Ranbir Kapoor the 30 year old Bollywood actor says that his heart beats only for the beautiful actress and dancing diva, Madhuri Dixit. In his upcoming film ‘Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani’ he has done a special song with the Bollywood actress. Very often, Ranbir has been linked with a number of his co-stars who he says are just friends. He says that people just keep talking about him and link him with his co-stars as he works with them.

According to him, his heart beats for just one woman and that is Madhuri Dixit. He calls her his ‘Dream Girl’ and that once she appears on the screen it is as it light seems to spread in all directions he adds. Right from his childhood, he had a dream of dancing with her and this dream was fulfilled through the upcoming film ‘Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani’. This he states during the promotion of this film. He does an item song called ‘Ghagra’ with Madhuri in the film and feels extremely lucky to be working with her. On May 31st, the film is expected to hit the theatres.

In fact he has made a revelation that it was he who had made a suggestion to Ayan Mukerjee, the director to add a kissing scene with Madhuri Dixit at the end of the song. He says that in life whether or not he would get a similar chance or not, he does not know. Four retakes had to be taken for this song and he assures that these were not taken intentionally. Ranbir played the role of a mute and deaf boy in the film ‘Barfi’ and attained maximum fame for it. He states that he would not like to play a similar role like the role he played in the film made by Anurag Basu, again as now he is interested in new characters. Period, suspense, thriller and action films are what he is looking towards now, Ranbir says. He states that his father Rishi Kapoor is a fine actor and he is a big fan of his father. However, he wouldn’t want to repeat any of the character’s played by his father as he wouldn’t be able to do complete justice to those characters like his father.

Prom season is finally here and whilst some of you may already have your gown prepared, others will be starting to panic frantically about what to wear for the special occasion. Whilst proms now take place across Europe and other countries, America is where they originated which makes it vital to show others that we can still throw a better prom night than anyone else. As a once in a lifetime event, you are able to pull out all of the stops by spoiling yourself a little bit more than usual.

For those of you who are seriously unprepared, here are some of the prom trends of 2013 that you should be working this season.

Long Slits

Gowns featuring long slits have been a hit ever since the beautiful Angelina Jolie stepped out onto the red carpet wearing a black thigh-high slit dress at the Oscars in 2012. Since then, everybody has been going mad for skirts and dresses with slits. This trend tends to be more flattering on women with long legs. Of course, if you plan on opting for this trend, make sure you do it tastefully.

Outside space is an extension of the home, so the same decision-making process can be employed when it comes to selecting furniture and designing a great garden. No longer simply a green patch to be used occasionally, gardens can be developed creatively to make an impact all of their own.

When it comes to designing effective outside space, there are a number of factors that come into play, including space, budget and individual preference. By thinking about these factors from the outset, it's easier to focus on getting the end result perfect.

Outside structures.
From children's playhouses to orangeries and conservatories, there are a number of buildings that can all become a focal point and have an impact on outside space. Before purchasing a garden structure, first consider the area and make sure it fits comfortably. A greenhouse or conservatory can be a welcome addition but should not dominate the area.

If space is an issue, there are plenty of ways to be creative and many sheds and garden buildings are neat and modern, allowing for the best use of any garden. No longer just constructed from wood or glass, a range of materials can be found, including resin and acrylic. With so much choice, it's not difficult to find something that blends in or stands out, depending on preference and which will make the most of the space.

Patio furniture.
Garden furniture can be difficult, especially since the choice available is somewhat overwhelming. Added to that, tables and chairs need to not only be functional, but also fulfil a range of purposes, from al fresco dining to relaxing in the sun. As a major investment, garden furniture must be durable, fit for purpose and aesthetically pleasing. From sleek aluminium and glass to natural wicker and wood, there is something for every taste and budget, but it can take some deliberation to get it right.

Consider the overall effect you are hoping to achieve and decide what style of furniture will fit in best. A contemporary or oriental garden will require a modest, uncomplicated garden set, while a traditional English garden would suit something altogether different.

Accessories.
Gardens can be wild or manicured, but every garden can benefit from accessories. From flamboyant water features to ornate bird tables, each and every garden can find its way through creative accessorising. When opting for a piece that will take pride of place, look at any existing features and structures before choosing a complimentary item.

A modern trend is to compartmentalise gardens and in these cases, it's nice to choose something for each section. For example, an oriental area could include bamboo chimes, while in the same garden, a planted area could make room for attractive pots.

Whether you desire orangeries and conservatories, or a smart garden set, outside space is important and should be seen as a continuation of indoor living space. By looking at a garden critically, it's easier to design it appropriately with an injection of creativity to make the space come alive.

A good eyelash enhancing product could be the key to giving you the most appealing eyelashes that you could possibly have. You need to plan your order properly by taking a careful look at the things that will come with such a product.

A Curler Can Help

It might be a good idea to find an eyelash curler to go alongside your eyelash enhancer. A good curler may be used to improve the way that your eyelashes can absorb the product you add onto your eyelashes. This should be designed right to make it easier for your lashes to feel curved and appropriate.

The final match in the IPL 2013 was played on May 26, 2013 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. Chennai Super Kings were beaten by Mumbai Indians by 23 runs.

Dhoni, the CSK skipper states that many of the batsmen did not play too good shots except for Raina and Hussey due to which the team faced a setback. For Mumbai Indians, the win was a kind of sweet revenge, taken for losing against Chennai in the year 2010.

Mike Hussey, the 38 year old Australian cricketer was presented with the Orange Cap for getting 733 runs under his belt this IPL.

Samson said he felt extremely lucky to be part of the Rajasthan Royals team. The Fairplay award went to CSK while Shane Watson won the MVP award. For Sachin Tendulkar the batting legend from India, this IPL 2013 crown is another feather addition in his cap. He confirmed that this IPL tournament was his last.

No doubt you've noticed that when you have guests over, no matter where the party starts, inevitably they end up in your kitchen. It seems to be instinctive in all of us to want to head to where the warmth and food are. So it's doubly gratifying when you can have a kitchen that is not only welcoming but expressive of your personality, an enjoyable and functional space in which to cook, eat, and socialise.

Making the Most of Your Space

The best kitchens feel cosy — not cramped! But what if yours is more the latter than the former? Can you do anything to fix that, short of knocking out walls?

Yes, you can. Fairly modest 'makeovers' — rearranging the position of appliances, removing a cabinet or two for extra 'head room,' or inserting a cooking or serving 'island' — can open up even a tiny kitchen and  make it seem bigger than it really is. Oftentimes, it's not how much space you have available but how you use the space that counts; minimising steps for food prep, having work spaces clear and convenient to the stove and refrigerator, and having deep enough sinks for easy cleanup don't require any more raw space…just careful planning.

Remember, too, that in a small space, every detail counts. Keep your kitchen neat, free of clutter, and sparking clean. This makes it feel open, airy, and ready for your next gourmet creation. With a little ingenuity, that minuscule space can give you some pretty 'maximum' results.
