It may have taken Ricardo Bofill 45 years to make this old cement factory his home but every effort spent into transforming it showcases what a marvellous job he did. An architect, Bofill came across the tumbledown structure in 1973 and was immediately drawn to it. Situated on the outskirts of Barcelona, the factory was shut down during World War I due to the pollution it created. Bofill and his team bought the building and after years of working on it managed to refurbish it into a habitable abode. 

While the exteriors of the building have been secured with vegetation, the interiors scream of opulence that's minimalist and grand in equal measure. Here, take a look and prepare to get amazed.

SARAHAH

"Are you ready for honesty? Get constructive criticism from friends and colleagues, in total anonymity."

That's the promise of a new messaging service that has exploded in popularity across the Arab world.

Sarahah is named after the Arabic word for "honesty" and allows users to send and receive messages anonymously from people in their social networks.

It was created by a Saudi programmer, Zain al-Abidin Tawfiq, who says the site has garnered more than 270 million views and 20 million users in just a few weeks. Internet stats firm Alexa says the site is already one of the most popular in Egypt. It has nearly 2.5 million Egyptian users, according to Al Jazeera, along with 1.7 million in Tunisia, 1.2 million in Saudi Arabia, and sizeable followings in Syria and Kuwait.

The popularity of the site, which launched in early February, has spilled over to less anonymous social networks, where users shared screenshots from the messages they received on Sarahah. The messages include confessions of romantic attraction, scathing remarks on people's personalities, and declarations of homosexuality.

There has also been an active online debate about the site.

One Twitter user, Omar Ashraf, put the appeal of Sarahah down to hypocrisy: "We have to hide behind anonymity to be honest with each other," he tweeted.

But another tweeter, Joseph Alfred, was touched by the notes being swapped: "I wish people who have sent sincere messages could make themselves known, so we could recognise their value in our lives."

Tawfiq, the developer, said that he had the business market in mind when he first created the website. He noticed that company employees had difficulty giving their bosses feedback.

"There are several obstacles [to open discussion] such as differences in age or rank, so in some cases anonymity makes presenting criticism more comfortable," he told Al Jazeera.

Tawfiq said that though he "did not at all" expect the website to become so popular so quickly, he was happy with how things have turned out so far.

Have you ever taken a moment to think what dating must be like for… men? Many women believe, when it comes to dating, men hold all the cards. This could be because they’ve been rejected by men in the past, been played or cheated on by men, or simply brought up to believe that’s just the way it is. Whether or not you think men have the power overall, I write today to increase your awareness of some ways in which men definitely do not have the power. Many of these may never have even occurred to you. The more you can understand men and where they are coming from, the more success you’ll have in dating and forming relationships with them. So, here’s 7 disadvantages men have in dating you might never have previously considered.

1. Men have to risk rejection a lot more than women

If there’s a standout advantage women have, this has to be it.

The fact is, women must deal with a lot less rejection in dating than men. If a woman is unwilling to make a move on a man, she can sub communicate to him she wants him to make one, without risking a real rejection. If that doesn’t work, a different man will try his luck. She can meet and get chatting to a lot of men, without having to risk a direct rejection. While women are just as vulnerable to rejection, once in a relationship, a woman can have a successful dating life, without ever being rejected. She may not have quite as many options, but she’ll still have options, especially if she knows how to give men proper green lights.

If a man doesn’t – at some point – ‘man’ up and make a move, then generally he’s going home alone. No matter how much he gives a woman eye contact, it will usually be him who has to walk over, him who has to kiss her, and him who has to ask her out to lunch.

Even if he’s not approaching you in a bar, wherever he meets you, he still must take the risk in asking you out. For many men, confidence does not come naturally. Unfortunately, in dating, where men must risk rejection regularly to have success, confidence is required. This can be a huge, sometimes insurmountable, obstacle for some men to overcome.
No matter how you cut it, for men to get results in dating, they have to risk rejection much more than women. Remember this next time you’re getting frustrated with a guy’s hesitancy to make a move on you and help him out by making sure you make your signals to him clear.

2. Men cannot get a date or romantic attention easily

If a woman wants a date, sex, or even just a little ego kick, it’s not exactly scarce. It could be as simple as jumping on Tinder or getting dressed up to go out for the night. A woman has the security of knowing romantic attention – at least in some form – is always available, should she want it. Each time a man has to move the relationship forward, there is a chance of you rejecting him.

