What Successful People do with their Morning.

In case you thought your mornings were busy, read on to get an idea of what successful people pack in first thing in the morning

It's got to do with the positive power of the sun, and the reservoir of energy you build up after sufficient shuteye. Which is why most tasks, when taken on first thing in the morning, turn out far more productively than if you were to tackle it, say late afternoon.

Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, for instance, was up at 5 am to listen to Farming Today on BBC Radio 4. Here's how successful names across the arts, bureaucracy and sports leverage their mornings.

Mrunalini Deshmukh, Divorce lawyer
Wakes up at 4:45 am
She's possibly the woman every warring couple wish they could run to, especially after the launch of her sell-out book, Breaking Up: Your step-by-step guide to getting divorced, which is possibly why she begins her day with a caffeine kick. "I down the coffee, and am at my desk by 5.30 am, going through my case papers, depending on what I am tackling that day. It's only after this is out of the way, that I can get down to some yoga or head out for a walk," she admits. Brushing up on the Domestic Violence Act (1954) at 5 am may seem extreme, but for the woman who's represented celebrities like Aamir Khan, it's all in a day's work. "The one hour after waking up is when my energies and focus are the sharpest," says Deshmukh, who is at court by 9.30 am. "I've been following this routine for eight years. The only day I skip it is on a Sunday."

8 reasons why Girls Prefer Funny Guys

What is it about guys with a sense of humour that makes girls go weak in the knees? Funny guys have a certain charm about them that no girl can deny. 

Here are the reasons why girls are hooked to witty guys.

Funny guys are entertaining: Going out with a funny guy never gets boring. His spontaneity is infectious and he can play practical jokes with a straight face. He can make you laugh at the drop of a hat. Dating a funny guy is exciting because you are constantly on your toes to keep up with his shenanigans.

They are creative: Ask any writer what's the most difficult genre to bring out and he will most likely say, comedy. It's one thing to tell 'Yo Mama' jokes and indulge in bathroom humour and another to find a one liner that elicits belly laughs. If your guy is funny, he's probably vastly knowledgeable in a variety of subject matters and can mimic them well. 

They are social: A funny guy is usually the life of the party. He can ease awkward social situations with a well-placed joke at the right time. Dating a 'wise guy' is easy and you never have to worry about leaving him alone in a room full of strangers. Funny guys know what makes people tick so he will break the ice and get them chuckling by the time you are back.

Women seek sexual liberty on vacations: Study

For some female tourists, travel is like finding their lost sexual liberty - in one night stands - and "feel like a man", says a fascinating study.

According to a researcher from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, some women feel free from sexual double standards at home and are ready for no-strings-attached sexual encounters.

"While for some, sexual activity has to be related to feelings and some degree of attachment," said Liza Berdychevsky, an assistant professor in the department of recreation, sport and tourism.

She, along with Heather Gibson from University of Florida and Yaniv Poria of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, conducted in-depth interviews with 34 US and Israeli women for her study.

She found that some tourist destinations and experiences promote "an altered sense of reality... while minimising perceptions of risk and long-term consequences", said a report in Sydney Morning Herald.

Some tourist experiences offer a very unique social context that is often very different from everyday life, researchers noted.

According to Berdychevsky, "We should address that sense of invincibility that young people tend to have and make them understand that not everything that happens on vacation will stay there."

Bored of sex life? Mix love to it

The new mantra for women who feel their sex life is boring and bereft of passion: connect love with sex and enhance the pleasure between the sheets.

According to an interesting study, love and commitment can make sex physically more satisfying for many women.

"In our study, women said that they connected love with sex and that love actually enhanced the physical experience of sex," said Beth Montemurro, associate professor of sociology from Penn State Abington, a commonwealth campus of the Pennsylvania State University.

In a series of interviews with 95 women between ages 20 and 68, most said they believed love was necessary for maximum satisfaction in both sexual relationships and marriage.

The benefits of being in love with a sexual partner are more than just emotional.

Most of the women in the study said that love made sex physically more pleasurable.

Women who loved their sexual partners also said they felt less inhibited to explore their sexuality.

