For all you lovers, this is something fun you can try out for your
partners, to see that expression of wow, or delight on their faces, that
too without spending much from your pocket, how does that sound,
interesting huh?? Well, this is something that has been tried by certain
couples and what they have to say about it is awesome, these tips can
make your love enhance without your lovey-dovey money going away
from you. Isn’t that great, no matter if want to make up for something
or have to make him feel special, don’t bother about the expenditure,
as there are numerous things which you can try out to make your
loved one wander in that land of all-embracing love:
Cook a special cuisine for your beloved:
Nothing can be better than cooking food for the
person you are in love with. Aww come on, this is
not something you can’t try, and in fact it is super
fun. Cook something that your partner really craves
for, and invite him over for a special lunch or dinner;
imagine how romantic it would be. If for some
reasons you guys have had strife, then give him or her
surprise by preparing something that is lip smacking
and dash down to his or her place. This is a perfect
way to express your love, that too spending much
money on gifts, greetings, or any other stuff, what do
you say?
Treasure stalk:
This is another thing which may interest your beloved
to fall in love with you again and this time massively,
how? Let’s see, what this particular Treasure Hunt
means is, that you spread over or rather hide, small
things prepared by you like letters, poems, songs or
pictures or anything else, at different places and let
your partner hunt for that non measurable treasure
of love. This is also a perfect game sort of a thing
which you can try out on Valentine’s or any other day
you feel that there is a need to boost up that passion
in your love.
Demonstrate your Romantic Side:
It might sound a little creepy or funny to certain
people who do not like to show how much love they
hold inside their heart. Well, if you are one of them,
then it is time to buckle up and get some passion in
your relationship. Hugs and Kisses does not show
that you really are in love, unless an ingredient of an
admiration is added in it, go tell your beloved today,
how good he looks, talk about all the positives, go for
a walk and knee down in front of him or her, make
them feel amazing about themselves, that’s true
romance..!!
It is in Giving that you shall receive:
Many self help books talk about this fantastic phrase,
which means, that the more you give out will be
responsible for congruent things to come to you.
Does that ring the bell?? The more you give out, which
means the more you give love and express it, the
more it will keep your relationship get stronger day by
day.
Do not hide your feelings:
This is a complete NO NO, for a happy relationship,
if you are in love with someone express it, let them
know how you feel. The more you lock it up inside, the
more things will keep tightening up, let it loose, set
yourself free from everything then just go for it, let
your beloved know how you feel about him or her and
then see the magic..!
8. What is fashion according to you? Is it something
that lets you be aware of that classy style or
trends going on, which can some or the other way
be a reason of you looking amazingly striking? Or,
you take it as something which is quite essential
for the comfort and branding these days? Certainly,
every person have their own views about this ,
people can go on and on when it comes to fashion,
in fact there are people who are absolutely crazy
about the fashion world, they like to know each and
every bit of the latest trend. You see these people
dressed up funky, and look simply superb and
different from the usual crowd, when asked about
the reason of their get up, all they have to say is,
“this is in.” Let’s chook put the various attributes
and contributes of fashion:
Fashion and Style:
Fashion has immensely impacted the style these days, what say? Fashion these days has become
a very string reason of social change; it is something that is dealt by us on a daily basis. The kind of
attire you wear, either is a replica of some style or creates one. Fashion can be considered as a wind
which makes it a little difficult for the man to cope at times. The best part is that it does not restrict
itself to the clothes, but also embraces the accessories, handbags and a lot of other stuff. Have you
ever noticed, girls looking at your handbag and commenting “Wow, that’s really trendy.”, or if there
is something that is not admired, is stated as old fashioned by people? So, the conclusion is, that
fashion does impact the style, from the start of your day till the end; you are judged on this area as
well, either knowingly or unknowingly.

