Tip to get that first job faster? Try and bid at a lower rate than the competition. It may be worth a lot more money, but if you invest in it as a build up for your portfolio it will help.

Method Two - Set Up A Blog

There are so many blogs online today that it will be easy to find a niche for yourself. True there is great competition, but if you are providing quality content, you will have yourself a good fan following soon enough. Then the monetisation will help you make money from the traffic that hits your blog.

What you need to do is register a domain name and get web hosting services in place. Then set about populating your blog with blog posts. Make sure you choose a niche that you know well. It can be very difficult blogging regularly about a topic you are not conversant with.

Tip to make blogging easier? Try and write as many posts as you can and then schedule them to be published one a day on the blog. That way you get free time to do other stuff and the blog still gets updated.

Method Three - Sell On Ebay

From a used pencil to any hand made craft you can sell just about anything online these days. There are many sites that allow you to open up a virtual store and make money online selling your products. However since Ebay is an established brand, it is easier to sell stuff when you are associated with them as plenty of traffic exists on the site.

What you need to do is register an account with them and post product details and photos online. You will need to set up a payment method by aligning paypal with your bank account and you may need to use your credit card to be verified. All this does not take any money from you. You will only pay Ebay when you make sales.

Tip to sell more things? Try and stick to a single category of products. For instance if you are good at procuring gadgets sell all kinds of interesting gadgets. Or if you are able to produce hand made cards stick to those. It will give you a better presence in the niche and people will be more likely to buy from you.

Erotic Sculptures in Khajarao

Are the erotic sculptures in Khajarao temples inspired by the Kama Sutra. Or is it some other purpose that they serve?

 

From the land of the Kama Sutra it is expected to find ancient erotic sculptures. The eroticism in ancient Indian sculptures is legendary. The sculptures on the walls of the temples at Khajarao are just such an example. This set of about twenty temples is said to have been built during the reign of the kings of the Chandela dynasty during the 9^th and 10^th centuries AD. The UNESCO has declared these temples a world heritage site.

The artists have used the “Mithunas” or couples to depict all forms of colorful sexual imagery. That is not to say that only sculptures of couples adorn these temples. There are also groups involved in the art of making love. The sculptures show many positions which can be used by lovers. Some have been admired and others have been criticized, but everyone has had something to say about the statues. It is like visiting a visual guide of the Kama Sutra.

You may ask why a temple, a place of worshiping the lord is adorned with these graphic sexual images. There are many schools of thought here. For one set the answer lies in the fact that a person was supposed to overcome all desires in order to be near the lord and gain salvation. Of all the desires, it is the sexual ones that are the most basic and instinctive. So the sculptures were set as a test of self control. If the devotee could keep his mind on his prayers despite being surrounded by these erotic art forms he was indeed in control of his emotions.

For the second set there was a spiritual meaning behind every erotic sculpture. If a man and woman were in sexual embrace, it also signified the meeting of their souls as one in the eyes of the lord. So each sculpture can be interpreted in a deeply spiritual manner as well as in an erotic manner. It was also believed that man and woman could increase the fertility by visiting these temples.

For yet another school of thought more in touch with the Indus Valley civilization, the erotic sculptures exemplified one of the four stages in man’s life. When a man was in the householder stage the desire for “Kama” was natural and part of living. This is reflected in the erotic statues of Khajarao.

No matter why these sculptures were commissioned by the Chandela kings, the fact remains that they are in existence today. A very interesting take on ancient porn set in stone for immortality. These sculptures can provide insights into the ancient love making techniques that were prevalent in India long ago. These erotic statues are worth visiting if you can. So when you plan your trip to India, put Khajarao on the itinerary.

Romance on a Budget : Celebrate Valentine's Day

 With Valentine's Day almost looming large and the economic crisis refusing to go away, how do you romance a loved one on a budget?

Most Valentines seem to think of expensive jewellry, flowers and chocolates as the most appropriate gifts. However, what really counts is the feeling of being shown that you are cared for. Yes if the person you are showering gifts on can be made to feel loved without all the money being spent, it would serve you very well.

Start with collecting some memorable love quotes. You can get these from the internet if you are not too keen on writing your own. Now put seven of these onto small notes and post its. Make sure that you leave them in places where the love of your life will find them.

One note a day is good enough. Then another way to show you care is to take on some of their chores. If you can get the grocceries or put out the garbage do it. It will reduce their work load and make them feel more loving towards you. I promise it works.

Save the best for the D day. You don't need to take them out to a restaurant for a really great time. Pack a picnic basket and head out to the nearest lawn or park that you like going to. Make sure that you have enough food that they might like. Plus add a little romantic surprise such as a single flower.

It will not cost too much, but it will be worth the smile that you get. Now give your personal gift. Again it may not be an expensive thing. You can make a handmade pendant or a charm bracelet and it will work just fine. Remember the object of the whole thing is to make your love feel cared for.