How to bond with your partner

If you've had an arranged marriage, chances are that there's still a lot for you to find out about your partner. Many couples who choose to take the arranged marriage route these days are given the liberty of spending time with each other, but this may not always happen, perhaps due to distance or time constraints. Here are a few ways that you can bond with your partner after you tie the knot...

Binge-watching
This is one of the best ways to get to know your partner's likes and dislikes. Pay attention to the jokes he/she laughs at, what moments capture his/her attention, what makes him/her cry (if at all), and so on. All you need is to find a TV show that you both want to find and you're set.

Working out together
If you are a fitness freak and your partner is not, you can motivate him/her to start working out to stay fit. Choose any activity that you are both interested in, such as going to gym, playing a sport or swimming.

Be a Smart Sexter

Trying out sexting for the first time. Here are certain do's and don'ts to remember while you are making your first sexting move

No matter how much we deny or run away from it, let's face the fact that sexting has become a part of our conversations and definitely fuels up our sex life. While many women hold themselves back from sexting and think it's inappropriate, men find sexting to be bold and quite like when women take things in their own hands. So if you are planning to make your evenings steamier, then add a tadka of sexting. However, if you are confused as in how to start and where to stop, then fret not as we bring you some tips that can help you sail through it.

1. Create mystery: Be it during sexting or even on phone conversations, it's always a good idea to create mystery and let your man unveil it. Remember sexting is a form of digital prologue to the forthcoming chapters, so making it as interesting and intriguing as possible. Do not reveal all in the text messages as then there is nothing for your man to look forward to. Men always like that mysterious aura around their woman.

When Sex turns into a NIGHTMARE

Even if you didn't trust your feelings, study after study is here to ratify that sex is one of the best activities you can indulge in. Defending your body against viruses, it keeps your immune system humming. It lowers systolic blood pressure, and because it makes you spend five calories per minute, it's considered a great cardio exercise.

But too much of a good thing can be bad, remember? Sometimes, bedroom action can turn into a disaster.

Mumbai's top gynaecs and andrologists outline the top 5 sex hazards, and how to handle them.


Penile fractures: This one's not funny, although it sounds incredulous. It's possible for men to `break' their penis, and that's odd considering the organ carries no bones. The injury is referred to as penile fracture and occurs when an erect penis is abruptly bent. You'll know when it happens because you will hear a crackle of a sound before experiencing excruciating pain and swelling followed by blue bruising in the area. If the urethra is torn too, you will notice bleeding in the urinary tract.

Are you the one who’d change for your man?

Try this quiz to know if you're someone who transforms to an extent that you forget your real self just for your man

Basically, you are the girlfriend who doesn't bother being truthful to your own self but is willing to change for your guy just to look like the girl he never had? Answer these questions to find out where you stand...

1. So you've bought that dress you were eyeing for months. You wear it and your guy's reaction is "That doesn't look good on you." What do you do?...

5 things Men absolutely Dread about Sex

It's not only women who deal with bedroom fears. Men too are victims. Here are some common fears that make men nervous in bed.

It's commonly believed that men are more sexually active as compared to their female partner. But very often, they too encounter several fears related to their bedroom romp, which can in turn cause doldrums in their sexual relationship.

Love, Sex and Money

These three factors are mainly responsible for relationship troubles. Here's how to tackle them

One problem or the other plagues all relationships at some point. While many people decide to ignore their issues and keep hanging on to the relationship, others give up without making any attempt to work it out. While you may feel that you are the one with all the problems, the other person may also have complaints about your behaviour. Here are some problems that are bound to figure on your list and the way to go about solving them.

Sex
If you feel men are the ones who have issues with their sex life, think again. A recent survey says that more than 64% of women are unhappy with their partner's performance in the bed. To keep the chemistry in your relationship intact, talk it out.

- Don't feel shy to admit your issues to your partner. It is likely that your spouse/partner doesn't realise that you are unhappy.
- Spice it up. Ask your partner what he/she would want to be more happy with your bedroom behaviour.
- Consider consulting a therapist. What might seem like a performance issue may actually be a serious problem. Go to a therapist and see if it helps.

