Personality Tests. Who doesn’t love taking them?

Real life Conversations vs Virtual Conversation. Which one is more important?
They both are and here's why..

Goodbyes. The most dreaded yet inevitable part of life. Something which makes us look back and recount 1000 memories but also gives us a glimmer of hope for the future. It’s really tough to write about a feeling which has neither a beginning nor an end. It just strikes you, hits you like a cannonball, makes you think about...

Once you reach at some height, the echo from another peak of ‘catch me if you can’ would start floating. It is good and necessary for every country for its obvious advantages. Amartya Sen rightly says (in the context of india) that average incomes...
Sam Miller is the author of Delhi: Adventures in a Megacity, where he regaled readers with tales of his adventures as he walked in massive concentric circles around Delhi, meeting boot-blacks, nauseatingly lurching revolving restaurants, and other characters essential to the quintessential Delhi experience. Always aware of his status as a white, Hindi-speaking oddity, Miller’s very British humour is...

Yet sometimes we see weird things happening in the stock market, economic bubbles being the biggest example.

The Aero-X hoverbike from Aerofex is slated for a commercial release in 2017 for just $85,000. Chump change, right?
Aerofex's hoverbike made a pretty big splash when the Californian company showed off its working prototype all the way back in 2012, but then it went eerily silent. Now, Aerofex has finally revealed a launch date and price: it'll cost...

Well...

Most people face a dilemma while deciding which type of guitar to buy as their first ones. I wasn't one of them. I only knew there was an acoustic one and an electric one.