Spare a thought for men, who, even if they jump online or go out, are not guaranteed any of the above. A man always has to risk rejection to earn a date or more from a woman. Many men, especially those who are good guys but aren’t necessarily confident or good looking, never know where their next hit of romantic attention might come from.

3. Society puts enormous pressure on men to be good with women

Like it or not, more pressure is on men to have skills with women than the other way around. Growing up, boys who can flirt and interact with the girls are heroes by their friends, whereas girls who show extraordinary socials skills with men are often shamed by their jealous peers. The underlying message given to men is that they are not a true man and should be ashamed if they cannot attract a woman.

Take a moment to think about the gravity of pressure this message puts on men.

If a guy is around his mates at a bar, how does this pressure effect the chances of him approaching you?

He’s likely to shy away, not wanting to risk failure at something so ‘important’ in front of his friends.

If he’s sober, and you reject him harshly when he asks you out respectfully, how is he going to feel?

Probably, like never approaching another woman again and taking his feelings of rejection out on women in the future.

And, if a guy isn’t good with women, what is he likely to believe about himself?

“I’m not much of a man; I’m pathetic.”

The underlying message given to men is that they are not a true man and should be ashamed if they cannot attract a woman.

So, before you go saying things like, “Well, I wouldn’t date any guy who doesn’t have the confidence to approach me,” take the time to understand where he is coming from and how much pressure society puts on him to be good with women. If you’re giving resting bitch face or turning your back, he might be the perfect guy for you and a great person, but he’s never going to approach you.

4. Men are encouraged to be independent and not ask for help

When a woman asks for help with something, she generally has no fear of being judged for doing so. However, many men, raised with the belief that a man should be independent and strong, shy away from the possibility of admitting they may not have all the answers. In dating, this is especially problematic. Men are told it’s shameful and disrespectful to seek help to improve their dating skills. So much so, we’ve cancelled the Visas of men, who’ve tried to come to Australia and teach it! While some of these men may be coaching derogatory tactics, those who are genuinely trying to help men improve their dating lives and meet women, sadly, get tainted with the same brush.

This ties men’s hands when it comes to improving the parts of themselves that would make them more attractive dates, lovers, and partners. In my own life, admitting I was terrible with women and asking for help (then being looked down upon for trying to find it) was one of the most bitter pills I ever had to swallow, proving extremely bruising to my ego . It was worth it in the end, but such an experience highlights that men, both as children and adults, are actively encouraged against seeking help, especially in this area. So, spare a thought for the hopelessness a man, who isn’t good with women, must feel when he sees other men walk around with natural charm.

5. Men aren’t good ‘people readers’

Men are less intuitive and socially adept than women, which works in women’s favor on the dating playing field. If the task was to carry heavy boxes upstairs, this would give men an advantage, but in the social world of dating, the shoe is on the other foot. This stems from an evolutionary background, where women relied on social skills, rather than brute strength to survive.

Your average woman can read people better, make better conversations, and be more dynamic in her ability to read people than your average male. So, if you’ve ever met a guy, who hasn’t been able to keep up with the social pace or missed a couple of cues from the group, try to have empathy. Men aren’t born to talk and read situations the way you were.

6. From a man’s point of view, all a woman needs to pick up is… looks

And well… they’re right. Sort of. A woman can pretty herself and pick up every night of the week – if she wants to.

Of course, we both know if you were to actually do that you would rarely pickup the guy you actually wanted. Still, the point is that no matter where you are in life, if you get dressed up and go out, you could get something.

Look at this from a guy’s point of view. He doesn’t see the reality – you struggling to get the attention of the guy you want and getting hit on by creepers all night. He just sees a pretty girl with half the bar looking at her and trying to talk to her. What is that going to register in his mind? “Jees, women have it easy.”

Perception is reality. If he sees this (and believes it), then that is enough to make it real that you (and women like you) have the advantage.

7. Men are given mixed signals from a young age about what women want

“Be a gentleman.” “Treat a woman with upmost respect.” “Always put her before yourself.” Men are hammered with this advice growing up. Then, what happens to a guy who always follows this advice? He ends up in the damn friend zone!

It’s no wonder guys get confused about what women want. There are mixed messages coming from the media, their parents, and even other women (who in their eyes ask for one type of guy then date another) about what exactly women want. There aren’t too many young boy’s mothers who give the advice, “Son, open the door for her in the car and pull out her chair for her, then smack her ass hard while she moans in the bedroom.” And if someone tried to teach this en masse, someone else would take it out of context!

Young men are forced to figure it out for themselves and often get it wrong. So remember, sometimes, it’s not a guy fault if he doesn’t know what to do. It’s because everyone has been telling him different things his whole life.

