8 Creative Ways To Romantically Propose Your Would-Be If You Are Having An Arranged Marriage

In our country, arranged marriages still seem to be the conventional way of going about things. And as shocked as the rest of the world might feel at this concept, various researches prove that most of the times, given different circumstances, arranged marriages are way more successful than love marriages.

There are no two ways about the fact that couples who have been together for years are more comfortable with each other and in most probability, have already proposed marriage. But wouldn’t it be nice to break the ice and propose to your fiancé, if your wedding is an arranged one before you tie the knot?

Well, here are a few creative ways you can do just that.

#1. Through YouTube

In the little time that you have known each other, think of all the things you like about her, and make a video confessing what all it is about her that you absolutely adore. Conclude the video by proposing marriage and post it on YouTube. Then, send her the link of the video. All you can do thereafter is to wait for her reaction. And you never know, you could become a YouTube star overnight if the video goes viral.

#2. Take her friends and family’s help

With the help of her friends, get her to come out of the house for a while. Now, with her family’s permission and help, decorate her room with the things she loves, be it candles, balloons, flowers or chocolates. Surprise her with a ring in your hand when she enters the room. This is one of the most romantic proposals a girl could ever wish for; her own fairytale moment.

#3. The classic box proposal

Send her a huge box through a trusted courier company. Use the classic box-inside-the-box technique. In the last box, place a key with a note that reads, “Here is the key to my heart which only you can open. Would you accept it and be mine forever?” A little too filmy? Well, girls like all the romance you could possibly get hold of, so just go ahead!

#4. At the movies

You will have to shell out a few bucks to bribe the cinema officials, but it will all be worth it. Get them to broadcast your proposal as soon as the movie goes into the interval time. Then, as the proposal message ends, ask her in front of the entire hall to marry you! Girls love it when you show them your affection in front of everyone, out in the open.

#5. On her birthday

If you happen to be lucky and her birthday falls before your wedding date, get yourself a huge gift wrapped box, and place it outside her room with you in it. At midnight, ask her siblings to get her out of the room to open this huge present. When she does, pop out with a banner in your hand that says, ‘Happy Birthday love, will you marry me?’

#6. Just before the engagement

Go to her dressing room just before the formal engagement ceremony is going to take place, and toss the question to her on one knee with a beautiful diamond in your hands. Could it get anymore romantic than this?

#7. At family dinner/lunch

Plan a family day out with both your families. After the day-long picnic is over and you are all enjoying a cup of tea, grab everyone’s attention and pop the question. Getting proposed to, by the guy her parents chose for her, in front of them will be a touching moment for her.

#8. On the radio

If she is a regular radio listener, and you happen to know the exact time and channel she listens then that is a perfect chance for you. Maybe while travelling to work, on her walk or whenever, propose to her by leaving a message on the radio. She will be pleasantly surprised and will cherish this moment forever.

So, give your arranged marriage a touch of love by planning a beautiful proposal for your lady love, and let the bond between the two of you get stronger before you tie the knot.

19 Reasons Why Casual Dating Is Important Before You Get Into A Serious Relationship

Who doesn’t want to be in a relationship? The love, the surprises, the cuddles, the long walks, the candlelight and all that jazz? But, before you decide to take the plunge and settle down for 'the one', you need to get to know yourself a little, your potential partner a lot more and do things that will help you explore yourself. If you are looking to be in a serious relationship, then you must be 100 percent sure that you are doing the right thing. Also, you must never regret that you took this step too early and never actually got to live your life the way you wanted to.

So, to help you figure out why it is so important, we get you reasons that why you need to really date for a while, before you commit to be in a serious relationship.

#1. You need to be sure whether or not he is really into you

Gif via Tumblr

Or, is he just with you for all the wrong reasons? Are his gestures real and make you feel special or is he just interested in being physical with you? Does he remember special dates, your little food allergies, the name of your close friends etc? Or is he just interested in making night plans and is unavailable throughout the day?

#2. Is she taking you for a ride and just passing her time

Gif via Tumblr

Does she love the gifts you give her, the places you take her to and the car you ride in, more than you? Does she shy away from making you meet her friends? Is she available to meet you only on her terms? You are the best judge here!

