“I think it’s a buy one get one offer because the price tag is only on the left sandal” that’s what tickled my funny bone when I saw this meme on facebook last night and whoosh!, the latest video by AIB brings a full stop to all the “Alia Bhatt trolls”. Well yeah! Alia Bhatt has truly turned out...
  Yet again! She is behind the bars. This is the way we treat our activists. Yes, I am talking about the ‘Iron lady’ of Manipur, Irom Sharmila.

My facebook wall is flooded with posts and feeds of people getting drenched in icy cold water. Scrolling further, I see some more… and more… and omg yet some more people doing the same insane act and challenging others to do it.

“The most valuable of all capital is that invested in human beings” This was said by Alfred Marshall in 1961. At least since 1776, economics has placed a premium on education. This quote is true and is in effect. The current fixation with growth and poverty is understandable but the realization that neither of the two is possible without a...
What if I told you that in this age of highly advanced technology there lived a community who are still stuck in the 18th century? And that this community shuns all modernity and thinks that we are all destined to burn in hell? No. I thought so. Because it’s like saying, that India has now fallen under the panchayat...
THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA! India!  One incident or accident and there are hundreds of different versions people cook up and tell.

Once upon a time, in the big bad city of New York, there was a man who sat on the (iron) throne of power (game of thrones, leave me alone :P). He was feared as much as he was revered. He was corrupt, but accountable; smart and shrewd as he was sentimental. This man was Don Vito Corleone, also...
Every time Shah Rukh Khan spreads his arms on screen, Kareena Kapoor dances in an orange saree on a swing or Amitabh Bachchan delivers a dialogue in his deep baritone to a smattering applause, believe it or not, there's something to learn from all of this. We’ve all grown up on Bollywood films and love them to the core...
Delhi recently got its first internet de-addiction centre and this piece of information should be enough for us to start considering the problem of internet addiction among youngsters seriously. In today's times, the urban children live their lives infront of screens, be it television, laptop/PC or smartphone. For them, internet is a means of recreation, a means of information,...
  In the age of glitz and glamour, where the hero and heroines are lifelike versions of Ken and Barbie, where the major focus is to enter the 100 crore club,  we seem to have forgotten the simpler times when the hero would go to extreme ends to get his bride, when a flower shaking would mean a kiss, when...
By Prachi Saxena Ask an economist about the best economies of the world and the conversation can not end without the chronicle description of the U.S economy.

By Ramandeep India, our Matra bhoomi, in pictures is shown as wearing a saree and is adorned with precious metals and revered as Bharat Mata. Behind her we see the map of India. Why did we choose to have a woman ‘represent’ our country? Is it not, in a way, ironical that we treat the women of our country in...
We all experience emotionally hard times, and one of the most useful suggestions therapists have is to keep a journal, using it to write down your feelings and experiences.  But sometimes the therapy you need is an escape.  There is nothing quite like projecting yourself into characters developed in your own mind.  Getting their lives and drama out on...
If my eighteen years on this Earth have taught me anything, its that childhood is glorious. As kids we pretty much got away with anything. Broken lamp? No problem, just crank up the adorable puppy eyes and the problem virtually disappeared. Those early wonder years were those of unadulterated bliss and entertainment. So full of joy were these years that...
By Perkriti Malhotra After an exhausting day at college, catching up with school friends, wrestling my way through the metro crowd, I finally came back home.
