Along with our prime minister, Narendra Modi, looks like our very own Bollywood is very keen in extending its ties with neighboring friend China. As we all know Salman Khan will be working Chinese actor Zhu Zhu, in “tube light”. And if things fall in place our b-town ladies Priyanka or Deepika will be seen romancing chinese actor Deng Chao in Siddharth Anand’s next “love in Beijing” in his recent statement, Siddharth said that he wants an actress who already has great international presence and appeal. Although he didn’t mention any names, it’s not difficult to guess that it could be either Deepika or Priyanka.
Sonakshi Sinha will be paying tribute to Amar Jawan Jyoti and the fallen soldiers it commemorates with the co-star John Abraham. On his own initiative, the 43-yearold actor also wants to make an appeal to the Indian government on behalf of the Research and Analysis Wing.

For the independence and progress of the community, Paswan founded the Dalit Sena in 1983. He is regarded as an important Dalit leader of India.

Into politics-

Ram Vilas qualified the civil service exam and was then selected for the police training in Scheduled Castes (SC) quota.

LOVE LIFE... JAZZ
RULES OF HAPPY LOVE LIFE The feeling of being in love and being loved is so serene, but it’s not so easy to keep that feeling going. Every couple has their shares of ups and downs and each of them handle it in their own way. The secret for a lasting love filled relationship is to follow certain rules. Zoom conducted a small survey among couples to know what keeps them going. Here is a small list of rules they have chalked for a happy love life.
• Right way to fight
Keep in mind, when you are arguing ensure not to call your partner names. Let your partner finish saying their sentence, after which you can put forward your point. If your anger escalates and things get really bad then take a break from arguing and distract your mind towards other things. Never initiate a discussion when you are angry, take time to cool off your mind and then confront your partner regarding the matter.
14
November 2016 | zoombangalore
• I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine
No person wants a demanding partner, but everyone appreciates a person who can compromise. So the next time you want your partner to do something for you that he/she might not agree to, just sweeten the deal. Like “Sure, why don’t we watch your serial on TV today and tomorrow I can invite my friends to watch a cricket match”. Or “Fine, your mother can stay with us a couple of days and after she leaves you can take me shopping for some jewellery.
• Be a team, you are not running solo
When a couple gets into a relationship, it’s like signing a lifelong merger deal. You just don’t share their happiness you share their problems too. Never let your partner face problems on their own, be a part of it and face it together. It’s all about being a team, no matter how small or big the problem is facing it together. Even if it is as simple as she putting on weight, rather than pointing it out help her to lose weight. Join a gym together and be by her side.
• Keep your eyes on the prize
You both want the same thing-love and happiness. So stop making mountain out of a mole hill and stop nitpicking on the smallest things. So what if they forgot when you first met? It’s doesn’t mean he is not into you. Neither it is that important, focus on the good parts of your relationship.
• No need to feel ashamed in going to therapy
When going through a rough time, it’s not easy to see the other person’s point of view. Sometimes you are so lost in your point of view that you don’t even want to listen to what they have to say. There are numerous studies conducted that show couples who seek counselling or therapy are more successful in solving their problems compared to those who don’t go. Getting an expert to help you sort your problems spares you from spoiling the relationship.
• Keep communicating
Yes, the more you talk the more you connect. You may not have much to talk about each other after a given point in life, but life doesn’t end there; talk about politics, money, future plans, region, kids etc. As boring as it may sound, you’ll find it a lot more helpful.
• Do things together, even play together
Make it a priority in your relationship to find and play a sport that you love. If not sport a hobby that both of you enjoy, the point is to find something that can bond you. Be it trekking or swimming or painting even, find that hobby and enjoy doing it together.
• Add spice to your life
Dullness in a relationship can slowly lead to dissatisfaction and later disinterest. So making it a point to go on dates, deck up and go out to party, dinner at a classy restaurant or even a trip to Maldives. Add variety to your life and do them together, it’ll bring you closer.

So, choose a location according to your wish. Historical places and iconic structures usually have details and give depth to the pictures. Historical places are always a great choice because they represent standing the test of time in a sense, and are symbolic of strength and tenacity in good times and bad. Much like what every couple wants from a marriage. Second option can be nature. Nature’s serenity automatically adds a lot of emotion into the pictures. Hills, Lakes, rivers, beaches are few options. If you are a not so shy couple you can hold your shoots in public places amidst the crowd.
What to wear? To look the best is all you can afford to have a successful pre-wedding shoot. Wear anything but see to it that you’re matching your partner. Bright colors are advisable suiting your location. Your outfits should look bright and new. And of course DO NOT forget to wear your most beautiful smile. A smile can set everything straight. 24