Fashion and Comfort:
Do you think that fashion can provide you comfort? Well, it sure does, ruminate how? Look at your
clothes that you find really easy to get into, they make you feel at ease and relaxed, and not really
bother you to think what other people will feel about them. That’s the comfort bit of fashion, and
such attire is known as a comfortable one. People choose various outfits, some to impress others
at certain occasions; those are known as trendy fashion stuff, and some for their own self, which
is known as comfy fashion stuff, fashion is everywhere, and is something that is not going to leave
your side at all.
Fashion and Branding:
Fashion is not something that exists in clothing or dresses, it is
something that is in the sky, and the streets have got a lot to do
with fashion. Fashion exists in your thoughts your ideas, in your life,
in the way to present yourself, in every sphere of your life.

MAGNITUDE OF
CAREER PLANNING
Who does not want to excel in life and have
a great future, even a son of a famer sets
a vision of doing something exalted in life.
That’s for everybody, we all need to set goals,
otherwise the fun element of living life, will
go fade. So, this is one of the reasons to plan
your career, planning a career is nothing else
apart from setting a goal for yourself, which
will give you that kick all the time and will
keep you moving on, work hard and get all
that you want. So, the first and the foremost
reason of Career Planning is, to learn being
yourself, know your innate capabilities and
then nourishing them, is what a career is all
about.
Career planning plays a vital role when you have
a very strong passion towards life, and moreover,
thinking that this is the kind of job you want or need,
isn’t going to help unless you take appropriate steps
to get that job. This is where career planning steps
in, without planning what you have to do for where
you have to be, you will keep going helter skelter,
looking for different way outs and then end up going
nowhere.
Many successful people w hom you admire and may
even consider as your idols, have gone through a
phase of struggle, that period of immense struggle
could have not been over for them if they had not
planned things wisely.
For you, if you really want to become something in
life, this is what you need to do plan your career;
figure out what is it that you want to do with your life,
your career? Then, ask the next question to yourself,
how? There are end number of ways one can find to
obtain his goal.
Planning is very important, rather it is the base of
your building, if you want to reach up to the heights
of a good career, then planning the appropriate steps
you shall take to achieve that goal, will always help
you get close to your objective.
When you are setting goals for yourself or are
planning to choose your career option from a big pool
of it, ensure that you explore every aspect of the one
you choose before making it your final choice. See if
it fits your needs, does that particular job or career
which you are planning to take up interests you,
cause if it does not then there is no point choosing it
because the career which is taken up only for money
and nothing else, is something which will not last for
long. Hence, the best thing what you can do is, make
your hobby your career, for instance, if you love drama
then get into acting and get appropriate training or
education to become a good actor, or if you have any
other hobby that you can take up as a career option,
then go for it. Remember, career planning is the
foundation and a great career is the top floor of the
building you create.

usiness Communication is very essential for the growth of any business, or forget about growth, it is
very essential for any business to sustain its existence. It is the business communication that helps you
build clients, or promote your products or any other attribute of your business. An effective business
communication is the one that always helps you get the positive response from the other end. These days
many corporate and companies are understanding the value of a great and effective business communication,
and are training their staff on the same, following are some of the tips that may help you in improving your
standards of commerce communication:
Augment Your Business Communication
13 | INDIAN MIRROR 2013 www.indianmirror.com.au
Vigorous Listening:
If at any point in time you are indulged in a business
communication with a client or any other business
associate, ensure that you listen very carefully to the
entire conversation before jumping on what you have
to say or present. It is very important to be a good
listener, and that actually is a sign of a good business
man, that represents that you are interested to
understand the needs of your client, which will also
help him have faith on you. Take down mental noted
of what the other person has to say, this will help you
paraphrase the entire thing before you can actually
start working on it.
Criticism:
People take criticism in a negative way, which is not
really the case, criticism is not a negative thing, in
fact it gives you an opportunity to be aware about
you area of improvement, you get to know where
is it exactly that you need to work on. If you find
yourself in a position to criticize your colleague, or
anybody else who’s working with you, the best way
is to provide the person with a constructive feedback
and that too with tact. Vice-versa, when you are into
business other than criticizing people, you should be
open to receive criticism as well and take it positively.
Rapport Building:
This is something that is vital for a business
communication or to maintain a healthy business
relationship with your valuable clients. Ensure that
you build a great rapport with all who you work with,
be it your customers or your employees, building
rapport with customers will always help you get
more business and having a good rapport with your
employees will act as a motivation factor and will
enable to them to perform better.
Being a Conversationalist:
Holding yourself back from interacting with people,
will do no good to you, as a business person you
should always be ready to initiate a conversation and
should be able to get people interested in it. The one,
who is good at conversation, is always proved out to
be a great leader, because being a conversationalist
always helps him put across the desired message
that too in an effective manner.

