  This format of the game always has, and continues to, personify unpredictability. Who would have thought at the halfway stage that the Mumbai Indians would go on to win the league?!   Let’s rewind a little:   At the halfway stage, with 8 matches down, they had won just three and thus had only 6 points. They had hardly any points on the...
Hi Peeps, we're back with a brand new edition of Friendly Fridays!

And Here too. Here are some perfect before-and-after juxtapose for what a Good Samaritan usually faces each time he...
ED feels this is an important message that must reach out to as many people. Participate in ED's Good Samaritan Campaign here. Every 60 minutes, 15 people die in traffic accidents in India.  According to the Law Commission of India, at least 50% of fatalities can be prevented if road accident victims receive medical attention within the critical first hour...
  The IPL recently ended and for me the high point wasn't the Mumbai Indians winning, or the post-world cup rebound or the general buzz, but it was the inclusion of women commentators! Don't get me wrong. I would be the last person to make this a big deal because it isn’t exactly a gender specific job profile. But as normal...
*BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD* George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones is one of those rarities on television that revels in keeping the motivations and ambitions of its characters a secret. It keeps its viewers on their toes, shuffling and pacing in their steps as they think over what will happen to their favorite characters. And since the show is deviating so...

365 days of being India's PM and 17 countries visited already! That's quite a world tour! Stressing on the global power of India, Modi has made all attempts for as many alliances and deals as possible.

Meet Sunil Singh Kushwaha. He collects tiffins from flats in Hauz Khas Village. Q: What tiffins? A: We make food for people living in these flats. In the evening, I home-deliver the tiffins. In the morning, I come to collect the empty boxes. Q: Is that your job? A: Yes. No. I’m actually a cook in Soni’s dhaba (eatery). I make rotis in the kitchen. He’s...
  *BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD* George R.R Martin’s Westeros is a Darwinian fantasy in its purest sense, a world where the fittest or as Cersei once famously put to the doomed patriarch of the Stark family (‘When you play the Game of Thrones, you either win or you die.’), survival is a matter of choice. More often than not, it is the...