Money
Should it be my money or our money? Whether it's before or after marriage, cash can cause a lot of trouble. A recent survey states that more couples now prefer to have separate bank accounts. Is this a healthy trend? Most experts think it is, as long as they pitch in equal amount for household expenses. Here's how you can sort your cash worries:

- Give you partner a clear indication of what you expect out of him/her every month.
- Try to work a system when one can be the saver and the other the spender. Or put aside equal amount for savings.
- But be flexible in case of a cash crunch.
- Don't hide debts from each other.
- Plan your short-term and long-term goals.

Lack of love and communication
Most couples feel that their partner is not affectionate and doesn't listen to them. That's often because neither party wants to sit down and sort out their problems. Talking about relationship issues never seems very important to most people. So, how do you communicate?

- Don't try to fit in your relationship talk between chores. You can't be checking your email or phone while talking to each other.
- To avoid disturbance when you are talking to each other, decide on a time mutually.
- Set some rules. If you feel that either you or your partner can't discuss problems because of anger, find some ways to get through those. Decide before hand that you won't shout at each other; ban words that you feel will hurt you or your partner.
- Be attentive when talking. Don't roll your eyes or slouch when your partner is talking. Your body language should indicate that you are interested in resolving the issues as much as your partner.
- Like your issues seem important to you, your partner, too, needs to get what he/she wants out of the relationship. Don't trivialise his/her issues.

4 Accessories Girls fail to Play With

Women fail to realize that there are several accessories apart from neckpieces and earrings that they can play with when it comes to styling.From quirky head bands to fashionable armlets, there is a plethora of accessories to choose from. Here are a few options you can check out.

Finger rings: Not many of us like wearing rings. But fancy rings amp up the glam quotient of your fingers than just a nail paint.

Go stylish with hairbands: Girls could also choose from a range of quirky hairbands to highlight their hairdos instead of going plain.

Accessories for your back: A low back dress or a backless gown is sure to reveal your toned body. But accessorizing them with shimmer tattoos or jewellery is the way forward. 

Armlets: Most women love wearing a sleeveless outfit. But you could tighten your arms with an armlet.

Secrets to Looking Younger

Beauty gurus share their unusual advice and tips for fighting wrinkles

From headstands and honey to gurning and grapes, these experts share their own personal secrets for fighting off the signs of ageing. Moisturisers and SPF creams aren't the only way to avoid wrinkles. Here, beauty gurus share their unusual secrets.

Exercise your neck
The neck is a big age giveaway and needs help to keep it taut, toned and firm. Lie on your back with your head hanging over the edge of the bed, then lift your head towards your chest. Repeat 10 times daily.
— Noella Gabriel, director of a cosmetic company

Use an ice pack
To stimulate my skin cells, shrink fluid retention and reduce redness and visible capillaries, I wrap ice in a muslin cloth and roll it all over my face. It leaves you with a rosy, youthful complexion.
— Sarah Chapman, facialist Drink from a flask

I try not to drink from plastic bottles as it causes wrinkles around the mouth. Use a flask with a cup attached instead.
— Marcyanna Legan, MD of a skincare company

Change your cleanser
Use an oil-based cleanser that won't strip away natural oils and massage make-up off with plenty of product. Apply pressure across your frown lines — try a zig-zag motion under the eyes when massaging.
— Facialist Su-Man

Practice facial yoga
Facial yoga helps to support the contours of your face, delays wrinkles and improves deep-set lines. Place your fingers on the edge of your jaw and pull towards your ears. This disperses fat around the jaw.
— Wren Holmes, urban skincare consultant

Eat face foods
Wild salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids that moisturise from within for smooth, soft, flexible and glowing skin. I eat two to three servings of wild (not farmed) salmon a week. Avocados are also full of monounsaturated oil, vitamin E and B complex vitamins that repair and protect skin from free radical damage. I eat avocados three to four times a week.
— Nigma Talib, naturopathic doctor

Pack in the powder
I never put powder in the crow's feet around my eyes. It just makes wrinkles look bigger.
— Kirsten Carriol, creator of a beauty product

Do a headstand
Headstands are great for getting the blood to flow to the face, oxygenating your complexion and helping to remove wrinkle-inducing toxins.
— Esther Fieldgrass, founder of a spa

Massage back-handed
Dot a small amount of cream on the backs of both hands, then, with the backs of your hands, massage your neck upwards and outwards in long strokes until the cream is fully absorbed. This won't 'drag' at the skin, like fingertips do, and helps prevent ageing signs on the backs of the hands as well as your neck.
— Liz Warom, founder of a spa