16. ‘Milkha Singh’- for some the name evokes a faint memory from the pages of history. All that
is most remembered is that Milkha Singh, hailed as the Flying Sikh, was a famous athlete,
who infamously lost the penultimate race of his Life. “The one who lost the 400 meters finals
at the Rome Olympics” is an involuntary response when the name Milkha Singh is men-
tioned.
The Film attempts to understand a catastrophic loss that was deemed a sure victory and
explores through the darkness of disgrace; Milkha’s redemption,
the redemption and catharsis that come when he confronts his past.
Milkha, ironically finds himself in a place wherein he had lost his all;
Pakistan: a place where he witnessed the bloody massacre of his entire family. The demons
hidden in some dark corner of his consciousness come alive.
This iridescent tale winds through the plagues of a bloody civil war, a lost childhood, home-
lessness and petty crime to victories hard won and easily lost. It draws an intricate image
of human trials, setbacks and fate leveraged against the sheer power of will. He evocatively
illustrates that true victory lies in racing with one’s troubles and not in running away from
them.
Milkha flies, falls and rises, bruising his soul but not his will to survive.
Milkha Singh the world champion in 400 meters lost the most important race of his life- the
1960 Rome Olympics but won in LIFE.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag will see Milkha fly, fall and rise, bruise his soul but not his will to survive.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag releases worldwide on 12th July 2013

20. Tragic deaths in bollywood is not something that has not been a bit of gossip or discussion these
days, there were many talented actresses who left the industry, not that time snatched them away,
but it was their decision to quit. The question is what made them take such a devastating step, what
was it that made them give up and feel defeated? The whole world has lots to talk about the tragic
deaths of various bollywood actresses, but who really has even tried to understand what was it that
made them take away their own lives? The mystery of these deaths is still unrevealed, but these are
the people who will always remain in the heart of every person associated with Bollywood, and will
be always remembered:
Jiah Khan was laid to rest June 2, 2013, in the presence of her inconsolable family, her relatives and colleagues.
It was really sad to know that like many other bollywood actresses, she also chose to end her, and the reason
told by her mother and other family members is, that she was really heart broken by her unsettled career in
the industry, in fact she did try to kill herself last year, that’s what her mother told the media. Though, Sooraj
Pancholi, son of famous Bollywood Actor, Aditya Pancholi was also in the controversy of this incident, as Sooraj
and Jiah were in a relationship for quite some time. However, according to the statement of Jiah’s mother,
Sooraj does not seem to be responsible for this anywhere. According to the recent updates till now, Jiah’s
failing career in the film industry, was the reason for her to end up her life.
Divya Bharti, a well known actress who lost her life at the age of 19, passed away an incident that occurred at
her flat, but, till date nobody exactly know what was the reason of her falling down from the building she used
to stay in. Certain people say and believe that she was overly drunk, and slipped down from the terrace, is that
really true? Nobody knows the reality; it’s all in dark till date. Divya, when passed away, was doing really well
in her career, she was casted in many movies and was always appreciated by people for her immensely great
work.
Another well known and extremely gorgeous also met a tragic end, she did not die a normal, and her death is
also a mystery to the film industry. Parveen Bobby, appeared in the movie “Aashirvaad”, was the last movie
she gave her appearance in, and then went away from the bollywood industry. The only times she came into
limelight was, when her affair was discussed, she was so upset about the whole picture that she even stopped
attending any of the film industry events or parties. And then, on 20th of January 2005, she was found hanging
in her own apartment located in Juhu.
These are not the only actresses who left the industry in a ruinous manner, there are many more in this list.
This was and is a big loss to the industry and will always be missed by people associated with this diligence.

