PRECAUTIONS WHEN DATING A CO-WORKER

DATING A CO-WORKER

 

·         In our professional lives, we spend many hours in the workplace.

·         Thus, it is natural to get attracted to somebody at work.

·         However, you need to be a bit smart when dating in the office.

 

1. Don’t fiddle with company policy

·         While some companies, like BPOs, may overlook dating on the premises as long as the employees don’t get too comfortable, others approach this issue with a lot of circumspection.

·         If you are not working in a couple-friendly office, don’t indulge in something that can be considered as couple-centric activities related to the physical chemistry between both of you.

·         You can flirt, smile and crack jokes, but nothing that suggests intimacy or romance.

2. Don’t date within your working circle

·         Avoid dating someone within your intrinsic circle at the office.

·         The physical proximity will distract you and will make it harder to conceal your dating footprints.

·         Try to date a co-worker from another department, another floor, or at least, someone who is seated far away from you.

·         Dating somebody seated within a kissing distance from you might be looked upon with contempt by your seniors, and can also lead to accusations of siding with a colleague.

3. Always play it safe

·         Irrespective of your supportive colleagues and bosses, ensure that you keep it discrete.

·         Otherwise, you should be in a position to announce it with an engagement or marriage plan.

·         If not, ensure that your office romance isn't a topic of discussion during the office breaks.

·         Understand that an office romance can be worked against your work or professional integrity.

·         Disclosing your office romance is equal to providing a character assassination tool to your workplace enemies for their use.

4. Keep it decent

·         Never be too expressive about your feelings for a co-worker anywhere within or near the office.

·         Any public display of affection (PDA) is treated as distasteful and can compromise your reputation, and even raise questions about your morality.

·         While you may message and email, but holding hands, being seated conspicuously close or hugging each other and giving her a congratulatory kiss, are not recommended.

5. Don’t start an affair just after ending one

·         Women form quick opinions about men who have been dumped or those who have had relationships with their friends and colleagues.

·         If you have recently dated and broken it off with somebody in a department or the other office floor, try to give it some cooling time before you start to explore in the same region.

·         This can save you the humiliation of being turned down or finding a date that has many preconceived wrong notions about you.

6. Office romances beg honesty

·         You shouldn’t try cross-dating or multi-dating in the office.

·         Before you start dating a co-worker, come clean about whom you had dated before, and what is your current status with her.

7. Have an understanding with her

·         Make it clear that, in awkward situations, you would distance yourself from her within the office.

·         Make her understand that this precaution will ensure that your career doesn’t get jeopardized.

HAIR DISORDERS (PART 2 OF 2)

HAIR DISORDERS (PART 2 OF 2)

3. DRY AND DAMAGED HAIR

Cause:

·         Keratin, a group of proteins, is known to form the primary component of hair fibre.

·         Certain bonds within the keratin molecules that are difficult to break, are a key factor behind the durability and resistance of hair fibre.

·         As we expose hair to constant chemical abuse (colouring and straightening), these bonds are constantly challenged, causing greater hair damage.

·         Frizzy hair can be a hereditary condition for some, and seasonal for others during the summer and monsoon months.

Cure:

·         Avoid over-exposure of hair to chemical products for styling your hair.

·         Avoid using a blow dryer every day, and also straightening, perming and colouring treatments.

·         You should oil your hair regularly with coconut or olive oil, use a mild shampoo with ammonium laureth sulphate, and include high-protein foods like eggs, sprouts and soya in your diet.

·         Use a soft and smoothing conditioner on a regular basis for the hair to absorb natural oils.

·         Using a repair serum after a shampoo and conditioning also aids in nourishing dry hair.

·         You can also opt for salon treatments like a deep conditioning treatment with an aloe vera mask.

·         You can go in for a hot oil therapy that helps to nourish dry follicles and stimulate production of sebum on the scalp.

·         Use a rich conditioning cream rinse to finish off.

·         Use this treatment once a fortnight.

4. HAIR FALL

Cause:

·         There is no one cause for a receding hairline.

·         It is normal to lose up to 75 to 100 hair strands on a daily basis as part of the hair growth cycle.

·         If losing more, it could be due to genetics, dandruff, seasonal change, overuse of styling products, nutritional deficiency, hormonal imbalance, iron deficiency and even prescribed medication in certain cases.

Cure:

·         If hair loss is not excessive, follow a shampoo and conditioning ritual, and watch what you eat.

·         Eat plenty of leafy greens, beans, tofu and lean meats, which are all great sources of iron, biotin and zinc, for hair growth.

·         Keep your hair guarded from the harsh rays of the sun by covering your head with a scarf.

·         Carry an umbrella in the monsoons to keep rain water off, as it damages hair strands.

·         For heavy hair loss, take an oral Vitamin B7 or Biotin (10 mg) daily for three months.

·         Opt for hair spas and hot oil massages once a month.

·         For thinning hair, massage the scalp to increase temporary circulation, which may pump hair follicles with nutrients needed for hair growth.