Drink green tea
I drink green tea daily and keep blueberries at my desk to nibble on. They provide a powerful dose of protective antioxidants that keep wrinkles at bay.
— Kristy Cimesa, founder of a herbological healing company

Say yes to serums
To fight inflammation and ageing free radicals, I use an antioxidant serum, and to hydrate I drink 1.5 litres of water a day. I follow my antioxidant serum with a good hyaluronic serum, which can absorb up to 1,000 times its weight in moisture.
—Jill Zander, founder of a skin rejuvenation clinic

Give gurning a go
I do facial gymnastics daily to tackle wrinkles. Puff out your cheeks and move the air from one to the other. Do this three times. Then, with your lips slightly pouting, gently blow as if you're blowing bubbles. Smile widely, hold for three seconds and release. Repeat thrice.
— Donna Tait, skincare expert

Enjoy a smoothie
My secret to good skin is a daily smoothie of spinach, kiwi, banana and unsweetened almond milk. Spinach is an excellent source of iron. Without it, you can't transport oxygen efficiently, which can leave you with pale skin. The vitamin C in kiwis helps make collagen for new skin cells and the vitamin E in almond milk protects the skin.
— Sharon Hilditch, founder of a skincare company

Pinch yourself
I pinch my skin to keep it plump and youthful, as pinching stimulates the fat cells under the skin to keep it firm, full and tight.
— Dr Terry Loong, skin energy doctor

Tuck into honey
I'm a great believer in using natural ingredients. Getting more honey in your diet is great for the face. It's good at helping the skin absorb moisture.
— Helen Ambrosen, co-founder and beauty product inventor

Serve tea and cucumber
When my eyes look puffy or tired, I soak camomile tea bags in cold water and place them over my eyelids for 10 minutes. It leaves me with pepped-up peepers. To temporarily tighten the complexion, I place chilled slices of cucumbers on my eyes and cheeks.
— Rivka Rose, founder of a natural skincare company.

Top 10 Risks of Fast Weight Loss

The wish for fast weight loss is everybody's dirty little secret. After all the excesses of December's merry-making, your New Year resolution is to shed those extra pounds, and all of a sudden you notice a huge poster saying,' lose weight in 30 day.' 

It is tempting to fall prey to this promise of fast weight loss but what are you risking? Quick solutions can cause severe detrimental effects on your health. Even if you leave physical harm aside, fast weight loss may cause mental stress and depression as well. Therefore, before believing any fast weight loss advice, take a moment and have a look at the top 10 risks that fast weight loss brings with it.

Fast weight loss risk # 1: Fast weight loss is not a permanent solution

According to Priya, Nutritionist from Mumbai: "Before adopting fast weight loss methods, you have to be very cautious. Though it might help you lose some weight, the results are not sustainable for a long time. Since your body is not trained to the temporary changes, it will fail to adapt to the changes and more likely you will get back all the weight that you had lost."

Fast weight loss risk # 2: Fast weight loss means dehydration

The most famous technique to lose some quick pounds is the dehydration technique. Since most of the body weight is water; people dehydrate themselves to lose weight. This technique is totally unreal and harmful.

Depriving yourself of water is not healthy at all. It can lead to various serious health problems like fainting, dizziness, and heart palpitations. Sometimes, it can further lead to muscle damage and also death. Plus, you will get back to your old weight very quickly as your body is known to restore fluids naturally.

Fast weight loss risk # 3: Poor sleep

Quick weight loss can make you tired very quickly and very often. When you get into a weight loss schedule, many individuals engage in lessening the amount of calories intake instead of burning fat. Due to low calorie intake, the metabolic rate goes down, which further means less energy and a more tired you.

Fast weight loss risk # 4: Formation of gallstones

Gallbladder is present in your abdomen. It is a small sac present below the liver. This gallbladder helps in storage of fat until it is needed. Priya says - rapid weight loss can produce gallstones. Gallstones are hardening of cholesterols which looks like stones. These tiny stones can cause severe damage as it can cause infection due to obstruction in the normal flow of bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine.

