| Top 10 Romantic Movies That Actually Suck Posted: 23 Aug 2013 06:00 AM PDT Romance evokes intense feelings. This is something that probably won't go out of fashion; not any time soon. For someone searching for a perfect dating location, a movie hall playing a romantic flick is an ideal place to be in. However, when you meet the unexpected in the movie theater just after you have invested your hard earned dollars in the picture ticket, you die a stone cold death in a matter of few minutes. There are some romantic movies which can make you bleed dry, really! And they are known as…. 10. From Justin to Kelly:What was set out to be a romantic comedy ended up in a gross torture for you and me alike and all the innocent brothers and sisters. The 2003 trash featured the winner and runner-up of the first season of American Idol. The movie was adjudged the worst ever romantic film ever made on the planet. Amusingly, the director even wanted to add comic touches to it. God Knows who the initial brain behind the project was; it was the worst thing that could ever happen to movie goers. The protagonists are still booed for collaborating in such a ghastly act over mankind.
9. The Last Song:It won't be an exaggeration by any level if we say romantic movies are Valentine Day's deadliest weapon. Envisaged to be a teen romantic drama, this 2010 movie was an adaptation from the novel by the same name. The movie was as numbing as a numbing cream and many of the spectators came out of the movie theatres with bald patches on scalp for the reason they were busy pulling out their hair stands in sheer glumness. Julie Robinson's directorial debut acted as a trigger to end the movie watching passion for many blameless movie enthusiasts.
8. Love Mein Gum:Only the most unfortunate must have watched the movie outside Pakistan but the ones who managed to steal a glance or two feel they’ve been cursed forever. The Lollywood production directed by Altaf Hussain and starring Mohammar Rana (the reigning superstar of the nation) was a perfect example that showcased how easily a romantic script could be shaped up into a horror drama. Packed by thoughtless scenes, the CD's of the Urdu flick should be seized at the earliest if Lollywood guys have some shame left.
7. I'm a Cyborg, But that's OK:Much talked about Korean movie directed by Chan-Wook-Park, this 2006 movie was all about a combat cyborg falling in love for a man in a mental asylum. The movie was destined to develop a new genre of 'cyborg romance' but ended up as a fatal-fall for the movie goers. Until the last scene, no one was able to make out what the movie was all about. The flick that involved psychotic characters, ultimately forced many, including the sturdiest minds, to evolve as psychotics by the time picture ended.
6. Kitzur Toldot Haohavim:Most sucking of the romantic movies I ever happen to encounter in the past 20 years of my life; this 1997 Israeli flick could successfully compete in challenging boredom for supremacy. 40 years olds living with unhappy marriages and extra-marital affairs is what the movie was all about. The projection of plot was in the most mundane taste and the movie was proficient in casting wrong aspersions in the minds of non-Israelis about the concept of Israeli romance.
5. New Year's Eve:"Forgive me but I can't take it any further – also I have only few years left in my life" – a movie-goer came out screaming, pleading for his life. This is when the people waiting out for the show realized what the hell this flick is hell bent on doing to the humanity. Grossly misdirected by Gary Marshall, the movie features a long cast of boring characters who were themselves clueless about the significance of their roles in the movie in the first place. It was more of a flick running on haunted background than romance. Actually, the movie should have been banned and director given one hundred vodka shots in one go for spoiling 'New Year's Eve' in 2011.
4. Glitter:The first time my friend wasted his eyes and also precious penny on the flick, he was out of his mind for a long time to come. Not because he hated the movie to such level but he felt sorry to have been born in the first place – to watch the movie, one fine morning. Almost every hunky dude in the town felt sorry for their existence after the outlandish that this movie presented to them. This 2001 romantic musical nightmare featuring musical diva Mariah Carey was the worst ever made in the given genre. The movie boasted a story for grownups but ended up being geared for 10-year olds. All that glitters is not gold!
3. The Pillow Book:Japanese mostly come out with well brushed tales that usually leave a long lasting effect on minds. This is what lead people to watch this 1996 release. Staring Vivian Wu and Yoshi Oida, the movie easily destroyed the perfect image of Japanse film industry set up in the past by classics such as 'Hachiko'. The slow pace and disturbing characters were proffered a perfect nightmare to the audience in the movie theatre. It would've been better had a pillow was provided at the ticket window by the cinema hall management just to complement the title of the flick.
2. The Notebook:If anything terrible happened to the world, it began with this movie – it's called 'The Notebook'. Those who count the flick high on romantic feed are either emotionally stunted or low on emotional quotient. This 2004 released American drama based on the novel of same name pinched spectators more than striking their romantic chords. It actually opened their diarrhea-strings. No kidding! The same boring and age along story of rich girl dating a poor guy is too – whoop whoop to digest; at least without any beer. Long Live Evil – Long Live 'The Notebook'!
