Where is the hitchhiker’s guide to look like a fashionista and a beauty queen?

I was a happy little kid who hardly ever bothered about dressing up for the world. I wasn’t given a memo and suddenly the world expected me to doll up. The first streak of free and unsolicited advice came from my parlour aunty.

This happens every time I visit her for the occasional eyebrow plucking because unibrow ain't that welcome for any function. She says the same set of dialogues and she just won't give up. From politely asking about my acne issues, she goes on to tell me on how I might miss out on getting a nice and good looking husband in future, only because I was stingy and did not get a cleanup or made myself go through the regular horror of hot waxing. I wish the world understand that a few of us do not care about the superficial notion of beauty and make-believe fashion, and our kind is not extinct yet.

Do you feel the same too? Would you say #metoo?

In my head, I have no frocks to give but I walk out thanking her, until the next time.

11 Tricks to Appear Smart in Class

Can you appreciate a good sense of humor, without getting offended? Mantra : Fake it, because you can definitely not make it. 1. Pick an argument with the teacher on anything . Intimidate them with your loud arguments. The arguments need not be logical. 2. Ask a doubt about something very unimportant, irrelevant and very vaguely related to the topic being taught.

Start your questions with "This may sound weird/stupid", so that the teacher tells you that it is not stupid. Not stupid means smart. Which means the teacher acknowledged your smartness. Bask in the glory. 4. Ask the teacher to go bac...

11 Tricks to look like a true leader during team-meetings.

Fake it, because you will never make it. 1. Order people around. Don't do any work. Because leaders lead , they don't work. 2. Don't research before starting anything. Don't think before starting anything. If somebody questions what you said/did/imposed upon people/decided, tell them about your vast experience in every field that ever existed in the history of mankind. Tell them about the deep insights that only you have. 3. Quote random websites and figures when somebody dares to question your great insights. 4. Call people for meeting again and again, even when there's nothing to discuss about and nothing to do. Divide the non-existent work among the team-members and chillax. 5.

Speak until the other person zones out and accepts whatever you want (probably because they can't be...
