How has life changed after modelling? The major change is I have started listening to others in the bitter way! Your best part experience so far. This was the first ad which I shot for ICICI Prudential where it took 15 hrs for a 30 sec ad! I can never forget this lifetime experience. Are male models more vulnerable to casting couch. If you go 4-5 years back, it was true but now it’s different. Qualities which make you different from other model community. I am friendlier in a true way and can’t be fake as most of my fellow models are. I always prefer my education and knowledge over my looks.
Walking in first ever Men’s Week was really great feeling. Now Indian designers have finally got the time to think of the Male model. The positive and negative traits of being a model.

If you say Negative then it’s a long list but to be precise, it’s a short term career or say it’s not a career for men, it’s a very dicey profession and my advice is to first finish your studies get some professional degree to be on the safer side and then try for it. Positive trait is you get in contact with so many people which sometimes actually changes life and most importantly People start recognizing you. Nudity in ads is a sensational issue nowadays? Would u ever do such ads. Yes if you have to live in Rome you have to live like a Romeo. Is the supermodel era over. Gone are the days when Supermodel was a term. Now-a-days, it’s so tough to make a stand in the industry due to cut throat competition there is less work and more candidates so everyone is a model now but the supermodel is in the graveyard.
Designers you die for?
Raghavendra Rathore and JJ Valaya.
How are show directors to deal with?
It takes time to create a rapport with the choreographers and if you are good in buttering half your job is done. All choreographers have their favourites so here the job changes from getting work to getting into the choreographer’s favo’s list. Till now Aparna Behl and Alison Kanuga are those whom I admire.
Style icon Shashi Taroor, the way he speaks and think its a personality to die for.
Health regime
Eat healthy be healthy. I believe in one thing what you eat is what you look. A proper work out and cardio is like worshipping your body.
The one thing you most scared of Losing my memory. How is Karan (Johar) as a designer. I did his fittings yesterday for the finale show at ICW and as a designer he is really amazing. He is blessed with a very good styling sense. He is doing the show for which bridal, casuals as well as party wear lines with really flashy shoes kept in store.

The first thing you have to do is to identify your needs.  If you are planning to serve tea to a large group of people, then you better purchase a large glass teapot so you can avoid the hassle of constantly refilling the teapot with hot water.  On the other hand, if your tea ritual is dedicated only to family members and occasional guests of the house, medium sized glass teapot or a personalized clear teapot would be best for you.  It is always advisable to purchase a glass teapot because you can easily use it to display the decorative properties of flowering or blossom teas.

It is also best to choose a clear teapot that has a special thermal control system.  The thermal control will keep your tea warm but the surface areas of the teapot would be cool to the touch.  This type of teapot is ideal to use during tea parties and special occasions.  Because the tea will stay warm, you will not need to go frequently to the kitchen to reheat the tea or to get fresh hot water.  It is also best to choose a glass teapot that is hand blown.  A hand blown glass is more elegant, seamless and would be very durable for many years of use.  A hand blown clear teapot could be a little expensive but its quality would be excellent.

Glass mugs are also important for your tea ritual.  You cannot enjoy the luxurious taste of a good tea if you will drink it from ordinary mug or cup.  So you should select elegant glass mugs or glass cups that will complement your teapot.  It is always best to have a full set of glass mugs so you will be always ready to serve tea to lots of people.  The advantage of having glass cups is that you can use the cups as decorative objects.  This is particularly true if your glass mugs have personalized designs.  You should also have a full set of glass infuser mug. A set of glass infuser mug will be very handy when you serve loose leaf tea.

Choosing the right teapot and mugs for your tea is very important.  You cannot enjoy your tea time and tea party if you do not have excellent teapot and mugs.  You have to remember that tea drinking is an art form and a ritual.  So you will definitely need excellent sets of teapots and glass mugs in order to fully enjoy the benefits of tea drinking.

Enjoy luxurious tea drinking by using elegantly designed glass teapot. Visit our website today so you can choose the right teapot and glass mugs that will be suitable for your needs.

Good rest and sound sleep is very
Important… if u don’t sleep well,
The toxic in your body will accumulate.. 
Affecting your health and your mood… 

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main cause. 

2. Not urinating in the morning.

3. Too much eating.

4. Skipping breakfast.

5. Consuming too much medication.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener. 

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit. 

8. Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our body to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to ‘schedule.’ 

