That 20something-fast-approaching-real-life-feeling is well and truly upon me and as I flick through Facebook photos of my velour tracksuits, scraped back hair, bad skin and teen loves gone by Im left wondering how have my relationships impacted on my future?

Ive come along way from shouting on the street corner with my boyfriend at 16, smashing my phone in frustration and anger, and crying my eyes out the next. Now I can actually communicate with words that Im pissed off and I learnt very quickly being that unhappy is not for me.

Ive come along way since I found myself in one of those two year friendships (the ones that happen at uni) because I didnt want a relationship relationship....

Though President Kibaki states that he will not endorse any individuals candidacy, he is in fact endorsing the candidacy of one ethnic group to the presidency. His endorsement of one ethnic groups candidacy is an endorsement against other ethnic groups. This is an imminent danger to national cohesion. The newspapers are debating what the Kibaki legacy will be. Some posit an infrastructure of roads, others an increased freedom in society. The facts however give the impression that the only legacy that Kibaki wants now to ensure is a succession by the same ethnic group.

Kibakis refusal to order a correction of these matters is not a sign of his lack of leadership. To the contrary, it is a sign...

Back in the 1990s, ABC ruled Friday nights with young viewers, thanks to its TGIF-branded shows like Full House, Family Matters and Step by Step. Jaleel White – who played Urkel on Family Matters – recently returned to ABC via Dancing with the Stars, and now it looks like TGIF might be making a comeback too.

As TV Guide Magazine previously speculated, insiders say ABC will announce a schedule today that will include the move of Tim Allens Last Man Standing to Fridays, paired up with the new comedy Malibu Country, starring Reba McEntire.

ABC Entertainment president Paul Lee has previously expressed an interest in getting back into the comedy game on Friday nights. But ironically,...

The Goshen City Council unanimously passed an ordinance Tuesday making it illegal for pedestrians to completely block the sidewalk. The ordinance addressed concerns from First Friday organizers who complained groups of mostly teens congregated on sidewalks and blocked pedestrian traffic and access to businesses.

I was hoping to get it passed three months ago, but I think the community conversation has been good for bringing out some ideas. I think this is one small sliver of the solution to some of the challenges that we have with First Fridays, but I think it is the thing that police and ambassadors can fall back on if we have kids or adults that dont want to behave themselves, said...

Charlize Theron is a relationship girl.

The Snow White and the Huntsman actress – who has been single since her nine-year romance with Stuart Townsend ended in 2010 – isnt currently looking for a boyfriend but admits she prefers to be with someone.

She said: Im always open to a relationship, but Im not putting those feelers out there now. Im not unhappy with it, but Im not like, Oh, this is so much better than when I was in a relationship. I am a relationship girl. Thats kind of just how Im made.

Despite her fame, Charlize – who adopted baby son Jackson in March – insists it has never been a problem in her relationships...

New Delhi : Contemporary Indian popular fiction that narrates desi cosmopolitan stories has been mirroring the changing man-woman relationship in a more open and accepting urban India, a leading literary agent says.

Even 10 years ago, romantic novels spun stories about a man and one woman, whose sacrosanct monogamous love twisted and turned its way to the altar after epic struggles. Brazen romantic love as a subject of mass fiction was considered audacious in the middle-class conservatism of the 1970s-1980s.

However, when the globalised 1990s began to creep into desi books, the floodgates of love opened to include more complex themes with...