1. Jab Tak Hai Jaan:If someone offers you a birthday cake with toppings of potatoes and jellies made out of chewing gums then 'offended' is the word that you will use for yourself. And, surprisingly if your aunt mistakes it for some delicacy then 'foolish' is the word to describe her. But, the movie that was loose on tale and treatment performed commercially superior to others in its league. The movie starring so called 'King of Bollywood' Shahrukh Khan and beauties Katrina Kaif and Anushka Shankar, was the perfect reminder for everyone – romance is the ugliest word on this planet! God Bless All!

The problem can worsen further if the regular food intake of such a person lacks adequate minerals and nutrients. Therefore, males should select foods not only on the basis of their nutritional value but also consider their role in boosting sperm count. Here are top 10 foods that increase sperm count. 10. Oysters:As widely known, oysters are the most preferred aphrodisiac, courtesy their miraculous properties. They have been projected in the role of testosterone producing foods and aphrodisiac quite openly in the Western world since ages. Sperm cells consist of zinc and oysters are abundantly rich in the mineral. A person who consumes diet rich in oysters has relatively increased sperm count than others but they don't come cheap.
9. Maca:Researchers have found that men who consume around 1,500 to 3,000 milligrams of maca extract a day are blessed with an increased seminal volume.

| Top 7 Signs You Are A Stupid Girl Posted: 22 Aug 2013 11:23 PM PDT Carlo Maria Cipolla, an economic historian, in his easy, “The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity”, mentions some laws of stupidity. These laws warn people against the underestimated harm stupid can cause. Talking about stupidity in girls – how would you actually define it? It's a relevant issue, which must not be ignored. Perhaps, stupid girls lack intelligence, logic, reason, wit, and above all common sense. Stupidity can assumed many forms – while some girls are innately stupid, others adopt stupidity as a defense against harsh reality. There are those rare cases too, where girls in their sense of avoiding guilt act stupid. So, if you are a girl and reading this, do check yourself for the signs of stupidity. Here is some help; 7 signs that confirms that you’re a stupid girl. 7. Obsessed to appear different:When you become obsessed with the belief that uniqueness must be maintained through behaving differently to even most common situations, regardless of right and wrong, then take it as a hint that you are heading towards a stupid future. Being common begins to haunt you and you think by being different you can compensate for your inferiority complex. In a way, it's similar to voluntarily living with multiple personalities. In nutshell, you initiate an illusion to convince you of your individual identity. It's stupid because each one of us is already unique. It can work for a while, but not in long term.
6. Hungry for attention:You never had a stable friend group and now, out of deficiency of positive feedback, you have started altering your behavior and reactions to seek attention among your newly formed friend club. You want attention from each one of them and most of the times all of it for yourself. You want to be the center of attention all the time. It hurts you if no one is noticing even when you are trying to grab their attention through indirect hints. You have even stared to schedule fake phone calls and pretend talking on intellectual or important topics like politics, economics, sociology and what not. If you sense any of these signs, surely you are heading towards stupidity.
5. You tell same story twenty times:While your friends entertain themselves by gossiping about the latest prank they played to their younger brother or sister or having a line of cool dudes after them, you try to come up with something similar to make everyone believe that your life is also full of fun and adventure. To grab the attention and for being entertaining, you even start cooking stories out of thin air. To impress people, you keep telling them the some stories, of course the same story to a new group of people. That's because it worked a couple of times.
4. Access pre-occupied exclamations:You are always presuming likes and dislikes of your friends, especially your crush. Their likings are already your favorite and there is hardly any opinion with which you don't agree with them. You are using some exclamation phrases as a reaction to every word your friend is speaking out like OMG, don't tell me, really? you must be kidding me and so on. If you friend says, "I like movies", then you'll display expressions of wondrous attention like you never hear people liking movies. At this point, you need to put a full stop to your exaggerated exclamations and presumptions.
3. Emotional bully and a universal victim:No matter what it takes, but stupidity transforms you into an emotional bully and you try to appear as an unfortunate victim. You tell it to everyone you wish to make friends with. Even a negligibly small disagreement of your boyfriend with you is an opportunity to announce an emotional world war. It doesn’t take more than a couple of seconds to fire tears like crying is a mini Gatling gun and fake suicide warnings are nuclear weapons. You find it an effective way to get all the attention by emotionally bullying or blackmailing your friends or boyfriend.
2. Lifestyle magazines decide what you want:Wise quotes, from seers and holy books, advice us to concentrate on our inner calling, to find ourselves, our purpose, desires, and our true identity. You are following the advice, but instead of contemplating inside your head, you are looking at Oprah or Hilary. You think you must want what these celebrities always say is worth having, and instead of your heart, you spend hours on Internet searching top 10 tips to impress people around you. Lifestyle magazines become your holy guides for living a perfect life.
