Shah Rukh Khan as its brand ambassador, South Korean Car giant Hyundai Santro has been its
bread & butter model for a long period of time giving strong competition to the likes of WagonR & the

What is it with humans and discrimination? It has become an innate need for humans to segregate themselves from others on the basis of religion, caste, colour, gender or sexuality. I am going to talk about the bifurcation between religions in our so called “secular” country. The gruesome truth about discrimination in religion is that it can become...
By Nikita Madan Have you ever met a person who doesn't own any clothing item in black? Yes neither have I. Black originally is the color associated with mourning and gloom and has evolved as the most versatile and flexible color in fashion, as well as standing the test of time.

In my opinion, it is nothing more than a mental blockage that is stopping this much needed act of legalizing prostitution. The most common argument I hear is, “It is...

The concept is not new. It is something which has...
You know that time when you become immensely successful and then you look back to see how much things have changes but you still feel somewhere you are the same person you were. Now that’s the irony you need to feel to satisfy being a good leader.

The recent demise of Suchitra Sen, a great actress, left the people overwhelmed. This Indian actress, who acted majorly in Bengali films, was revered by all. She started her career in films with ‘Shesh Kothaay’ which was never released. She starred opposite Uttam Kumar in ‘Sharey Chuattor’ in 1953. Both the film and their ‘jodi’ became successful...

Months of rigorous training, weeks of grueling drills and minutes of utter immobility is surprisingly a routine for not a soldier but a young fifteen-year-old ball boy/girl. The unsung heroes of a successful tournament, these Ball Boys & Girls (BBGs) play an important but invisible role.
Like little bundles of energy, speeding from one end to another, these...
Don’t get me wrong. I love travelling, at least most of the times, when it doesn’t involve forced family reunions or funerals. All the vacations that I have taken, I have thoroughly relished and experienced different cultures. Bagels in New York and Vada Pav in Mumbai, I’ve loved it all. And someday, I hope to visit New Zealand so...

Beliebers, those who believe?
Directioners, those who have a direction in life?
And smilers, those who smile all the time?
Oh, I wish.However, for those unmindful of the 21st century fangirl cult (fan boy as well for that matter), Beliebers are fans of the baby-baby-baby-ooh-like-baby-baby-baby-noo, Justin Beiber. And Directioners are fans of the baby-you-light-up-my-world-like-nobody-else, One Direction. And Smilers are fans...