Laptop
If you are somebody who can
travel anywhere without a laptop,
it’s fantastic. Otherwise there are
many people who cannot even
think of travelling in a plane with-
out their laptops. You can switch
your laptops on as soon as you
hear the announcement of doing
so.
Ear Plugs
If there is an infant with you, or
you are quite sensitive to the de-
compression that at times occur in
flights, then it is advisable to carry
an ear plug which you can make
your baby wear or can use them
yourself in order to get protection
from that irritating pain.
Snacks
Carrying snacks in a flight is also
a good option, thought there
are many airlines who serve you
snacks on the board itself, but, at
times all of that is paid. So, carry-
ing snacks is an affordable option
which you may choose.
Spare Clothes
Carrying a spare set of clothes is
always good because you never
know when your flight gets de-
layed for any reason. If you are car-
rying a set of spare clothes, it will
be easy for you to freshen up.
Pen/pencil
There are a lot of magazines
which are provided to you in the
aircraft, carrying a pen and pencil
can help you solve various puz-
zles and crosswords mentioned in
the plane. Also, there are various
forms which you might need to fill
up in the aircraft.
Music Player
Time really flies away when you
are passing time listen to your
favorite music. There are many
people who carry their I pods and
music players in order to make
their journey less monotonous.
Books
Books are your best friend, and
they help you stay occupied in a
flight especially when it’s a long
hour flight.
Sudoku
This is something of great fun; you
can kill your time in the flights by
solving great puzzles and cross-
words.
Medicines

pressure in the plane and hence

you suffer.

something you can definitely can
carry in order to kill time in a flight,

essential stuff and do the needful
when you are in the plane.

carried in
a Plane

different stuff as per their likings, however, you need to understand that, nowadays many airlines

for you to carry in the plane, because the rest of your luggage will be checked in, and you will be left
with only a limited luggage which you can carry in the flight. So, why not make it useful for you. Here
is the list of things that are important for you to carry in a flight:

caught over the limit by the boys in
blue. Drink Tracker records how many
drinks you have had, along with the
times of your drinks. Set a target BAC,
and a countdown timer will show you
how long it will take for that target
to be reached. Obviously, we can’t
guarantee its accuracy — so think
about getting a taxi if you’ve had a few.

37. Pandora
Pandora still provides a better
Internet radio experience than
Spotify, so if you don’t want to pay
for premium content, this is your
best bet.
Solid Explorer
Solid Explorer
gives me
everything I
need within
an attractive
and functional
two-paned
interface,
backed by great usability. You can drag and drop files
between directories on your device to other PCs on
your network or even to the cloud.
YouTube Remote
It’s become common
practice to have a PC
hooked up to the ol’ (flat
panel) tube. However,
web sites are often quite
difficult to navigate
when you’re sitting
so far away from the
text. Google knows
this and has released
YouTube Remote.
Install it, pair it with
whatever PC you’re
viewing content on (just sign in to the same Google
Account), and you can then search, create playlists,
manage the queue, pause, skip, and so on, all from
your phone. No squinting required -- your crow’s feet
will thank you.
Public Transport Buddy
is a worldwide public
transport manager that
is of particular use to
anyone city-hopping. I
still use TripView for my
regular commute, but if I
find myself in a strange part of Sydney or Melbourne,
then Öffi provides a great means of finding the
nearest stop, what connections you need to make
and the different options available.
However, if you plan to travel to one of the supported
countries (United Kingdom, USA [San Francisco
and Philadelphia], Germany, Austria, Switzerland,
Belgium, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Netherlands
[Amsterdam], Denmark, Sweden, Norway [Oslo and
Bergen] or Poland), then this app can save you the
trouble of finding the nearest bus to De Wallen.
Untappd
Untappd is like Foursquare for
beer, only the idea behind it isn’t
that you check into a venue,
it’s that you check in a beer. So,
every time you suck down a cool
Juan, you check it in. And just like
Foursquare, you earn badges for
doing certain beer-related things.
However, you can also see where
and what your friends are drinking and then go stalk
them, or see who’s drinking what nearby, so that you
can awkwardly approach strangers and attempt a
conversation over your common interest in cherry
lambics.
Google Keyboard
Google has added
its own keyboard to
Google Play. Google
Keyboard comes
with plenty of
features like gesture
typing, voice typing, word recognition, next-word
suggestion and current-word completion. Type faster
and more accurately on your Android device with
Google Keyboard. You can download Google Keyboard
from the Google Play Store

