Living the life in its full extend.   I came across a special relation ship in offices which i like to share ... An office spouse, someone who shares every office joke and holds your hand through your problems, isn’t a rarity anymore. AT a dinner party, Condoleeza Rice, the US Secretary of State, referred to President Bush as “my husb…”. One doesn’t know how many soup spoons stopped half-way to the lips and how many hands holding wine stems were left dangling in the air. What one does know is that this inadvertent slip did give an authoritative stamp of approval to the term ‘office spouse’! Oh yes, there’s a creature called the office spouse, who, in all probability is the person your mate turns to at all hours of the day in office – for support, encouragement, cribbing sessions or just a different perspective on many matters. And yes, this person is of the opposite gender than your partner. No, they are not necessarily having sex, but yes, they do share a special vibe. So now get over gasping and understand that this is just a simple bond; a close, reassuring and productive friendship between a man and a woman, who spend an interminable number of hours in an office, together. Daily. Without – again – any under-the-table nooky and between-the-sheets activity. No one’s denying the existence of a certain sexual energy in the air. But in this case, a cuppa in the cubicle is not necessarily followed by a kiss in the kitchen. Simply put, your mate’s office spouse is just a colleague of the opposite sex with whom your partner has a very close but non-romantic relationship. Note:-Thanks to Abha Srivastava (Times ) for the Presidents'Dinner report. Nothing is impossible!!! I like a lot of things to do.Travelling is one of the best activity in life where you can learn a lot more than sitting in a cubicle and expecting  your salary to be rivised year after year.   I am eager to attend  religious cerimonies of any religion.Learn the culrures of different people,thier way of life and how they finish it in a happy way.   It is also commentable to help other people who are physically challenged and financially down.Remember world is a place of oppertunities but some are unfortunately deprived of enjoying the beauty of life in a decent way.Extend your helps and give them a chance to complete this short span on earth with less tears. Insomnia can be thwarted . The problem of sleeplessness can be solved by certain changes in diet and lifestyle. Here are a few tips that’ll help you get a good night’s sleep DIET Avoid heavy dinners Avoid spicy and acidic foods at night as it may cause hyperacidity leading to disturbed sleep Maintain a gap of at least 2-3 hrs between dinner and bedtime Eat a light snack before bedtime, if hungry . Avoid too much water/fluids before bedtime Avoid tea, coffee, colas, chocolates as they are all caffeine-based. Avoid alcohol as it causes fragmented sleep Eat food containing carbohydrates (fruit, pasta, oatmeal and brown rice), as they help produce serotonin, which is a sleep-inducing hormone, in the body Milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid that promotes sleep. Include skimmed milk with meals and as a pre-bedtime snack Have dark green lettuce as it contains compounds that help induce sleep Have foods containing melatonin as it induces sleep. These include bananas, plums, cherries, sweet corn, rice, ginger, etc Avoid foods which contain stimulants (cheese, chocolate, eggplant, sugar, spinach, tomatoes, wine, etc) EXERCISE Vigorous exercise during the day and mild exercise at bedtime will help one get good sleep as it increases the body's production of endorphins, which produce a sense of calmness and well-being . Moderate aerobic exercise, ideally in the morning, afternoon or early evenings, helps get good sleep Aerobic exercise increases the amount of oxygen that reaches the blood. Examples: jogging, swimming, riding a bicycle, jumping rope, dancing, riding a stationary bicycle, using a treadmill and walking. Even a mild workout for 20 minutes a day, 3-4 times a week, may be enough to benefit sleep Mild, non-aerobic exercise is helpful to unwind at the end of the day. A leisurely walk, breathing deeply, yoga (including yog nidra) and light stretching exercises are good ways to wind down .