Fast weight loss risk # 5: Nutritional deficiency

When you adopt a quick weight loss plan, you restrict yourself only to certain food. Due to this restriction, you are cutting yourself from various nutrients that are necessary for the upkeep of your body and you.

Fast weight loss risk # 6: You are increasing your stress level

Staying away from certain food or starving yourself to lose weight fast, can lower the metabolism rate in your body, which will further increase the stress hormone - cortisol. Due to the high presence of this hormone, you will feel mentally, physically and emotionally stressed and lost.

Fast weight loss risk # 7: Hair loss

When you start the fast weight loss journey, you are depriving yourself from essential nutrients. Your hair needs protein to grown and to be healthy. But due to your diet plan, you are avoiding adequate protein intake. This makes your hair dry, brittle and this eventually causes hair fall.

Fast weight loss risk # 8: Fat storage

When you are in starvation mode to lose weight fast, your body signals itself about it and stores food. Due to this problem, when you get back to your normal diet, you not only gain what you had lost but also gain some extra unwanted weight and fat.

Fast weight loss risk # 9: Metabolism disruption

When you are on the fast weight loss diet mode, your body gets its signal and in order to survive, it slows down the metabolic rate. But when you come back to your normal eating routine, you experience weight gain due to a slower metabolic rate.

To beat this, you may again go into a crash diet, and with this your body starts a cycle of losing and gaining weight. These frequent changes can cause severe disruption in your metabolic rate and on your body.

Fast weight loss risk # 10: Various health problems

Due to lack of adequate supply of essential nutrients in your body, it can bring you closer to various health problems like muscle weakness, anemia, constipation etc. If these symptoms are not treated timely, it can cause serious damage to your health.

Finding Your Man with A Kiss

An Oxford University research suggests that kissing on the first date may determine the longevity of the relationship. 


The involvement of two important senses in kissing — the olfactory (smell) and the gustatory (taste) — leads to instant approval or disapproval of the person being kissed, in the subconscious mind.

Here's all you got to do to find out your man.

Don't be First-Date-Kiss-Shy
Hesitance will have to take a backseat. After all that flirting, initiate the first move, suggest a casual kiss. Keep the kiss light yet tasteful.

Nostalgia can be a cue
Lady, if you pull this off decently, hug yourself. Next, just go home and recall the kiss. Still getting goose flesh? If yes, you're already ready for the second date! If not, don't be generous to bad kissers (unless 'you' were the bad kisser).

Relax On second date
Now that you have done the job of being the dream-date on the first outing, just sit back and relax. Your man is sure to take charge and let you have your due generously this time.

Benefits of a Good Laugh

A good laugh can help you feel energized and refreshed. Laughing boosts your oxygen intake and releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones that make you happy. 

As Charlie Chaplin rightly said - 'Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain'. Here go few more benefits of laughter:

Laughter makes you feel better
If you are feeling super stressed and somebody cracks a hilarious joke that makes you laugh hard, it will make you feel better, especially if it is totally out of the blue.

Laughter increases immunity
Negativity and stressful situations causes chemical reactions in your body that decreases your immunity, making it more likely you to fall sick. A hearty laugh fuels your immune system with disease-fighting powers that will help you stay healthy and energetic.

Laughter improves blood flow
Laughter reduces blood pressure and improves blood flow, which will in turn reduce your chances of suffering a stroke or heart attack.

Laughter boosts confidence and mood
People who are confident have an ability to laugh at themselves no matter how badly they mess up. They take any mistake in their stride and move on with a hearty laugh by minimizing stress, wasting time or causing any damage to oneself.

Laughter burns calories
Laughter could help you in your fitness plan. It raises your heart rate and can burn about 10-40 calories in 15 minutes according to a study.

6 Types of 'Un-dateable' Men

Yes, a breed of undateable men exists - guys that women wouldn't even want their enemies to date. Read on...

Some men have that natural charm and women tend to flock to them when given a chance. But there are some whom a woman would never want to be in proximity with. He's the guy who can be the reason behind a drastic change in moods. While you're wondering the kind of man you should hide from, here's our checklist of men you should avoid.

1. Mr. Volatile
One moment, everyone's eyeing this extra caring, super-hot boyfriend of yours while the next, he's just indifferent and you're left wondering WTH just happened. We won't call this man one with mood swings because that is acceptable, considering how often we PMS. But he's the kind of a man who is so volatile, you'll have all the answers, yet be clueless about his weird behaviour.