#3. What if he still lives on his parent’s money and has no identity of his own?

Gif via Tumblr

If he can’t take care of you now, how can you depend on him for giving you a safe and secure future? Men like that lack the sense of responsibility and fail to complete tasks that they start, which also makes them unreliable. And seriously, if he is ready to date, it is high time that he should be ready to work!

#4. You need to take the road less travelled alone to discover yourself

Gif via Tumblr

It is only when you travel alone that you discover yourself, see new places, learn new things and become a much more sensible person! And whether you like it or not, travelling after you are in a committed relationship is more like a romantic getaway.

#5. You need more of those boys’ nights out without the need to explain where you were

Gif via Giphy

Because when you are with our boys you are yourself! The booze, the drives, the tech talks and all that manly stuff that you need to do, would not be possible as easily after you start to date! And, if you happen to be with an overprotective and rather needy girl, you can bid farewell to your boys’ gang for good!

#6. You need more of those all girls sleepovers to talk about boys, paint your nails and gossip all night long

Gif via Tumblr

Painting your nails, talking about boys and gossiping all night long! That’s why you love your girlies and your time together so much!

#7. You need to be sure of all his/her annoying habits and how much of it is bearable for you

Gif via Tumblr

Some guys don’t even realise the annoying things that they do and those habits can seriously get on a woman’s nerves. Like eating with his mouth open, not bathing on holidays till late, burping loudly in public etc. It is you who needs to decide if you are okay with it not just now, but in the long run too!

#8. You don’t need a guy who loves his work more than you

Gif via Tumblr

Not that he should leave work for you, but he shouldn’t leave you for his work either! If his work is really important that he always chooses it over you, he should rather date his work only!

#9. What if he runs away at the sight of your ‘’waking up in the morning, no makeup kind of look’’?

Gif via Tumblr

Come on, you can’t be dressed in your best clothes and decked up all the time! That’s your ‘me time’, ‘relax time’ and ‘you don’t care how you look’ time! And it is only when you are really comfortable with your guy and have been with him for long, that your early morning looks seem normal to each other.

#10. You don’t want things to move too fast when you are still young and have all the time in the world for everything

Gif via Tumblr

You have so much to see, to learn and to do. Relationships can wait, but the time when you are young, full of beans and ready to conquer; the world won’t wait for you forever! Unless your gut tells you that this is really meant to be, live your life being single a little more before entering the other beautiful committed phase of your life.

#11. You need to discover more options and choose the best one for you

Gif via Tumblr

As they say, there are plenty of fish in the sea, so why settle for the first one?

#12. What if he is a sex addict? You need to spend time with him to be sure of his character

Gif via Tumblr

You don’t want to end up being hurt, injured or abused just because you hurried into the relationship. Being careful and aware is better than having a fake happy relationship!

#13. Or a serial killer?

Gif via Tumblr

No seriously, what if he is one? Lol!

#14. Or a true mamma’s boy

Gif via Giphy

Well, when you finally want to settle down, you want a guy who respects his mother, not worships her and runs like a battery-operated toy on her commands!

#15. She could also be an unimaginably true example of a daddy’s/mamma’s girl

Gif via Tumblr

And even after your disapproval, shares everything with her parents and behaves like a spoilt imaginary princess along with letting her folks interfere in your personal matters.

#16. What if this is not meant to be and you suffer a severe heartbreak

Gif via Tumblr

Letting yourself know him or her better is the sanest choice. You not only get to hang out more without any strings attached, but you also get time to decide whether this is what you actually wanted or not and so, avoid getting your heart broken later.

#17. What if he is so unhygienic that you don’t even wish to go near him

Gif via Giphy

Most women like their partners to be neat and clean, well-groomed and dressed with decent public manners and table etiquettes. If you are one of them too, what if this guy you are with turns out to be the complete opposite? Don’t you want to be sure of that before you commit to him rather than regretting later?

#18. And she is the sort of person who tells her friends everything about the two of you

Gif via Tumblr

Yes, friends do share a lot with each other, especially girls, but what if she is the type of girl who lets her BFF’s know every tiny detail about your love life, your sex life, your fights and everything else and gets easily influenced with their advice? You certainly do not want an unwanted third person in your life for the rest of it now, do you?

