You can find her outside D-Block, Connaught Place. She is there at 10 am and stays as long as she can. She is 65 years old and has been setting up this roadside stall for 30 years now.
Like several other passer-bys who tour CP daily, I walked past her with my camera hung around my neck. I stopped...
Well, before beginning this article I would like all of you to shut your eyes and remember the great stock saying of Mr. Bunty (remember Bunty and Babli, folks?) - “Yeh world hai na world issmein do tarah ke log hote hai..”. Evidently as a child I was immensely inspired by him and so I take the liberty to...
As US announced that a woman would soon grace the $ 10 note, inspiration hit us, so we hit the streets, wondering who our youth considers capable of being on the Rs 100 note, should the Indian Govt decide to follow suit. Here are the thought provoking responses we got:

Chottu spends his summer with his relatives who are florists in Delhi. He eagerly awaits the arrival of summer and is excited to board a train when school is off. He says, “Summers means two months of being...
While 23rd June may not ring a bell with most people, it does happen to be an eventful day. It was on this day that the British genius Alan Turing was born. Some of you who have seen Benedict Cumberbatch’s recent critically acclaimed movie “The Imitation Game” might be familiar with his work. One of the most pioneering computer...
Nowadays, it seems like sports rule the land. Almost everyone can be considered to be a fan of at least one sport or the other. Some people follow sports like a religion. With such an increased focus on sports, the athlete’s performance is put under microscope. This puts more pressure on athletes to give a winning performance. No longer...
Many have been wondering if the FDA headquarters have an office canteen or not, what with the rate at which they have been asking for sample of food left and right, only to ban them in due course. Some are mildly interested as to how it all pans out. Most just want to have some goddamn Maggi.
As for me,...
Two powerhouses of India’s cement story. Two big borrowers of money. One Undisputed Champ.
Yes, this one is about debt as well! If you have been through this writer’s last few posts, you might have already come to the conclusion that “a debt gone wrong” can wreak havoc, not just over the repayment capacity of the individual but the hard...
With the release date of Windows 10 just more than a month away i.e. 29th July, the buzz surrounding this new operating system offering from Microsoft is just catching up!
With a lot of conjecture around the fact that Windows 10 might just be the last version of Windows and that Microsoft has gone all out in making it the...

My dad and I aren't what you call verbose with each other. Zyada baat nahi hoti. Especially the senti talks. Yet, I am his spitting image. Physically and on the inside.
In our house, he wears the pants. As a kid, I was as terrified of him. But over the years, and with me moving out, some things changed...
Eventually, I...
Have you ever wondered why the constipated people are so rude? Let me help you, I guess because they do not give a crap? Or hey, have you heard about the new movie in the theatres called ‘The Constipation’? I am sure you have not, because the movie has not come out yet! Okay-okay, promise, the last one. An...
Steven Spielberg’s Jaws turns 40 on the 20th of June this year. 40. Forty years old. To put it into perspective, that is almost double the period since Delhi became a National Capital Territory and it is four times the mental age of most of Adam Sandler’s films. And yet, if we go by the scales of modern-day geriatrics,...

On Thursday morning the first match of the 3 game ODI series between India and Bangladesh in Bangladesh was to be played.
All the headlines read: “Bangladesh Looking for Revenge”. Each of these headlines was accompanied with the same statistics, odds, head-to-heads and the general humdrum of pre-game analyses.
The headline made me exclaim that the media sensationalises everything because according to...

Anyone who is a regular or an occasional user of the Delhi Metro will testify to the persisting space issues, or rather the lack of it on the train. More often than not, passengers like us must dodge and transverse a multitude of fellow Delhiites to even get some leg space on the Metro. In fact, the situation especially...
We don't appreciate chick flicks and sloppy romances only because they make us laugh on their silliness, or cry because they're oh-so emotional, but because sometimes, they make us realize what we're missing on, in terms of how we act or spend our days.
We do agree that some of these movies are far from being realistic, (and even that...
Commercials hold a special place in everyone’s heart. A 30 second advertisement has an infinite impact. Some are unforgettable because of the story, some because of the jingle and some due to the people. But whatever the reasons be, since ages advertisements have been talk of the town.
We chose 5 TVCs (it was difficult) that became a hit.

We trace the journey of high heels through nearly 5 centuries of evolution from being a symbol of masculinity in early 16th century to representing the erotic femininity we are familiar with today.
You must have wondered at the impracticality of high heels at some point in your life irrespective of whether you are a man or a woman. As...
In our previous article, we traced the historical evolution of high heeled shoes and in this blog post ED looks at high heels and the way they are worn in the present (not just fashion :D) context.
It might be that Christian Louboutin may not have known that his famous trademarked red soled shoes coveted the world over by women had such...
As part of our High Heels Campaign we had a short chat with Sushant Divgikar, Mr. Gay India, about his take on MEN wearing Heels! Here goes:
Q. Do you wear heels?
A. I don't wear heels every day, I wear it if the show I'm doing requires me to or if I am performing as a drag queen.
Q. What’s your take...