Sex in a new relationship RELATIONSHIP
A do or don’t?
You met him last week at a friend’s dinner party. He seems like a guy both you and your parents could fall in love with. Plus, he’s hot and wants you back. So why not fix a date that’ll end at his place? That’s logical, right? No, it’s not. A new study by Cornell University, US, has found that if you delay having sex with a potential partner, you’re likely to have a more fulfilling relationship later on.
36
November 2016 | zoombangalore
Researchers of the study insist that it is better to abstain early on in a courtship or build up a gradual sexual relationship-this is based on studying the effects of premarital sex. The study involved 600 couples consisting of women under the age of 45 and asked them about subjects like commitment, intimacy, sexual satisfaction, communication and conflict. It concluded that sexual satisfaction at an early stage of a relationship is detrimental to a healthy relationship and does not bring in aspects like caring and understanding in the future. It also goes on to suggest that courtship is a time for exploration and decisionmaking about the relationship, “when partners assess compatibility, make commitments and build on emotional and physical intimacy”.
Get to know him better
There are three prerequisites that every couple should consider before getting into a sexual relationship. First, both partners should ensure they have sex when their self-esteem is high. * Factors like guilt and inhibition shouldn’t enter the picture. * Second, the partners have to trust each other, so they don’t feel let down. * Third, both partners should be physically comfortable with what’s happening in the bedroom. It said that those who didn’t hurry into a sexual relationship had learned “to talk and have the skills to work with issues that always come up later”. The more you know someone, the better decisions you can take—sexual and otherwise.

Luxury-leaning, green-minded customers, for example, soon will have the option of the C350e plug-in hybrid. And folks who might otherwise be attracted to the Audi S4 and the BMW 335i xDrive will be mightily tempted by the car here, the2016 C450 AMG 4MATIC.
Shovin’ It
Acceleration is forceful, as the power is delivered in a rapid crescendo and with but a whiff of turbo lag. Mercedes conservatively pegs zero to 60 mph at 4.9 seconds. As with the C63, Sport and Sport+ downshifts are served up just when you want them with a throttle-blipped exhaust bark once you go for the brakes. All the while, the V-6 sounds incredible, with a lighter, less restrictive exhaust system than the C400 and a delicious crackling pop-pop-pop on overrun that recalls that of the Jaguar F-type V-6. This is a powertrain that encourages you to wring it out. The car rides on a uniquely developed multilink suspension with three-stage electronically adjustable dampers that come straight out of the C63. Steering response is immediate, with satisfyingly linear buildup of effort and copious feedback tickling the driver’s fingertips. Even on long, winding descents, the brakes (with rotors measuring a robust 14.2 inches up front and 12.5 inches out back) always seemed to have enough power in reserve, with excellent pedal feedback.
Almost All the AMG, All the Time The C450 AMG looks almost exactly like the C63 and has a nearly identical interior, including the must-have optional one-piece racing-style seats, as the C450 weighs some 200 pounds less than the C63, it drives smaller and feels nimbler, lending the midlevel car its own charm. One might see it as the spiritual successor to the 2002–2004 C32 AMG, which, when we last tested one, started at roughly where the C450 AMG 4MATIC is likely to fall without considering inflation.
So the eminently satisfying C450 AMG packs enough performance to be a full-blooded AMG model just a decade ago, and today it offers something like 75 to 80 percent of an Affalterbach special. Which is to say that it’s damn good.

Trance music lovers are going to love it. Butters club, club aquido, club blue, club cubana, fiplee’s are few famous clubs in Goa to look out for.

It’s not so luxurious or expensive like Mumbai, and not so hippie like Goa, but it offers a nice mix of everything. Most of the happening nightlife takes place in discos, pubs, night clubs and super-sized restaurants. There is an area in the center of the city called Connaught Place (or C.P.), which reminds us of New York. F-bar lounge, G-lounge, Raasta, Ssky bar and lounge etc are few exotics to mention.

WAYS TO WEAR MAKEUP INSIDE MASQUERADE MASKS ...
You never know when you have to take off your mask, so your face should look flawless. Know more about wearing make-up inside masquerade masks? Check out how in the following tips 1. USE TOP QUALITY LIQUID FOUNDATION When you take off your mask at some point, which means that your skin should look amazing. Apply a water resistant foundation on your skin using a damp sponge. Don’t use powder and instead opt for a finishing spray to keep your makeup intact. 2. USE CONCEALER PRIOR TO APPLYING EYESHADOW Start by preparing the lids using a concealer or an eye-shadow primer, and follow the lash line using a black gel pencil. 3. PROTECT YOUR FALSE LASHES Some masquerade masks are extremely heavy, so as a woman it’s important to keep your underneath makeup intact. So to protect your lashes you may have to think of placing them after putting the mask on your face. 4. USE WATERPROOF MASCARA Waterproof mascara is more effective than traditional mascara, Waterproof mascara is created using several oils, that guarantee it will not smear. 78
November 2016 | zoombangalore
5. LIPSTICK – BE BOLD Let’s not forget the purpose of the party, and the best way to keep your lipstick on the lips even when you’re wearing a masquerade mask is to invest in a mask that reveals your mouth. 6. APPLY GLITTER To make sure your eyes and skin remain flawless, you can add some glitter to prevent the mask from sticking to your face. 7. DON’T USE CREAMS AND MOISTURIZERS Prior to applying makeup on your face, don’t use a cream and opt for a primer instead. Creams will make you sweat under your mask, and by the end of the night your make-up will be ruined. 8. HOW TO FIX YOUR EYEBROWS Don’t outline them too much with a pencil because it’s not resistant and a mask will totally destroy the shape. Instead, you could just brush them and add just a tiny amount of make-up to make the eyebrows pop-up.