#19. He might introduce you to his parents after a few dates and you don’t want to get engaged so soon

Gif via Tumblr

Like you might want to skip dating, he might want to skip the long relationship phase and want to settle down for which he makes you meet his folks. What now? You like the guy but don’t want to get married, you need more time but at the same time you don’t know how to say no and certainly don’t wish to break his heart! So, unless you want to find yourself caught in such a dilemma, you ought to wait before rushing in!

Having said that, we do not mean that being in a serious relationship can jeopardise your freedom, but if you rush into the wrong one, it surely will. So, if you want to be with the perfect person, have the perfect relationship and be happy about your decision, take some time before you commit, and get to know yourself and your partner better!

10 Reasons You Should Never Give To Move In With Your Boyfriend

When you are in love, the only thing you want to do is to be with your partner all day long. You want to hang out more, speak on the phone for hours and text each other when the first two options are not possible. But, when you are really sure of your choices and truly believe that your relationship can be the real deal and that your boyfriend is the one who will soon be your husband, what do you do?

Some of you might consider moving in with your partner. There is nothing wrong about it, if you are certain about the future of your relationship. But, there are a few things which should never influence your decision of moving in with your partner. Here we list some of them. Do consider these before you make such an important decision.

#1. Your heart tells you to do so

Image: Ishaqzaade

They say that love is blind and it certainly is! When in love, your heart does not want you to stay apart for even a few hours, and if given an opportunity to live together, your first reaction would be a 'yes'. But, decisions taken without thinking them over and weighing the pros and cons can be fatal for your relationship.

#2. That is the only way you think he will propose marriage

Image: Tamasha

If you think that living with him under one roof, sleeping on the same bed and being available for him anytime of the day or night is what it will take for him to propose, aren’t you really better off without him?

#3. You think you will look cool and modern by doing so

Image: Shuddh Desi Romance

Well, on the contrary, not many people in our society are open to the idea of live-in relationships and more often than not, might look down upon you. Not that it matters much, but it is true.

#4. Your commitment levels might falter if you do not stay together

GIF via Giphy

You may feel that by being together all the time, your love will evolve and so will your fondness for each other. In reality however, you are killing the element of surprise, freshness and spontaneity in your relationship. You might just end up getting sick and tired of each other.

#5. You think that your monthly expenditure will be reduced to half

GIF via Tumblr

You may think that your rent, bills and everything else will be split, while actually, you end up paying more for everything, because now you will be two people staying in one house. Starting a home together is much more difficult than you imagined it to be.

#6. He is the one who wants to move in together

GIF via Tumblr

Do not get forced into it. Only make a decision if you think it is right. This is the choice that will make or break your relationship, so be careful.

#7. His apartment is better than yours

Image: Break Ke Baad

So, go and hang out at his place whenever you feel like. Moving in for that is really silly. Why would you want to give up your own apartment, your space for that?

#8. You feel that is the only way you will fight less and love more

Image: Shuddh Desi Romance

Ever heard of the phrase ‘familiarity breeds contempt’? Staying together means being with each other all the time, except when you are at your respective workplaces. And being with each other all the time exposes you to the other person’s irritating habits. So, instead of fighting less, you might just end up cribbing and arguing more than before.

#9. You do not want to live alone in a rented apartment

GIF via Tumblr

That is not a valid enough reason for you to move in with your partner. Instead, start looking for a roommate rather than jumping into a live-in relationship.

#10. You have been dating since the Stone Age

Image: Break Ke Baad

Well if that is the case, then your next step should be to tie the knot and not move in together. How much more proof or time do you need? Isn’t being with and bearing with each other for so many years proof enough that you two are meant to be?

It is your life, and thus your individual choice to make. By giving you all these points, we just want to make sure you do not take a wrong decision in haste or while being blinded by love.

Yummy Bollywood Mummies With Their Adorable Kids

It’s always delightful to see a mother with her child. A moment which is so pure and pristine, a minute filled with so much of love and tenderness, that you can relish it for hours. And when it comes to our beloved Bollywood mommies, it’s simply drool-worthy. Because, when you see your favourite Bollywood divas with their tiny little versions, you know it’s a double treat. So, without further delay, here are 8 yummy mummies of Bollywood with their little treasures.