1. Stalking and jealousy:While you think you are following Darwin's theory of 'survival of the fittest', you indulged yourself in a very lethal practice; comparison with those around you. Your jealousy has led you to stalking on your boyfriend or your presumed rival chicks. You stalk and make unnecessary comments on Facebook walls even when you have nothing of value to say. After all this, you think others are responsible for all your anxiety, anger, loneliness, hate, and fears. It matches perfectly with the role play of a victim.

| 6 Ways Internet Is Destroying Kids Posted: 22 Aug 2013 11:16 PM PDT Being one of the most revolutionary inventions, internet has forever changed the communication modes as more and more people shift to the virtual world and experience more comfort and power in a globally connected environment. Internet has proved nothing less than a boon and a magic box that we have only begun to explore. Great power also brings more responsibility. Declining social contacts and increasing online presence has governments and health researchers worried with some even holding that 'Internet addiction' to be a psychological disorder. The young users are the most vulnerable to digital technologies. A Consumer Report survey found many disturbing trends among children addicted to the internet, Facebook and other social media sites. They findings were that there are about 20 million children active on the internet since 2011, of which 7.5 million are less than 13 years of age, 5 million were 10 or less than that. Children surfing the internet went largely unsupervised by parents. Kids aren’t supposed to access Internet without parental guidance for where it is a treasure house of knowledge but at the same time it can be lethal. Internet is destroying the young minds due to Open access and much exposure to explicit, violent and disturbing content at a young age is damaging young minds fast whereas parents are left struggling to find a way out as their kids display far more knowledge of PC and Internet usage than they do. To discuss major negative influences, we have a priority list of 6 ways Internet is destroying the kids. 6. Virtual world addiction:Addiction to a virtual world is cutting out children from the real world and turning them more and more withdrawn into closed and sit-in environments. The long term effects as kids turn more and more to the web for meeting the needs of a good education, entertainment, and social contact are yet to studied but the kind of violent and brutal behavior noticed in some American children who have gone on killing rampages is an indicator about the latent dangers of being addicted to a virtual world.
5. Sexually-deviant or sexually-addictive:It's a natural for sexual curiosities to grow with age of kids. An early exposure to explicit pornography over the internet, a study showed, alters children's natural perception of sexuality in one way or other. Kids turning sexually-deviant or sexually-addictive and unsafe sex among adolescents leading to rise in sexually transmitted diseases have been attributed to long internet exposures.
4. Physical and creative inactiveness:Sitting for long hours before computers, staring at screens is making children dull and inactive, depriving them of opportunities of exploring their creative abilities and leading a healthy lifestyle. Obesity is one of the results of deficiency of physical activity. Eyes, shoulders and neck regions have become vulnerable to early body ailments. Lack of physical activity is hindering natural strengthening of body muscles. Scientists have always linked healthy bodies to healthy minds but in the age of internet, this age old tested dictum is being defied as internet addiction among children increases.
3. Concentration, weak memory and short attention span:Recent studies have shown that availability of easy study material and a wide range of educational applications are revolutionizing the way kids acquire advanced knowledge data bases, but it's disturbing the way they store this information. Children nowadays do not write down relevant textual material, but bookmark the sites or copy-paste onto word docs. With the need to store information diminishing, the children's memory powers are getting weaker. Easy access to exaggerated content on internet not only distracts children but teachers are noticing reduced attention spans in students. Kids find it hard to concentrate as they deal with multiple tabs where they constantly hop to Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, Google, gaming sites etc. A prolonged exposure to the same concept has kids start losing their concentrating abilities, which directly influence their productivity in academics and social life.
2. Exposure to cyber crimes & effects of anonymity:The Consumer Report survey revealed that over one million kids faced harassment, threats or were exposed to cyber bullying in the year 2011. Number of 13 year olds or younger accessing the internet, since then has gone. Inexperienced young minds are an easy target on Internet and social media sites. A survey found that over 80 million Facebook accounts are fake and socially anxious children find it a more comfortable way to communicate that way as it does not involve face to face interaction. Instead of an additional aid, it becomes an unnecessary wheelchair for kids. It lets them escape from reality and thus entertain their abnormal social behavior.
1. Social, emotional and cognitive development:Childhood friendships last a lifetime. But the generation now spending more and more hours on the internet and not interacting socially is depriving them of building many bonds of friendship in the real world. Social behavior in the real world gets little share of attention due the overuse of social media websites leading to false notion of friendships or just virtual friendships. Reduced outdoor activities and with not enough social bonding, resulting in isolating upbringings because of excessive usage of internet is causing emotional imbalances in children often leading to deviant and anti-social behaviors.
