The Rules for Dating to get Married

Marriage_rules
I love relationships, talking, listening, understanding and listening again. That is one of the reasons I set-up my personalized match-makings service in London. 

I've been asked to post more on relationship issues and because this gives me great pleasure I will do so.

The Rules for Dating to get Married: Rule One - Expectations.
 
Ladies when you begin dating it is OK to let the Gents know that you are looking to settle down. Not on the first date but within the first month if you like him. Your time is precious to you, don't think he will change suddenly. There is nothing wrong with having 'THE CONVERSATION' - it doesn't mean you are desperate. It means that you are honest and open. He may only be looking for some short-term fun. 
 
You are preparing the stage for him to enter your show.

Fighting Biased News Coverage - Do It Yourself Using Facebook (FreedomFlotilla)

Picture_5

I've written this post so that we can all do our little bit to loosen the grip the big media distrubtuors hold over news reporting. Everytime I have attended a demonstration in London the news outlets especially the BBC have been incredibly biased on coverage. The last demonstration I went to there were 200,000 people present and most major news stations reported that only 6,000 attended- shamelessly falsifying the information. There is shocking reports that Twitter disabled the Flotilla hastag has sent shivers down my spine.

If you are attending the demonstration tomorrow  for Flotilla you should report the news yourself. If people in Iran were able to stop their government from censorship - with their lack of internet/mobile/computer access, people in the west should be able to do the same. It's very simple to do.

How to shop fast & look great with a Ruby Smith.

Fatema_yasmine_ruby_red_dress
When having to shop with limited time it is best to limit your options. I only had 2 hours to buy a dress to wear for James and Claire's wedding, now known as Mr and Mrs Smith. 
I was feeling a little bloated (my post wedding weight) so I wanted something that would cover me up and squeeze everything into place. 
 
Limitation one: Sleeves and full length
 
This is my first non-Desi wedding and it was safe to assume that I didn't need to wear all the colors of the rainbow and the contents of a jewellery shop
 
Limitation two: No jewellery + accessories  
 
I would be travelling all the way up to Bath (2 hour drive) so it had to be transport easy