#1. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The most beautiful and desirable actress of Bollywood has now turned into the most beautiful Bollywood mommy since her little princess Aaradhya’s arrival in 2011.

When little Aaradhya made into the world, the Bachchans, quite naturally were very protective of the apple of their eye.

But when mommy Aishwarya began moving around with her little bundle of joy, we understood why little Aaradhya was hidden from the paparazzi all this while.

Those curious eyes and that incredibly innocent smile, who wouldn't fall in love with that? 

And everytime little Aaradhyacomplements her mommy's style, we just die of cuteness. Looking at her photos, we sure can say, she is going to be one graceful young lady like her mommy.

#2. Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty is one of our favourite Bollywood mommies. She constantly shares her little man’s photos on her Instagram account, and we can’t thank her enough for that. Shilpa Shetty welcomed a son with businessman husband Raj Kundra in 2012.

Image Courtesy: Instagram

They named him Viaan. Looking at his photos, we sure can say, he has that swag and he sure will grow into a charming young man.

#3. Genelia Deshmukh

She might not be doing any movies at the moment, but she will always remain one of our favourite divas from Bollywood. Genelia and Riteish got married in 2012 and welcomed their sons, Riaan and Rahyl in November 2014 and June 2016, respectively. This is how she gave us a glipmse of her second son Rahyl through her Instagram.

Looking at her Instagram pictures, all we can say is, we love watching her play a doting mom to her two young boys. Her moments with her sons are cuteness personified.

#4. Twinkle Khanna

The smartest and the wittiest Bollywood diva, Twinkle Khanna has sure carved a niche for herself as a writer. Akshay and Twinkle are parents to two wonderful kids, son Aarav and daughter Nitara.

What’s catching our fancy these days is Twinkle’s adorable photos with her sweet little princess, Nitara.

Just like the Bachchans, even Twinkle and Akshay did not share their cutiepie’s photos initially, but whatever little they post these days, it is aww-worthy.

#5. Sushmita Sen

She may not be married or have a partner, but she sure is one hell of a strong mommy who decided to adopt a baby girl when she was just 25. Sushmita adopted Rennee in 2000, and in January 2010, she adopted a 3-year-old baby girl named Alisah.

Image Courtesy: Instagram

And the way she is raising her princesses, it is commendable. She’s a total hands-on mom to say the least.

Image Courtesy: Instagram

Sushmita has loads of fun moments with her daughters, Alisah and Renee and never shies away from sharing it with her fans. Be it her vacations with the girls or walking the ramp with them, Ms. Sen always delights us with the best pictures.

#6. Madhuri Dixit

Image Courtesy: Instagram

She played sexy roles, she played deep meaningful roles, and she wowed us with her dance numbers. She ruled Bollywood in 80s, 90s and then moved to US post her wedding to Dr. Sriram Nene in 1999. Her style, grace and elegance, was so infectious that we could never imagine anyone else filling her shoes.

Image Courtesy: Instagram

But soon came two gentlemen who made it happen. We are referring to Madhuri and Dr. Nene’s handsome sons, Arin and Rayaan born in 2003 and 2005, respectively. Every time the boys are snapped with Madhuri, it invariably turns into one of the cutest moments.

#7. Lara Dutta

Image Courtesy: Instagram

Lara Dutta may not be that active on social media, but whenever she posts a picture with her adorable daughter, we can’t stop beaming. Lara got married to tennis ace, Mahesh Bhupathi in 2011 and the couple welcomed their first child in January 2012.

Image Courtesy: Instagram

And just like her mommy, even this little one has a killer style, and looking at her photos, we are sure she is going to become someone really big!

#8. Gauri Khan

When SRK and Gauri Khan announced AbRam’s arrival, Bollywood, basically everyone was left speechless. No one was expecting this and honestly did not know how to react. 

But when the tiny human made into the world in 2013, he immediately became the cutest star kid everyone wanted to cuddle. His moments with SRK as well as Gauri are too cute to put into words.

He’s a young little charmer already, don’t you agree?  

The journey from a Bollywood actress to now a stunning mommy isn’t easy, but the moment you look at these names, you know it’s not difficult either. Kudos to all you mommies!
