Men do have to frame excuses, mostly because the other fairer sex expects an answer and you do not have one genuine reason in the pocket.

Situations that arise are too common for most men.

1. Being late and keeping her waiting for a long time

2. Forgetting to call her.

3. Forgetting to wish her on midnight of birthday

4. Talking bad or good about her friends.

Here is a small guide to save you from possibly getting slapped, when the above situations occur.

1. This one just happens, you are late sometimes. While normal excuses like a traffic jam or “i was in an important meeting” don’t go too well. Avoid them! Something else would fit better like - “i was in a long meeting with my mom, and i was talking good about you. I guess she is convinced now that you can be a part of our family”. When the girl is late, you have no freedom to ask her why. But why?

2. Forgetting to call her. - Do not accept that you forgot. It is a bad answer, really. “I was not well and i slept off” is a good answer. You can also use this, if you understand it can sell - “i tried to reach you , but i was not able to”.

3. Forgetting her birthday is a sin. Better keep a reminder. You are in deep shit, if you forget her birthday. i do not know why, but i always remember all of her friends’ birthdays and wish them too.

4. Talking about her friends can be dangerous. You got to lie something like “i feel you are the best girl in your group” and you know what follows “the most beautiful too..”. Generally never point a girl in her friends’ list as good or bad. She might be a rival or her best pal. In case you want to compliment, you can say “She is almost as good as you”.

Little did we realize that people all over the world were indirectly contributing to the global warming , while technology was just getting better and better. Here are a few steps, which you can follow to save the planet from global warming.

3. When buying a car, buy a car that pollutes less. Insist on standards.

Windows is not a great operating system and the startup time is very poor. It is no way near a mac. But to the disgust of the windows users, here is a guide to save time on startup.

Use the hibernate option compared to the shutdown or stand by.

This does not consume power and also provides a good startup time, compared to the shutdown option.

To hibernate a system, you can use start-> shutdown ->

Press shift now to see if the first option changes to hhibernate. If you are sure that hibernate is enabled, you may try start button + u + h (u for shutdown and h for hibernate).

If hibernate is not enabled, you can enable the same in contol panel -> power options.

Being more productive at work is a important target, for people who chase success. The people who achieve this target, are the ones , who will achieve success also.

Last week, we had given out a guide on how to save more time and be more productive at office.

Here is another point in the guide, which states that “keep your computer in good health” . You do not have to waste time looking for files and folders or seeing your computer crash so often.

1. Avoid using windows. try a mac or linux. I am sure, this will save a lot of your time.
2. If the above point works, you no longer need this guide, else continue
3. Keep your desktop clean, avoid too many shortcuts. Proper branching of folders is required.
4. Keep a separate folder for set up files, you will never know, when you will need it. When ever you download or copy a set up file, put this file int his folder.
5. Use a standard anti virus program, here is a small list, pick one from this anti virus list.
6. Keep a backup network cable and a power chord in your desk.
7. Remove programs that you are not going to use that often from the startup. This besides bettering your startup time, also improves performance.
8. Use software that allows tabbing. Like firefox, CRT, and more. This will keep your programs organized.
9. Use desktop notes, and fill them up. You may like to try this program. sticky notes
10. Use shortcuts and bookmarks effectively. If you see that you are using a program almost everyday, bookmark it. Also, pile up bookmarks - like - a set of three programs, which you will use every morning. You can then say - open all in tabs. Also have a backup of your bookmarks online. try google bookmarks or delicious.

If you want to add something here, you can gladly do so. Let me know via comments.
