Boss Management

Well, only a few know this but it's a fact. You manage your boss as much as he manages your work! Your interaction and approaches will take you a long way not only for appraisal , but even in the broader sense of your life goals. You must ensure that you tried on the path you choose and not merely wander aimlessly (while it's not a bad idea) be careful not to be pushed on to paths leading nowhere! Will share a few thoughts in a few hours!

Ditching the clingy BF!

S ubtle ways to dismiss the overbearing, clingy partner . You know it's over when you feel suffocated. That's what clingy guys do. They latch on feed off your energy and well, just suffocate you. This clingy-ness, can often leave you upset, irritated, sad or even physically drained. His constant phone calls and presence begin to take their toll on you and though you try and discuss it, you realise he isn't even bothered to listen, so him changing is a very distant thought. What's worse is that he makes every effort you make to leave, wearing down your already weary mind. You know he's doing this but you can help but feel responsible. Here's where you should stay strongest. Deep down you know what you have to do, so just do it. Rip it out like a band aid. When you're uneasy you must ask yourself these questions: 1) Is this cold feet or is he really a bad choice? 2) why do I feel suffocated? 3) Is he being manipulative? (Confirm with a girlfriend. ...

Things to do before a blind date

The basic check list before you agree to meet a total stranger I've had too many awful ones. Some not totally blind, but those meetings you gotta make not to hurt your mom or your bff who is trying so hard to set you up. 1) Pictures speak a thousand words : If he seems like the kind of guy you wouldn't wanna be seen with, he probably is. Dismiss. 2) Detective Mode : Check out social media for more real pictures, so there are no unpleeasant surprises later. Look for group pictures, a man is known by the company he keeps. 3) Tags and Shares : Blogs and memes shared or tagged in are an indicator of his sense of humour. If it's extremely cheap and inappropriate, I'd consider it a red flag. 4) Bitter posts: A what's app status that is mean, Bitter or cranky could be a sign of a bad break up. Avoid him unless you want to spend the evening listening about his depressing life. 5) Online Scam : If it's too good to be true, he probably isn't truthful. ...

Love is blind, thank God I'm not

When blind dates go bad, And I mean very bad. I'm beginning to think that blind dates are becoming a ritual for single women who are just a little tired of all the weirdos we've already met. You are on the look out, but there isn't anyone interesting in sight. So you let go of you inhibitions and say wtf may be I am a bit too uptight and may be destiny wants it this way. So when your friend suggests you meet this guys she knows who's a really good catch and has this in common with you, you say with some hesitance, "well, okay". Now here's the part of live to change and make it sound like it's not any less than a movie worthy story. But no, I'm sticking to what really happens. You see a picture, wonder why he has sunglasses on in the Monsoon, think okay  seems successful and honest, at least worth a meet. So you agree, set a date and time, dress up with the perfect mix of casual and interesting yet not desperate, and head only half an hour late to...

Suddenly, I'm single

I've been single forever, and sadly this is no exaggeration. I was always happy to hold the arm of some other stag and dance away at a party. It was the perfect arrangement. You have fun, he has fun and you leave out all the serious stuff for later. I consciously didn't date anyone as I genuinely believed it was a waste of time. As selfish as it may sound, I decided to invest my time in myself. I read, I learned, I studied, I took up posts like youth group President and School Rep, and other seemingly important things. I volunteered with social organisations, supported causes, and in my free time, which I hardly had any , I would trek and runs and swim. I'd third wheel on my BFF's dates. And off course, karaoke and FOOD took up the rest of my life. So it seemed to me like I was having fun, and my life was complete. I had a good job a fancy enough degree and I was living a fun life. Then suddenly one day I woke up to the realisation that everyone around me was getting ...