38. Do’s &
Don’ts
In Online
Shopping
Online shopping is
something that is very
common these days,
not every person has
the time to visit to
numerous markets, as
the work schedule and
in fact the busy life style
keeps people really busy
and hence they are left
with almost no time
for shopping. There are
many websites these
days which provide great
deals on some of the
astounding stuff which
is available for the sale
online.
Here are some safe
online shopping tips
which can make
your online shopping
experience relish able:
39. Use sites that are familiar to you. You’re
safer if you stick to sites you know. If
you’re not familiar with a site, make sure
that the site has a privacy policy and
information about the site’s security
measures.
Know if the site is secure. There are
two quick and easy things to look
for when shopping a site. First, does
the URL start with HTTPS (instead
of HTTP)? And second, is there a
“lock” icon on the status bar that
shows that you are on a secured website?
Pay with credit. When it comes time to
pay for that new gadget/shirt/toy, use
credit instead of debit. Many credit cards
offer fraud protection that debit doesn’t. A
disposable card or gift card is even better,
because the funds are limited to a specific
amount.
Be the master of your own
information. Storing your
information on a trusted site sure
does make things easier when
you come back to buy again. If you
read the news, however, you’ll see
that even secure sites can occasionally fall prey
to hackers. Also, there’s no need for a shopping
site to know your birthday, your ID number, etc.
That information, along with your credit card
number, is ID-heaven to a thief. Keep your personal
information, well, personal.
Don’t Believe Everything You Read. Cyber-
criminals may try to lure you to their site
by offering fantastic deals or unbelievably
great prices. “If it seems too good to be
true, it probably is a fake site or some type
of scam,”. It advices is to stick with well-
known companies, or research a lesser-known site
through google or other search engines.
Use a super strong password. If your shopping
password is 1234, you’re vulnerable
to being hacked. Use a phrase with
numbers and special characters. For
example, “Ireadthedenblog2” is a strong
password.
Shop at home. Don’t use public
computers to enter personal
information.
Check your statements. It’s a good
idea to do this monthly. Make sure the
charges on your credit cards went to
pay for things that you got to enjoy —
not someone else.
Don’t Reload Confirmation Pages
That Fail to Load. A site may
accidentally charge you multiple
times if you keep trying to reload
a confirmation page. Instead,
contact the retailer directly to make
sure your order went through. You can also check
your credit card statement to confirm a charge was
posted.
Do Download an Anti-Phishing Toolbar
These are tools that track down
fraudulent sites and alert you if you
visit one that appears to be asking for
information under false pretenses.
Many are free; try Netcraft or MyWOT.
com for protection.
Read Independent Reviews. Word
of mouth is always the best way
of finding out what a retailer is
really about. While many sites host
reviews on their sites, in some
cases these reviews could be biased
or even fake.
Holiday shopping time is upon us. Shop smart and shop safe online!
