repetitively on every other radio station or the media updating you about the same old celebrity couples leaving you queasy and absolutely annoyed. Here’s our list of five most annoying celebrity couples.

     

    1) Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh

    Ranveer Singh goes on a shopping trip with Deepika’s family, flies down to Bengaluru from Malaysia just to get a glimpse of Deepika and the two still call themselves single. Doesn’t this bear enough proof about their relationship? It’s high time they decide upon their relationship status and shed off the tag of being a rumoured couple.

    2) Kanye West and Kim Kardashian

    You can hate them, you can love them but you can’t ignore them. This couple will keep annoying you with their ego clashes. Watch Bound 2 and you will experience the Kardashian-West effect once again.

    3) Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

    Isn’t it hideous seeing Johnny Depp cut ties with his wife for Amber Heard who is supposedly 23 years younger than him? Both of them could have done so much better.

    4) Taylor swift and all her ex-lovers

    Taylor swift has had a long list of ex-lovers and to our surprise all her relationships start with a bang and end with a whimper. However, we can only hope for her to find her soul mate so the social media posts STOP for good.

    5) Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor

    Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor’s relationship got annoying just as they started seeing each other as the two were spotted more on the media for their romance and less on the screens. Now denying a Bollywood relationship is very obvious but kissing on the balcony and then acting coy. NOT DONE!

    Let’s admit it, it is kind of funny to see how people think they could possibly lose a friend just by saying 3 words to them. These three words could be any random words that may press someone’s nerves so hard that they could end up losing that friend.

    #9 The Flash – Season 2B (January 19th)

    The Flash made it big from the very first episode and after one and half season gone, people have been waiting for the second half of the second season. Every fan knows how huge this series is and how maddening it is whenever Arrow and The Flash come together. And not to sound like a geek but they are starting a team and they’ll have a separate show (Legends of Tomorrow) which is coming out this year. HOW COOL IS THAT, HUH!?

    Daredevil is Marvel’s first job at the small screen and whoever has watched the first season, knows that it was a job well done. The series is pretty heavy and amazingly brought to us by Netflix.

  • Looks like we will be seeing Deepika Padukone with Vin Diesel in xXx: The Return of Xander Cage

    Looks like we will be seeing Deepika Padukone with Vin Diesel in xXx: The Return of Xander Cage

    A picture of Deepika Padukone and Vin Diesel surfaced in December 2015 and needless to say speculation of her acting in the Fast & Furious franchise began. While nothing was confirmed by Deepika herself, many rumours made rounds until Twitter came to rescue.

    And it’s not Fast & Furious but xXx: The Return of Xander Cage that Deepika will be starring in. It has been confirmed by director D. J. Caruso himself. Take a look at this tweet to get all your answers.

     

    What’s more, iMDb has also included Deepika’s name in the full cast and crew for the movie.

  • Fitoor’s first song is out and you’ll just have to watch the video to see how amazing it is!

    Fitoor’s first song is out and you’ll just have to watch the video to see how amazing it is!

    Aditya Roy Kapur and Katrina Kaif’s upcoming movie ‘Fitoor’ has been making headlines ever since its trailer came out and now there’s more adding to the anticipation. Fitoor’s first song video ‘Yeh Fitoor Mera’ was launched recently and can we just say “deep breaths everyone”?

    Amit Trivedi has done an amazing job on the music so far and lending his voice to Aditya Roy Kapur’s character ‘Noor’ in the song is none other than Arijit Singh. It’s hard to imagine a song sung by Arijit Singh not doing well and if you add Kat and ARK to the visuals, you’ll see magic. Take a look at the video.

  • Netflix India: Is our country really ready for Netflix?

    Netflix India: Is our country really ready for Netflix?

    The US-based video streaming company Netflix launched its operations recently in India and we couldn’t be more excited!

    Starting at Rs. 500 per month, Netflix India has framed its packages very similar to their American plans. Reportedly, Netflix India is also looking forward to getting on board with more Indian partners to diversify their collection for the Indian market; adding more Bollywood movies in their database.

    But, what caught our attention in this whole Netflix India outburst were a few points that were directed to only one question: Is India really ready for Netflix?

    Here’s why.

    #1. Minus the metro cities in India, do tier II & tier III cites have enough bandwidth to stream HD TV shows and movies in their homes?

    #2. Will the online piracy affect Netflix India’s operations? There are several websites that are already offering free online streaming of shows/movies (so we’ve heard).

    #3. The fact that Netflix India is still in the process of tying up with its Indian partners, do we really have a large target audience that follows American TV series/movies?

    Though, everything aside, we’re going to sign up with Netflix India right about now. We think it’s one of the coolest New Year presents we’ve received in 2016 so far! Thank you, Netflix.
