What’s your sex minute?

While songs, books, movies and more have insisted that "all night long sex" is the way to rock the boat, you'd be surprised to know that the most desirable length for doing it is just between seven and 13 minutes! 
A US survey conducted to find out how long couples could indulge in sex without it tiring them out revealed that anything longer than 13 minutes was not desirable and anything over that was too long. What's more, anything that lasted between one and two minutes was found to be "too short". 
So we decided to ask a couple of our iDiva readers their "sex minute", read on because this gets very interesting! 

“I can go on the entire night with breaks of course. But as soon as my partner is satisfied she doesn’t want to continue. On an average, we go on for 20 minutes if she doesn’t get too cranky… because after that it just ruins it especially if she’s just lying there doing nothing.” -Joshua Picado, 27, photo co-ordinator

Signs that you are ready for marriage......!!!!!!

So, you’ve been playing the dating game for far too long and are completely tired out; what with the constant stiletto-sporting, living in make-up and over-socialising (whoever thought looking good could be such a pain?). 

You want to hang up those (killer) boots (which are no longer meant for walking, thanks to the wear and tear) and settle down to a life of domestic bliss. Conversely, you are perhaps the kind who has spent most of your life lost in books, and playing ‘broker’ to all your friend’s relationships. Your hair is always secured in a ponytail and the very thought of a guy approaching makes you die of nerves. 

But then, you’ve reached a point in life where you want companionship, and the only way you’ll have it is by getting married. Or, you could just be the girl who has found the man of her dreams, but is scared if he really is the one. Well, in whichever category you find yourself, there’s more to marriage than what meets the eye, and jumping into it in a fit of hormones will spell disaster. 

You might be ready to tie the knot if... 
You feel more than a tad envious and sad when your best friend announces she’s getting married. 

You actually start looking forward to coming back to the same face, night after night. 

Sharing space doesn’t seem like such a bad thing after all. 

You are finally able to trust a man, a 100 per cent. 

You’d be willing to sacrifice your weekly ladies’ night, when your man needs you. 

The thought of opening a joint account doesn’t horrify you so much. 

You want your parents to approve of your partner, and in turn, you want him to adore your parents. 

You’re up for the challenge of doing every thing double. Laundry, cooking, cleaning up....etc. 

The wedding dress and diamond ring aren’t the most exciting prospects of getting married. 

You’re ready to throw your ego out of the window 

‘We’ and ‘us’, have started sounding better than ‘I’ and ‘me’. 

You have achieved financial stability. 

You are aware of your partner’s quirks and feel sure you can live with them. 

You are open to making small changes to your ‘big life plan’. 

You can say the L word and mean it with all your heart and soul! 

As for the guys: 
If you can picture yourself walking down the aisle, without thoughts of running away (a la Chandler from FRIENDS) or breaking into a cold sweat, you’ve reached home base, brother! 

Do you think that everybody should get married for a better future? 

How to fall in love? 

What is the secret of a successful relationship? 

True love is not loving a perfect person but loving an imperfect person perfectly. Is it true? 

Mangalore air crash at a glance




Accident happened : 6.30am 

The runway 

It is a brand new runway. The Mangalore airport is situated on a hillock, and the runway is built on a flat stretch of land, with either ends of the runway sloping downwards. So, if a pilot misjudges his landing or take-off, the aircraft will overshoot the runway and go downhill. Which is what seems to have happened to Air India Express flight IX-812.

Length: 5,800 ft (1,740 mts)
Runway elevation: 336 ft (101 mts)

The weather 

What was the weather like during the crash?

No rain, wind calm but there was dense fog over the airport. Visibility was only 6 km, more than that required.

Passengers 

Total: 166 (137 adults, 19 children, 4 infants and 6 crew)
Survivors: 7

Plane facts 

State-of-the-art Boeing 737-800 inducted on Jan. 15, 2008.

Piloted by Serbian expatriate Capt Zlatko Glusica.

Glusica (55) had 10,000 hours of flying experience.

Theory 1 

It overshot the runway after it landed.

Visibility was 6 km which is more than required and there was "no distress indication" from the pilot, say airport officials. No "constructional deficiencies were noticed".

The plane didn't stop after landing. Could it be a tyre burst?

Theory 2 

The aircraft overshot the runway, hit the fence and went beyond the boundary wall of the airport, broke and went up in flames.

Top 10 things that irritate mums the most

A survey has revealed that the top ten things a mother finds most irritating includes dirty clothes dumped next to the washing basket, wet towels on the bathroom floor and toothpaste left in the sink. 

The research by  www.TheBabyWebsite.comfound that mothers were also irritated with overflowing bins, urine on the toilet seat, and tissues left in pockets in the washing machine.

The survey on 3000 mothers also showed that failing to refill the toilet roll holder, leaving the toilet seat up and finding empty cartons and boxes in the back of the cupboard or fridge, can be major causes of irritation.

"These irritations might seem small and insignificant to other people, but when mums find themselves doing absolutely everything for their families, the endless list of tasks soon starts to grate," the Scotsman quoted Kathryn Crawford, of the website, as saying.

"Mums already have enough to do without cleaning up after dad and the children.

"It would make life so much easier, and the housework would get done so much faster, if other family members chipped in and tidied up after themselves.

"The fact is that many mums in the UK are taken completely for granted, and because of this they find themselves ''mothering'' everyone who lives in the house, including dad," she stated.

The survey also shows 36 per cent of mothers detest picking up the phone to find they are on the end of an automated call.

A third say they hate to see crumbs in the butter and the same percentage are left fuming by shoes left in the hallway.

Fathers are criticised for leaving a room and not turning off the lights, leaving curtains closed when they are the last out of bed and failing to rinse hair from the bath.

And men are also accused of shaving over the sink then leaving the bristles there, dumping muddy shoes outside the back door, and failing to wake up in the middle of the night when the kids start crying.

Children are also at fault, with mothers holding them responsible for storing dirty cups and mugs in their bedrooms and leaving toys scattered over the floor.

Other annoying habits include narrow shopping aisles, finding the toothpaste squeezed in the middle instead of the end and a lack of ‘me time’.

"This poll shows it isn’t just household chores which annoy mums," Crawford added.

But Dr Mary Brown, lecturer in psychology at  Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, said such lists trivialised women, making them seem like ‘martyrs’.

"Like men, women encounter a mixture of political and trivial experiences but we don’t hear about what annoys men," she said.

"There is a danger that women, especially those without adult company and who are not challenged enough, buy into this mindset.

"Instead of acting like martyrs, they are actually good at managing people and capable of laying down ground rules for family members instead of using up their energy getting angry," she added.

This one is dedicated to all my friends:


"bas ek bar wapas lautne ka man karta hai

Aaj har wo din jeene ko man karta hai.

kuch buri batein jo ab acchi lagti hain

kuch batein jo kal ki hi batein lagti hain.

abki baar class attend karne ka man karta hai

Dopahar ki class mein aakhein band karne ko man karta hai.

Doston ke room ki wo baatein yaad aati hai

exam ke time pe wo hasi mazak yaad aati hai,

college ke paas  ka dhabe ki yaad aati hai

tab ki bekar lagne wali photos chehre pe hasi laati hai.

Apni galtiyon pe tumse daat khana yaad aata hai.

Par tumhari galti dekhne ka ab bhi mann karta hai.

Ek aisi subah uthne ka mann karta hai

bas ek bar wapas lautne ka man karta hai.

bas ek bar aur

wapas lautne ka man karta hai."