2. The 'I-me-myself' guy
Go to a restaurant with him, he'll be kind enough to let you check the menu, but will choose what he wants. Talk to him over the phone, you'll find conversations start with how his day was and ends with the goals of his life. And while you're thinking of a beach destination for that annual relaxation holiday, you'll end up going to a desert just because he wants a camel ride. He's selfish. Stay with him to be unhappy for the rest of your life.

3. The 'Aww-I'm-just-a-kid' man
This guy just hasn't grown up. He's so happy extending his childhood days that he will mistake you for his momma. If you're willing to tie his shoelace, select clothes for that everyday outing of his, cook for him and feed him, among doing his other chores, we will say, go for him.

4. The sleaze-ball
He flirts with every woman on the planet - his receptionist, the waitress, the woman who comes to take out garbage, the stranger at the super market and even your best friend. His history can make you uncomfortable and you just know he's not the kind who'll be serious with anyone. Avoid this man who's only about sex, sex and just sex, unless you're looking for someone to play with too.

5. 'I-need-you-so-much' fella
This Mr Clingy is a total no-no to be with. He's so insecure and doubtful about things in life, all he's looking for is reassurance. And here's what he comes with: a truck full of emotions. Trust us, you wouldn't want to be a shoulder to this man, who goes sob, sniff, sob every single minute when he's with you.

6. The predictable guy
This one's as predictable as a bimonthly auto rickshaw fare hike in Delhi. You just know what he's thinking or is about to do. Yes, we're talking about (yawn) the guy who has just no surprises to offer you, because well, not only is he predictable, but he's way too boring, so much so that we know for certain you'll gauge him in just a month.

7 Secrets to a Huge Orgasm

Believe it or not, but achieving an orgasm is not as common a phenomenon as the act of love making. Yes, the Big O is an alluring experience that millions of women struggle to attain on a regular basis.

Whether you're keen to learn how to achieve an orgasm or whether you simply want to experience greater sexual satisfaction, we bring you real life moan-and-groan mantras of women from all walks of life, along with expert proficiency. Here's the ultimate ''orgasm guide'', which is completely devoted to seeking the most erotic pleasure...

Stop thinking about it
"I started concentrating on when and how to climax to coordinate with my beau. My deliberate efforts had such negative impact that getting an orgasm turned into a damn squid or a 'once in blue moon' situation. I discussed the problem with my gyne and she advised me to take things easy and go with the flow. Getting all worked up and stressed-out spoils the climax," shares 32-year-old Kavita Bohra.

Kavita's funda: Keep your mind in the moment and feel rather than think - it will make climaxing much easier.

Expert talk: "Stop thinking of sex in a sequence. Sex doesn't actually have a start, middle or end. You could orgasm during foreplay or via a quickie against the bathroom wall. All orgasms are great; thinking of them as brilliant or boring merely puts pressure on us. The trick is not to strive for something better," shares sexologist Dr. Renu Rai

Play it out!
"Getting over sexual taboos considerably transformed my sex life," quips an excited Mandeep Kaur Dhaliwal. The 27-year-old architect adds, "For instance, the very idea of watching porn use to freak me out. But then my boyfriend cajoled me to give it a shot just once and it miraculously spiced up our sex life. Not only did I experience amazing orgasms, but I realized that watching porn didn't make me a bad girl."

Mandeep's funda: Don't be scared to experiment - you never know what might rock your sexual world.

Expert talk: Dr. A. K Singh suggests, "Don't restrain yourself. Imagine doing salsa without swinging hips; no fun, right? That's what aiming for an orgasm is like, if you don't loose yourself a little. If an act doesn't do it for you sexually, don't try it again. But if it does, congratulations, you have just opened the door to many more orgasmic possibilities."

Monogamy pays!
Sudeshna Chatterjee, a 29-year-old communication manager reveals, "Ever since my boyfriend and I got married and started living together, I'm having orgasms 85 per cent of the times, compared to our dating days where I used to climax around 40 per cent."

Sudeshna's funda: Experience pays as you get familiarised with each others' moan zones and are thus more than willing to explore newer ones.

