How to impress your wife? Listen to your wife!

Here are some best ways to keep your wife happy and be a "GOOD HUSBAND":) -

1) Shopping: Accompany with your wife for Shopping. This is important because women like their husband to accompany with them for their shopping and also if you want to shop, you ask your wife to come with you for your shopping. She will be glad about it. Even after 3 hours of "shopping" in one shop (say Rajmahal) and she says she did not like any item there and she wants to go to another shop (say Pothys) you will have to gladly accept. That is painful, but you got to do that - so that your wife will be happy for it.

2) Smiling Face: How bad your day might be, and how stressful your day might look for you, but if you keep smiling face and also be little funny and keep your wife smiling too, that will make your life happy.

3) Never talk bad about in-laws: That is said clearly in few words. Let me say that again - Never talk bad about in-laws. She can talk bad about your mom and dad, but you can never talk bad about her mom and dad! That is a rule!!

4) One day help - When you are on a holiday, do all the house-hold work in your home. Like Sunday, you cook and take care of your children, that definitely makes her happy.

5) Recognition - Give her recognition for anything. This is part of management anyway - even for your employees you got to do that. Even if the food which she prepared is not that great, praise that it was/is good. When she dresses up, say that she looks beautiful.

6) Express - Express your love all the time. Say I Love you whenever possible.

7) SEX - Last but not least, Sex is important. Have sex with your wife as much times as possible. Listen to her in the sex and do not just do your part and sleep off. Listen to her!! Do the way she likes!!

Have fun!!

Some of the things I like(d) in Madurai

I would like to get up early in the morning, get ready and take my dad's moped (as i remember in childhood) and go to Perumal temple near Crime branch Periyar bus stand madurai. This temple is in fact small and beautiful. I park the moped just opposite the temple, which I think costs Rs.2 (it might have increased by now). Then give off my chappals to the chappal stand, which I think is free.

I get into the temple and it has its own temple smell. It is in fact a pleasant smell in the early morning. Note that this is before 6:30 or 7 in the morning.

Lord Vishnu's vigraham is huge in this temple and we can pray without any hassles in this temple, compared to other perumal temples in india. Also, this temple has less crowd usually, so it is easy and close view of the lord.

After done with temple, I would go to a tea shop or magazine shop and buy a "The Hindu" newspaper. Buy a "Week" magazine. Go back home and have a coffee and read newspaper front to end, except Sports section. Usually i am not interested in Sports section.

In the pre-noon time of the day, I would go and play street cricket with my friends near Jaihindpuram

In the mid of the day - I would go near Madura College and right opposite there are water melon carts in which slices of water melon are sold. i enjoy the water melon and/or pineapples sliced and touched with red chilli powder and salt.

In the afternoon, I would have lunch prepared by my mother. After that take some rest at home:) take nap! In the evening, after coffee, spend some time with friends near by and go to town hall road area and walk up the street. Eat boiled groundnut sold in the carts. This is a main street in Madurai and in the central area of Madurai. I have liked more of Central and Southern Madurai, because I grew only in southern part of Madurai. Southern part of Madurai is actually the one which is in the southern side of the Vaigai river in Madurai.

Also - after sometime, have soup on the road:) I know it is unhygienic, but it is good stuff - I have enjoyed for sure.

After that, in the night have dinner. Go for a walking around TVS nagar. Pretty much touch Kovalan nagar, TVS Nagar, Srinivasa Road, Jaihindpuram area, Sathya Sai Nagar area etc., I really enjoyed this walking in the night in Madurai area.

Note - these were some of the things I enjoyed in Madurai, when I was a bachelor and was taking a month break between my work at Bangalore.

Madurai Beauty Parlour: Beauty Business

Based on 2004 statistics, there were 1500 beauty parlours in Madurai.
Can you believe it? Imagine, how many beauty parlors might be there in Madurai right now in 2008?

It is a human desire to maintain your body and skin. Since we lack both time and patience, most of us prefer that someone else does it for us as only then can we relax and enjoy.

It is estimated that there are over 1,500 beauty parlours in Madurai. This explosive growth has come about in less that a decade's time, says Indu whose family owns three parlours - one on Town Hall Road and two in Anna Nagar and is planning a fourth. She endorses that beauty business rakes in money if only you are able to give "superior and satisfying services" to your customer.

What scares the Jain family successfully running their salon in KK Nagar for almost two decades now is the mushrooming of beauty parlours.

"The problem is an unregulated business with no monitoring,'' says Mr.Rishabh Kumar Jain and shares that nearly 1,000 parlours in the temple town are run by either unqualified or inexperienced diploma holders from their homes.

"There are women who do not want to be seen visiting a parlour and are comfortable walking into the house of her friendly nextdoor neighbour or are known to enter a parlour after sunset to avoid being spotted easily,'' says Indu, who also feels that beauty clinics have undergone a sea change over the years. The big ones who can afford are fast converting into complete centers of fitness and personality enhancement than simply restricting themselves to beauty lifting services.

The low investment-high return feel good factor of beauty business lures young girls take up a career in beauty procedures and techniques. Madurai itself gets 60-odd students from the Women's Polytechnic besides an equal number from other crash courses every year. While some of them join the big parlours to acquire practical experience, many it seems start business straightaway from their homes and garages or even makeshift sheds investing as less as Rs.50,000.

Can you believe it takes Rs.6000 to Rs.10,000 for hair straightening in Madurai?

Madurai Sex & Madurai Beauty/Madurai Girls/ Madurai Women

Madurai Sex & Madurai Beauty/Madurai Girls/ Madurai Women

Sex is a very pure concept - theoritically and practically!
It is all about perspective. It depends on culture.
If you are a westerner, sleeping around with differnt women is fine, but if you are a easterner, it is not. Whatever, it is - after marriage - you have to have Sex with only one person. That is something both westerner and easterner agree to.

From Madurai perspective, Sex is something, which has to be had and enjoyed with only one person - throughout your life. I agree with it and it is correct.

Since Madurai is a conservative community, even talking about sex might offend someone or elders. Better not talk about it.

There is an advantage to having sex with only one person throughout your life - you prevent lot of STD(Sexually transmitted diseases) like AIDS spreading around and our health is also good.

It is good for health to have sex once in a day with your spouse - in other words it is good for your heart. It reduces the risk of heart failure.

Do you know Madurai has too many sex workers (prostitutes - who trade body/sex for money) than many other districts of tamil nadu? I believe the count is reduced these days. Do you know Madurai has more HIV affected patients in the Government Hospitals
than most of the other districts of tamil nadu? sad, but I think it is true.

Soceity has to grow up further and young adolescents have to get Sex education, and be aware of good and bad. They should be literate enough not to do anything wrong. The youngsters has to be motivated enough to make sure they are walking towards their
goals, instead of doing some wrong things in their youth stage.
