The lighter side of #Life

Our lives have expanded beyond mainstream media. Many of us live online for a large part of the day. We post our thoughts on Facebook, comment on friends' posts and indulge in banter on everything from football to daily goings-on. On Twitter and Instagram we follow celebrities and our favourite people, we share blogs and interesting articles, and get to know what happens often even before mainstream media does.

And Goa, with its social media friendly people and outward looking attitude, is a mover and shaker in this sphere. Of course Goans are interested in what happens in their own villages and towns, but they are equally interested in who is saying what to whom where and when... in their neighbourhood and across the globe! This is the power of social media, where one funny original comment can get you noticed and where you can see what the world is seeing.

Enter, #TGLife. We browse through the vast online world and curate interesting pieces for a Goan audience. We follow celebrities and superstars from all spheres on Instagram, aiming to pull out a choice pic or two for you to see. We’ll tell you what your favourite musician is doing and maybe even what that hot actor did last night. We’ll also pick out issues, games, books, songs, and anything else that we feel you need to experience. And yes, politics too, provided it is to do with policies that impact our lives and is not just a bunch of oldies talking to - and at - each other.

#TGLife is now your window to the online world, for Goa and beyond. This four-page, all-colour supplement will be in your hands six days a week - Monday to Saturday - free with The Goan Everyday. To be a part of the #TGLife journey, mail us at [email protected] and follow us on our social media accounts:

Lessons in love: A Chinese university teaches seduction!

Chinese university tutor Xie Shu's core subject is Communist ideology, but he has diversified from the dry annals of political doctrine for a more hands-on subject: seduction. His "Theory and Practice of Romantic Relations" course at Tianjin University includes lectures on pick-up techniques, self-presentation and how to entice the opposite sex. "How should you react when you’ve been rejected?" Xie asked his young charges at one lecture, in a cafe on the campus in the…