Because: Evening at 9 – 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (de-toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on her health. 

Evening at 11pm – 1am : The de-toxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state. Early morning 1 – 3am : de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state. 

Early morning 3 – 5am : de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process. 
Morning 5 – 7am : de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 – 9am : Absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 -10am rather than no meal at all. Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. 

Therefore, have a good sleep and don’t sleep late.

Brand reputation monitoring is also essential because search engine rankings are also affected if your brand reputation takes a beating. Search engines do take into factors like complaints against your site. So apart from losing valuable customers, you may also end up depleting your reach to online users. There are sites on which you can check for complaints and other such negativities directed on your site. If you come to know that your brand is under attack, you should act swiftly and decisively. First, act modestly by trying to sort out the issue with the person or organization in question. You should initiate the move and offer the olive branch. If there is anything substantial in the complaint, you can take the necessary actions in time.

Most of the time negative publicities are unfounded and baseless. In such cases, you have to retaliate and tell your side of the story. This is not an act in self defense but an act which can negate the negative effects of false comments. As part of your brand reputation management, you can increase your positive publicity through positive testimonials and comments on blogs and social networking sites. You can ask your happy customers to make the comments. You can also start your company’s own blog.

When it comes to African safari, Kenya is the land that attracts all fancy. Boasting of being the home to the original safari holidays, Kenya has long been attracting visitors from every corner of the world – thanks to the beaches, warm tropical waters, abundant wildlife, diverse culture and the scenic beauty of the nation. Safari Kenya has got to showcase a lot to you as well. Having no less than forty national parks and game reserves spread across the country, Kenya will surely make you fall in love with it right from the moment you step in here. Safaris in Kenya accompanying you all the way will further help in strengthening the bond – the bond of love and friendship with the roaming wild animals.

If you go to Kenya and don’t experience the fun of venturing in a safari, you literally haven’t done anything. Safaris are the prime attractions in Kenya which can be availed in different ways. From one night taster to splendid seven night expedition, Safaris in Kenya are offered through 4 x 4 vehicles, on horseback and elephants. Even balloon safaris and fly in safaris can be arranged if you are ready to spend a bit more.

Kenya is home to Africa’s best known national parks including Amboseli, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Tsavo. While the exclusive Kimana Game Sanctuary near Mount Kilimanjaro beckons you to experience the gaiety, the dense rain forests of Mount Kenya National Park wink at you to initiate an affair.

The Samburu Game Reserve lying in Kenya’s semi-arid rugged northern region is an excellent home to a number of rare animals like reticulated giraffes, Grevy zebras, Somali ostriches and long-necked gerenuk antelopes. While Amboseli National Park is known for baboons, lions, elephants and cheetahs, Lake Nakuru National Park is a place where rhinos can be found.

Nairobi, the heart and the capital of the country is a fun place to watch out for. With a host of luxury hotels and resorts, Nairobi is a fantastic place to stay. What’s more, while playing with the ‘wild’, you can choose a wide range of accommodations including tented camps and fine old lodges.

Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Center of North America has developed a concept car that looks like being a mixture between a Formula One car and a yacht racing vehicle. The design was called Formula Zero and is powered by solar energy. The concept will enter the 2008 Design Los Angeles Challenge.

The car has one electric motor on all four wheels and the batteries powered by an aero-efficient solar layer. Via this concept the guys from Merceds-Benz hope that they will be able to change the concept of motor sports, making the Formula Zero a competition where the energy efficiency is the one that really counts. So the skills of the racer an the car will be the ones that will make the difference, because everybody will start with the same amount of energy and at the end of the race the winner will be the one with the best time and the less amount of energy spent.

The only impediment in introducing such a bold race concept is that the car racing lovers will not be so happy not to hear the amazing sound of the conventional racing cars engines. Anyway Formula Zero may be able to compete by 2025.

Here I think and think of her,
All time as a mad,
There my wife moans,
Tossing lone and sad;

O exchange of rings!
Then two halves kept apart,
Now, wait and wait, for distant date,
O restless heart!

Livelong nights,sleepless bed,
Visions and dreams haunt,
Her changing faces,nuptial fuss
And unfulfilled want;

Life hastens days,
But thoughts make them go slow,
Flowers bloom,I care not,
Evenings come and go;

Here I think and think of her,
All time as a mad,
There my wife moans,
Tossing lone and sad.