Whether or not you believe men have the advantage in dating – at least, in these 7 areas, there’s no question –  women have the advantage. So, next time you get frustrated with a man, because he won’t make a move, doesn’t seem to ‘get’ you, or seems insecure about his abilities with women, remember, men have pressures on them you haven’t been brought up to identify with. Understanding such pressures and, perhaps, having a little more forgiveness and empathy for a man’s, sometimes  inexplicable, behaviors will see you approaching dating with more patience and acceptance, leading to more fulfilling experiences and relationships with men. 

Anticipation will sometimes set you up for horrible disappointment, but you'd hope that isn't the case for the third Bad Boys film.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are finally regrouping to complete the trilogy, but it might be a while before we're actually graced with the film. That probably won't matter, as we've already done 13 years of waiting; we can wait a little longer.

Director Joe Carnahan has calmed our worries that the third film could be too good to be true, by saying it'll definitely be worth the wait.

"It wasn't challenging [coming up with the antagonist]," Joe told Collider. "It should've been. You've got all these years in the game, and you've made all these enemies, you've accumulated all this, so in that respect, it would be easy.

"But I don't wanna say anything else because I don't wanna ruin the delicacy of who our antagonist is, because I think it's very cool.

"It's not one person. It's a multi-headed hydra, I'll say that. It works beautifully."

The amount of time that has passed since the first sequel will also be taken into account, which will help to make it funnier as both Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowery will presumably play on their age.

Joe also said that Bad Boys III will be R-rated, much to the delight of expletive enthusiasts, claiming there's no need to go PG-13 due to the success Deadpool had with an R-rating.

Unfortunately the script is not quite ready, with time being needed to polish things up and sand around the rough edges. We'd all rather wait for a perfected script, rather than have a rushed one right now, so take as much time as you need, lads.

Vacation is the most important thing that a person needs after a tiresome month, sem, or an year or in my case 3 years. After so much of Hardwork, that your parents hardly acknowledged, and after so much of sacrificing the most important things in your life, in my case football and video games, you need a proper vacation.

But Vacations are still tiring. They tend to entertain but still deprive you of those things that you have been sacrificing. You'll have fun but will feel deprived, because in the end you are same guy, little happy with maybe great travel experience but still feeling dejected.

What a person needs a Proper Getaway. A proper Getaway is a period  where you leave your social or unsocial world behind for a while and go to such place where all you do is sleep, eat and do what you want to do.
My proper Getaways look like me sleeping late still rising early, writing my blog, eating and playing endless games and calling friends and having a great chat which I've missed the most.

The best places for a get-away are your nana house. With condition your cousins don't have their holidays too. You'll say it's boring but in the end it's all about you. Getaways don't last more than 3-4 days though. Cause that's insane.

I'm climbing up cause we don't have keys of roof.

I wrote this while sitting on top of my nans old heritage-esaue mini fort home, at Rajasthan, 6:30 am in May end. Could've write more about it but the temp has went like 10° up in an hour so I need to find a way down from this no support roof top, cause the way I got up is not a way to get down anymore.

I think Assassin's creed will finally pay off. Or I'll break a leg.

And I've got to find a way down.

After 20 minutes: OK its hot here, and I've got to get down, none has woken up till now and won't hear even of I shout. Can't call an ambulance cause I think they can't even enter these narrow streets. I think I'll gamble a jump.

Trolling Indian PS :)

Imagine being rich? Like, so rich that you literally don't have worry about money. It'd be fucking great.

Amancio Ortega doesn't have to imagine this, as he has now officially overtaken Bill Gates as the richest man in the world.

The Spaniard is the founder of Inditex group, the parent company of Zara and Pull&Bear, and to be honest, I'm not surprised he's the richest man alive. My girlfriend said she wanted a birthday present from Zara and I came out of the shop with my wallet empty, feeling violated.

The Daily Mail has reported that Ortega is worth $79.5billion, after his personal fortune allegedly increased by $1.7billion this week.

Bill Gates' estimated fortune is currently $78.5billion, thanks to his Microsoft empire, but he will be forced to sit in second spot when it comes to the most money on the planet. What a shame, he'll have to wipe away his tears with a tenner.

Ortega, who is now 80-year-old, is allegedly ready to hand over the control of the fashion company to his 31-year-old daughter Marta.

The rumours regarding his daughter have spread quite a bit, and if they're to be believed, she's going to be fucking rich. Filthy fucking rich.
