1. We can’t stop looking at his pictures with his kids
There are ways to make a conversation better in order to keep it interesting but what if someone comes up with a question that ruins the whole experience of exchanging words? Here are 10 questions that everybody tries to avoid!
1. Why do you smoke?
Now, that question has been left unanswered so many times that you’ve lost count.
Government has clearly failed to understand why banning porn is a very sad thing (at least most of us guys think so). Guys, we feel you (no pun intended). Many people used the power of Internet to share their views about the porn ban on the social networking site Twitter.
Take a look at how India reacted to porn ban in these 15 hilarious tweets!
1. Talk about real problems.
2. Touché
3. Hitting the nail on the head!
4. Not sure if that’s a great business idea
5. Ironic
6. Any regrets?
7. Now that’s some consolation
8. The million dollar question!
9. And blocked us!
10. Answer THAT!
11. If that doesn’t make your heart sink, we don’t know what will
No matter how old or young you are, sleepless nights are part of everyone’s lives. And things get difficult when time runs slow and you have no idea what to do other than changing sides in bed. So we came up with ten ways you can kill time at night if you’re unable to sleep. Take a look at these tried and tested things people do.
1. Watch a movie.
The easy way out is to watch a movie and be done with it. Still can’t sleep? Watch another. And come on, you have the power of the internet. There are so many *things* to watch, If you know what we mean.
People who love a little drive at night; this is your time to be on the road cruising all by yourself or with a buddy who is as sleepless as you are. Your night is made. Well, if you don’t get pulled over by the cops. It’s worth a shot though!
If you’ve got no one to talk to, no movies to watch; food is your saviour. It makes you happy and why’d you stop doing something that makes you happy. So eat and kill time. That is if being a loner-foodie works for you. Kidding, most of us prefer food over people.
5. Staying up all night so you can just sleep in the morning
It’s 5 in the morning and finally you sense sleep in your eyes. But still fighting it because after one night you’re a believer in ‘Sleep’s for the weak’ and next thing you know, you’re waking up with regrets. It happens with the best of us.
Have to kill time anyway, why not buy yourself some new socks! Laying in bed with your laptop on top of you while you raid the internet for buying something that you may or may not need. They don’t cost much, I’ll buy 6 pairs!
This is the only ‘free’ time you have. Why not make something out of it? If need be, you can organise your entire room in just no time. And who knows what buried treasure you may find in that pile of laundry.
Music makes the world go around but sadly it doesn’t make time move any faster. What you can do is put on some great music and dance if want to dance. Nobody’s watching. Or someone is.
You have done everything in your power and now you’re probably begging for sleep.Counting how many hours of sleep you can get if you sleep now is what we all do. But when has that ever worked!

Whether you’ve got long beautiful locks or a trendy pixie, all women probably have their own unique hair challenges from frizzy hair to taming those unruly curls. Hair myths like ‘avoid plucking grey hair strands’ and ‘sun-exposure is good for the tresses’ have unfortunately been accepted under the pretext of wisdom. Here is a list of hair myths and the clear truths behind them that to make caring for the beautiful locks easier.
#Myth 1: If you pluck out one grey hair, two more will sprout in its place.
Truth: The fact is that plucking those grey hair strands is just a bad habit and you also end up damaging the roots which may cause bleeding and infection.
#Myth 2: Brush your hair with 100 brush strokes every day.
Truth: Sorry Rapunzels, but this just isn’t true as brushing your hair many times a day may just increase your hair breakage up to four times and did we mention the never ending split ends?
#Myth 3: If you keep using the same shampoo, it stops showing the desired results.
Truth: There is no correlation between bad hair and repeatedly using the same shampoo. On the other hand, it is very important to choose and use a shampoo that suits your hair type like dry, frizzy or coloured. But if you love your shampoo, just stick with it. They say, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’.
#Myth 4: Exposure to sunlight is the healthiest way to lighten your hair color.
Truth: The scalp is very sensitive; direct exposure to the sun may damage the skin without you even knowing it. Excessive sun exposure can also lead to dry hair and itchy scalp problems. Skip the sun and go for an ammonia-free hair colour if you want light-coloured tresses.
#Myth 5: Keeping your hair tied up will reduce dandruff.
Truth: Tying your hair up in a bun may just hide the dandruff but it won’t cure it. Instead try using an anti-dandruff shampoo on a regular basis till you see the difference.
#Myth 6: Pulling your hair in a ponytail will lead to bald spots.
Truth: There is no relation between scrunching your hair into a ponytail and bald spots. Yes, letting your hair loose and allowing it to breathe is very important as it improves hair growth. We’d rather suggest staying away from metal or hard plastic hair ties that cause a lot of hair breakage.
Mild exposure to the sun is essential to the human body as it is a source of vitamin D. But on the other hand, over exposure to the sun can cause damage to the skin resulting in skin tan and burns. Skin tan is a common problem in summers as one might not always be able to escape the heat. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause early aging and skin burns. Here is a list of home remedies that can help you get rid of sun tan quickly and easily.
#1 Take half a cup of chilled yogurt, a pinch of turmeric and mix well in a bowl. Apply the paste on the affected (tanned) areas and let it dry for at least 20 minutes. Wash it off with cold water. Use daily for desired results.
#2 Take half a grated cucumber and add 2 tablespoons of raw milk or milk powder to it. Apply the mixture evenly all over the affected area and let it dry. Wash it off with lukewarm water and apply weekly to get the desired results.
#3 Cut a tomato into two halves and rub the inner side of the tomato on the skin. Make sure that the seeds and juice comes in contact with the skin because that’s where the antioxidants stay. Apply daily for best results.
#4 Add some raw milk into papaya’s pulp it to make it into a paste. Now gently massage the mixture over the tanned areas. Papaya is rich in vitamin A and C and also has anti-tanning properties. Use daily for at least a month for best results.
#5 Turmeric is a natural skin care product and is capable of curing almost all common skin problems. Take 1 tablespoon of turmeric, half a tablespoon of lemon juice, some raw milk and mix well. Apply this paste over areas like your hand feet and face and rinse off once it has dried.

Listed below are some very easy home remedies that you can prepare using turmeric to get flawless and glowing skin.
Acne and oil control

Turmeric improves skin elasticity
Turmeric helps in keeping your skin looking young and fresh as it contains many antioxidants which help in stimulating new cell growth and hence keeping the skin’s elasticity intact.
Controlling facial hair
Prepare a mixture of turmeric powder, gram flour, rose water and mix well into dough like consistency. Daily application of this mixture can considerably reduce facial hair growth which is a problem faced by many women.
