They are:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Work<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offices may not look promising, especially if you have crossed out all the potential singles from your list. But consider client visits, office parties, team building getaways and dinners. Even more important, think of all the pictures of you that could end up on Facebook. Maybe your colleagues are not going to be THE ONE, but don\u2019t rule out their friends and relatives just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Travel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People see you every time you travel on trains, buses, autos, cars and rickshaws. Though crowded public transportation may not be conducive to romantic feelings, there will be days when you catch an appraising look from a hot stranger. It may not lead to marriage, but it\u2019ll make your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Air Travel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the hot stewardesses and pilots are not incentive enough to look hot on flights, at least think of your seat companions. The just-rolled-out-of-bed look may be comfortable but you can do better. If your seatmate doesn\u2019t do it for you, think of all the hot young things at the airport. And even better \u2013 celebrities! Getting an autograph is much easier when you look like a star yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hospital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve no intention of being flippant about this. If you\u2019re at a hospital concerning a serious health situation, looking your best may not be on top of your list and that\u2019s fine. But we\u2019re talking about regular check-ups and other not so fun stuff that you have to do at hospitals. Look your best and score some double takes from cute doctors and nurses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gym<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I understand that you\u2019re going there because you want to look better, but that doesn\u2019t mean you need to dress up in your ratty T-shirt and scuffed shoes and black-socks-and-white-sneakers (you know who you are). Go for a black-on-black ensemble to cut out the work but look sharp all the same. Hot people are checking you out even though you may be too busy trying not to fall off your treadmill (or maybe that\u2019s just me) to notice it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Neighborhood super market<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve all done this \u2013 gone to the grocery store in our stained sweats and greasy hair only to bump into the hot guy or girl that we regularly see around. There they are, standing right next to us and reaching for the bread. This would be a great time to say hi except that we didn\u2019t bother to brush our teeth when we sauntered out of the house. Lesson learnt. Put an extra five minutes into looking spiffy and you will stand out in a crowd of sleepy, grainy-eyed neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Library or any bookstore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People who read are hot. Period. Plus you could talk about books you\u2019ve read and books you plan to read. That\u2019s like a year\u2019s worth of conversation right there. Looking good will add points in your favor while you\u2019re dazzling them with your wit and intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>In the weeks to come, I\u2019ll give you pointers on how to\u00a0look your best in everything from casuals to red carpet events. In the meantime, I want you all to start looking at the world with new eyes. It\u2019s brimming with opportunities and it takes just a little effort to engage with it. Put on your Gulabi-colored lenses; this is going to be fun!<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160318230418\/http:\/\/www.hatkeshaadi.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/singles-event-blind-tasting-and-fine-dining\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BL4tuAIZBx\">https:\/\/t.co\/BL4tuAIZBx<\/a><br \/><br \/>India\u2019s No. 1 Matrimonial Website For Mangliks<br \/>Shaadi Website For Mangliks &#8211; Nasscom listed shaadi site<br \/>1,00,000 + Prospective Brides &amp; Grooms<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mangliks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mangliks<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/mangliks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#mangliks<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/matrimonials?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#matrimonials<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/marriage?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#marriage<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/shaadi?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#shaadi<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/matrimonial?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#matrimonial<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/vivah?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#vivah<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/matrimony?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#matrimony<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/groom?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#groom<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/bride?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#bride<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sEqzmBdHKq\">pic.twitter.com\/sEqzmBdHKq<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Mangliks.com (@MangliksDotCom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MangliksDotCom\/status\/1538455115610238977?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 19, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making a first impression &#8211; Are you well-groomed?