Expert talk: Dr. A. K Singh explains, "On the basis of my interaction with my clients, sexually successful women insist that sticking to one man results in exceptional payoffs. Over a period of time, your partner can master your quirky curves and the art of making you climax."

It's all about the position
"I think great sex is all about angles. The days we are really tired and in not mood to experiment, sex is merely okay. But when we have all the time (and just the right mood), we experiment with new positions and needless to say, end up having the best climax of our lives." shares sales manager, Deepshika Verma.

Deepshika's funda: Don't be afraid to try new things, you'll be surprised how many new sensations you both can experience.

Expert talk: "There's no denying the fact that with each position, the sensations change. The Kamasautra, which is the ultimate guide of lovemaking, elaborates on this science. Some positions focus chiefly on the clitoris, others are great for G-spot indulgence and then there are some that do wonders for emotional intimacy. The best part is that even if you are a novice and lack such creativity, ample literature is available on the Internet and magazines to guide you better," explains sex therapist Dr. Simridhi Siddique.

Alternate orgasm therapy
Mona Dave, a 30-year-old boutique owner, states, "Ninety per cent of the times, I could only have an orgasm through oral or manual stimulation - never through regular sexual intercourse. I firstly thought something is wrong with me. But now, it's a normal occurrence. My partner has accepted it and now we indulge in lot of such acts that can make me reach an orgasm."

Mona's funda: If a certain act has rocked your arousal level and triggered a sensational orgasm once, include it in your subsequent sex sessions.

Expert talk: Dr. Renu Rai shares, "Intercourse is a great way to get pregnant, but you can't categorise it as the most efficient way to reach orgasm. If you desire more than one orgasm, my best tip is to use different forms of stimulation, otherwise you get desensitized."

Explore yourself
Pooja Sanwal made it all the way to the age of 29 without ever experiencing an orgasm. She tried and tested myriad ways, but nothing worked. She finally consulted Dr. Jawahar Batra and decided to take the matter in her own hands. "I went to my room, closed the door and took my time exploring my body. Even though I didn't exactly go over the edge during the session, I felt like - I now know how to make it happen." shares Pooja.

Pooja's funda: Discover what works for you and without any inhibition communicate the same to your partner.

Expert talk: "Know what works for your body. Practice stimulating yourself and then share your newfound knowledge with your partner or give him instruction when in bed." says Dr. Jawahar

Foreplay your way
Admit it, the female orgasm isn't a push-button response. "Sex was nothing more than a sad, painful experience till the time we understood that foreplay is the most important part of lovemaking. Most men (like my husband) love to believe that the female body is composed of only one spot that calls upon a mind boggling, orgasmic experience. This however is so untrue," chuckles 26-year-old, Vanshika Rastogi.

Vanshika's funda: Make your man understand that there are multiple erogenous spots in a woman's body which can invoke a pleasurable and intense female orgasm.

Expert talk: Dr Simridhi Siddique elucidates, "A woman can achieve several orgasms during foreplay alone, if done the right way. Invest as much time as possible in foreplay and arousal. An aroused state of mind is usually followed by a multi-orgasmic experience and she will definitely love you more for this success. Read as many books as possible on foreplay and study all the techniques."

So, what are you waiting for? Pick the best way for an over-the-top O.

Well, yes this could be the first sign to tell you when you are feeling the blues all the while and have goose bumps and butterflies in your stomach for no reason at all or for silly reasons.

You keep blushing all the time
This again is a sign that tells you 'you are smitten for the first time' when you see yourself in a very good mood and your friends always spot you daydreaming and blushing and getting lost in your thoughts. That's definitely mush and that's definitely the crush you need to explore.

Your heart longs for that person
Your eyes go around hunting for just a glance and you will be satisfied even if you could see the person for even a second and that gives you maximum satisfaction. This does not end here as the more you get to see the person, the more the heart longs for the person. This is surely first love.

You experience things for the first time
If you feel the excitement is new, the feelings in your heart are the ones you have never experienced before and there are hundreds of emotions running hither and thither inside. You're feeling ecstatic at the same time there is anxiety brewing inside your heart that makes you feel your heart beat like never before - dhub, dhub, dhub, and more dhub dhub.

Buddy, you have been smitten. Go and get yourself a love doctor.
