If you ever feel frustrated with your life, then simply travel to Egypt with your family and kids. The country is so majestic, mesmerizing and magnificent that it will help you get over all the sorrows and tensions of your hectic life and give a new meaning to your existence. While touring the various cities of Egypt, it is best to get yourself a seat on a luxurious Dahabiya. The fabled ship can help you chalk out a smooth, hassle-free and luxurious voyage. Nile has always lured travelers, writers and historians. It is the lifeblood of the country and you cannot really afford to return back to your homeland without having enjoyed a cruise ride on it.

Nile cruise small boats can now also be hired at very cheap rates. Most tour operators will see to it that all your requirements are met. Some good ones also lend you the opportunity to ask for custom needs. While touring Egypt, you will come across Cairo. While Cairo is an important commercial & trading center, it is also one of the most attractive cities on the country’s map.

Cairo is pretty much like the city you have read about in the tales of Arabian Nights. It is dusty, crowded, bustling and very cosmopolitan. People from all over the world can be seen here including many from other Asian countries. Cairo is like a magic box which keeps flinging surprises at you. It has some breathtakingly beautiful monuments. Its mosques will evoke awe for their sheer size and piousness. Its local bazaars are interesting to explore and help you do some local shopping. Its pyramids certainly count amongst its top historical jewels and its museums are not just informative but a revelation.

When you travel to Egypt, you can see the real face of Cairo with your own eyes. It is virtually impossible to depict its exuberant personality through pieces of words. Its chief attractions apart from the pyramids are Historic Cairo and Memphis & its Necropolis. Apart from Cairo, Egypt presents to you other equally delightful towns like Aswan, Luxor and Giza. They are paradise in terms of their collective historic worth. Giza is the must-visit site if you want to face the Sphinx while Luxor’s old monuments and dilapidated temples will give your holiday a satisfying end. Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada are also popular destinations and are primarily noted for the beaches and water sports.

The best way to enjoy all the cities and to witness all the monuments is through a cruise ride on a private Dahabiya. These vessels take you up and down the river starting the voyage from a pre-defined destination and ending it on a pre-decided city. The cruise can be enjoyed for 2 days or even 4-5 days. Depending on your requirement, you can book one accordingly. In between these days, you will certainly have the best time of your life. Another cheaper option is to book Nile cruise small boats. These small boats are more suited for smaller trips and for smaller groups.

Football players are known for their commendable stamina and skills. They are a level above the common folk male species owing to their sheer brawn. Granted, they are not exactly Nobel Prize winners or regular academic winners per se (though there are a few exception who have been known to break the stereotype of muscular jocks), but then again no one expects them to be more than a goal scoring machine. If we liken our world to an animal kingdom, the football stars would most probably be the alpha males that lead their packs, or the wolves perhaps (because of the aggressive group clique mentality).

Now while most football players might be just charismatic in appearance others can put the fear of God in you. Branislav Ivanovic is one such personality. Bloody noses and broken bones are an everyday thing in football. So much so that, it has become a trademark sign of a football player. Every great footballer must have had at least one monumental injury in his whole life. The same goes for Liverpool’s own winger- Raheem Sterling. The chap has faced a number of bone crushing encounters in his life, but he swears that no one has been more foreboding than Chelsea defender, Ivanovic.

His steely exterior is only surpassed by his ice cold temperament. It is not much of a surprise, given his Serbian back story. His massive physique doesn’t help the cause much either. He is often described as a huge tank of a human being who can intimidate an opponent by just bearing down on him. The guy is honorable, I give you that. He does not resort to menial techniques but a man of his stature, does not need much to stop a man on his tracks.

Branislav Ivanovic profile is not just that of a defender, but is also that of a captain of the Serbian National football team. He started of his professional football career at his native place, playing for a number of Serbian clubs before moving to Russia and joining the Lokomotiv Moscow. During his time with the club, he was instrumental in winning the Russian Cup in the year of 2007. The following year saw the biggest move in his career when he joined Premier League club Chelsea for Euro 13 million. Since then he has been loyal to the club playing along with the team for many seasons.

Last night I watched a TV Documentary about teenagers who had booked their summer holidays on a Greek Island. It was the usual story of sun, sea, sand, sex and the obligatory sojourn to the STI clinic. However, amongst all the booze cruises, vomiting and horrific initiation games came an almost hidden strand of thought that I found particularly interesting.

Physical Ideal verses eat a Meal

For many years now there has been an observation that the media portrays an idealised image for women to aspire to. From Heroine Chic to the bootylicious curves of Beyoncé, there are definite ideals of attractiveness. We absorb these subconsciously and, rightly or wrongly, aspire to achieve for ourselves. Magazines scream out at you from newsagent’s stands telling you about the latest look that you can achieve. When you then read the article inside the magazine and realise all the maintenance that the look involves, you know that you will probably end up spending a lot of money and a lot of time shaving, plucking, dying, sticking and styling to look the way that you want. I would often think (slightly enviously), as I glued in hair extensions, painted my nails and applied fake tan, that if I was a man then I wouldn’t have to worry about this kind of thing. However, from what I’m starting to observe, this is no longer the case.

Grecian Gods

One perfectly coiffed young man appearing in the documentary declared that he waxed every part of his body excluding his legs because and I quote, “The ladies like it don’t they?” It seems that gone are the days where men wouldn’t be seen dead visiting a beauty salon. The modern man plucks his eyebrows, straightens his hair and books in for a manicure and spray tan. The cover images of Men’s Health Magazine show hairless, tanned creatures with enormous biceps and washboard stomachs. It seems that aspirational aesthetics is no longer simply a feminist issue.

“I’ll have a Pint of Your Best Whey Protein My Good Fellow!”

Feeling under pressure to have the kind of body that other men envy and women salivate over, male gym memberships are currently rocketing in number and the sales of whey protein shakes are noticeably increased. Health and fitness suddenly isn’t enough, muscle bulk and low body fat is now the craved-for ideal. The positive offset of this wanted aesthetic is that young people are seriously thinking about their health and fitness. In a society that on the other hand is suffering from a huge obesity epidemic, this can only be a good thing.

The key is to be sensible about what you want to achieve and how you plan to go about it. When joining a gym, always book at least an initial consultation with a personal trainer so that they can advise you on the safest way to achieve your ideal physique. Also, never skip your equipment induction; it is required for a reason. It may seem like a cheap option to research on the internet and lift home weights, however, learning to lift weights correctly and the best protein powders and health supplements to use is extremely important to avoid accidents and injury.
