Watch Your Rashi (during Recession) - by B. Jane Soberwalla

Aries
Children and relatives will be more demanding today for attention from you. Try to spend more time with them over a hired movie DVD instead of malls or cinema hall.


Taurus
Good news, money pours in from recent investments. Bad news, your Piggy bank will accidentally break.


Gemini
Be cautions at the work place, you may lose out a chance to go for a foreign junket. Flatter your seniors and improve your chances for the paid trip.


Cancer
Your competitive nature will enable you to win any contest you enter. Don’t let the chance slip away from your fingers for a junket. Beware of your colleagues who flatter their seniors.

Leo
You should plan your day well in advance to reap benefits. Announce a tempting ‘contest’ for your juniors and watch them try to woo you with gifts. This may pay out for the holiday you have been secretly planning for some time now.

Virgo
Good time to take a holiday with your family. Go online today and visit your favourite holiday destinations for free, at the click of your mouse. But you must invest in a good broadband connection at home.

Libra
Difficulty with your spouse will cause some emotional stress. Stay away from using his/her credit card too often. Manage house accounts with pocket money from your parents instead.

Scorpio
Expenditure may rise due to sudden arrival of guests. To avoid, pack your bags and go camp at other relatives’ place.


Sagittarius

Harsh attitude of your colleagues might upset your day as they may show off their brand new iPhones or iMac. Practice patience and this too shall pass.


Capricorn
An evening with a close friend proves pleasurable and relaxing. You will be invited for a free drink, but linger on till dinner is served.


Aquarius
New ventures will start on a positive note. Expect some close friend to leave behind a large sum of money. Invest quickly before the lost wallet is discovered.


Pisces
Take care you can be emotionally exploited. Don’t fall for a sob story or phishing email that promises you money to be transferred online. Do not disclose your bank accounts details to anyone.

Dream Date in a Limousine or Hot Air Balloon

I like to go online often, hunting for gifting ideas. So just two days before my hubby's birthday I came upon this cool website www.excitinglives.com which has some 'never-heard-or-seen-before' gifting ideas. I recommend this website for the sheer range of gifts they have, although I am yet to place an order.

Some of the eye catching ones are:

1. Dream Date on Stretch Limousine - this caught my attention immediately as I was looking for something special to do on my husband's birthday. Unfortunately this 'gift' option is only for residents of Delhi/NCR. This costs something around Rs9500/- and I think its perfect for a memorable date. Counting my days till this service arrives in Bangalore.

2. Chocolate Spa Treat - Ah! you guessed it, its for 'WOMEN ONLY' that includes a chocolate body scrub, oil massage, and a full chocolate body wrap! Fortunately this one is in Bangalore, and costs about Rs2400/- I am enticed to try it someday.. hoping my hubby will gift this to me on my birthday!!

3. Naughty Chocolate - (Cant get enough of Chocolate) This one is perfect for a couple, who want to spice up things with a 'naughty' session involving some liquid chocolate, a red feather, and oodles of passion. This gift is meant to be used in the privacy of your bedroom and involves no professional masseur.... but just the two of you.
The gift lets you be wild with your partner with hi-quality liquid chocolate that's great for massages and body-painting. You can use it with whipped cream or fruits, is completely edible and can be easily washed off - not that you'd need to! Comes at a price of Rs1250/- and I think its worth every penny.

4. Private Air Balloon Experience - This one is for keeps, a one-hour ride in the air in a private hot air balloon. I am sure it will be a "top of the world" feeling to be with your loved one amid the clouds. This too is for residents in Delhi and comes for Rs 13,500/- :(

5. Midnight celebrations - For an affordable element of surprise, this is ideal, as you can have flowers (a dozen red roses) delivered at midnight with a personal message. ideal for those who are far away from their loved ones and want to make an impression with just Rs2150/-

6. Then you have the elite gift options like the F1 Night race in Singapore (Rs1.87 lac), Combat Flight experience that will let you fly a fighter jet in Moscow or Los Angeles (Rs1.5 lac), Zero Gravity experience similar to what astronauts feel in space and loads of other such options.

I was quite impressed by the range of the gift offerings in the website. Now I know where to look for when I want my gift to be special. I hope to try one of these options soon, provided they are within my city and my budget.

For now I am still hunting for a stretch Limousine car rental service in Bangalore, can anyone help?
