When we think of Salman Khan, we think of his action packed movies which I generally don’t prefer. However, Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan does not fall in that bracket. This movie is a typical bollywood fantasy tale with of course, a pinch of action which is a sine qua non in all Salman Khan’s movies.
However, this movie is a...
Spanish sports involving bulls is a phenomenon with worldwide attention. The ban of bull fights in Barcelona and the imminent ban on bull runs in Pamplona has once more raised questions on whether carnage should become casual and where would the limits of heroism exceed eccentricity.
But there is so much more to sports associated with bulls and buffaloes in...
Back in Time is a newspaper type column that reports an incident from the past as though it has happened just yesterday. It allows the reader to re-live it several years later, on the date it had occurred.
For this incident, we go back in time to 1961.
Idaho, Sunday, 2nd July: Author and Journalist Ernest Miller Hemingway was found dead from a...
We have been spoon-fed dates and years, and their corresponding events through our textbooks, and thus have sufficient knowledge regarding important historical and/or political world events. However, here is some food for thought for all the bookworms out there – see how knowledgeable you are about the significance of the month of July in the Literary Calendar, over centuries.
These...
Guess what? Today, it’s been 60 years since the late great Walt Disney inaugurated the first Disneyland in California! Six decades of magical vacationing which never gets old. Take a look at how this legacy has grown over the years…
July 18th, 1955: The grand opening of the world’s “Most Lavish Amusement Park on Earth”, built on the orange orchards...
By now all of you must have heard about ‘The Comedy Hunt’ being organised by the joint association of India’s leading comedians / stand-up artists who paved their way to success and limelight by getting an internet connection and starting their own YouTube channel (the latter costs no money).
Well, YouTube has completely changed the comedy scene in India.
Tale...
Hey Everybody,
This Friendly Fridays has probably been one of my most entertaining chats with a celebrity so far (and he never behaved like a celeb even once).
But before we get started let me tell you, there’s a big surprise for all you Ishant Sharma and cricket fans at the end of this FF, so don’t forget to catch it.
With...
You know you have crossed the limits of being an introvert when your good but highly interfering friend out of sheer desperation signs you up for an event called Speed Dating and then forces you to go to that event.
I am a loner, I love to be alone, but apparently that was not to be according to my friend...
“You shouldn’t commit suicide because you’re afraid of dying.” This is what Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said aimed at convincing Greeks that the austerity measures and budget cuts rejected by their Government are actually for good.
Since its failure to repay the €1.56Bn to the IMF by June 30, 2015 Greece has really made itself vulnerable...
So, another overseas tour for the Indian Cricket team is at an end. Well, not exactly. We still have two T20’s to look forward to. Or maybe, ‘look forward to’ is pushing it. The three one-day internationals between Zimbabwe and India came and went with hardly any hype or noise (great job, Ten Sports), so much so that anyone...
“An actor of beguiling charm and menacing intensity, ready to jump into the skin of any character and transform himself seamlessly.”
- Peter O’Toole, on his Lawrence of Arabia co-star, Omar Sharif
Omar Sharif, born to a family of Lebanese descent in Egypt and star of David Lean’s epic Lawrence of Arabia passed away on the 10th of July, 2015. For...
Few days ago our dear Prime Minister, Narendra Modi ji, hopped on yet another plane (oh no!) and flew away to extend India’s heart, soul and love to his fellow counterparts, as we bid him goodbye for his yet another travel and our parents looked at the burning hole in their pockets in vain.
Much happiness and sadness!
Let’s not crib...
These days, the internet is all about women. From getting a 20% quota in village panchayats, we have come a long way: we now have our own section on most major web-mags!
But I think something's not right... When they say "Ladies first", wasn't it because they considered us weaker and in need of much support? If I remember correctly,...
The in vogue platter for today is SILENT DISCO.
The word "Silent disco" does surely sound like an oxymoron because Disco's without loud music are basically old people's club with food drinks and maybe a table of cards. But don't worry this is not an grumpy Aunty-Uncle evil scheme to restrict loud music parties to 8 o'clock but a solution...
Very Recently, All India Bakchod released a satirical masterpiece titled Unoffended. I know this seems more like a Taylor Swift song than an AIB product, but you can’t have the cake and eat it too. (Take note, Tanmay). Anyway, we at ED are sure you have seen the video by now. However, the probability of you having read the...
If anyone asks me to list down 10 books which are a must read, for me, To Kill A Mockingbird would top the list. It has been read, loved and revered by pretty much most of us.
I’m not someone who is very fond of books, but this is one book I can read again and again and still feel equally...

As Minions hit the Silver Screens this gone by Friday, we went around asking people what they thought about the small, yellow, gibberish speaking creatures.
A Cute Nice Watch! You can never get enough of Minions, isn’t it?

With the recently concluded ISL player’s draft and auction, all the ISL teams have started to take shape. The auction was an indicator to each team’s core strength which will be formed by the Indian players as all the teams look to get their hands on the second edition of the coveted trophy.
So in this article series, we take...
This year, the Wimbledon was all about Swiss Miss- Martina Hingis and Indian bliss- Sania Mirza and Leander Paes!
A true tennis fan in India can at this point be easily recognised by the following: droopy eyes, dark circles, other indicators of sleep deprivation, and of course, a wide grin!
The only thing missing this weekend was beauty sleep, because excitement,...

It aims to connect the dots of various projects, past and present, to bring India to a global platform. It will help in moving with the universal trends of digital innovation and...
All that she, he or anybody could ever want. Yes, you read it right. We need Roti, Kapda, Makaan aur Broadband for our survival nowadays.
Talks our that broadband has been added to as the 7th need in Maslow’s need hierarchy theory :D (well, the psycho and business grads amongst our readers will get the pun, for those who don’t,...
In the first blog post we pointed out the fact that analysts estimate that the impact of Digital India from positive externalities could lead to a increase in GDP by ~9%.
That’s sounds fair and square in the air, you might say but how is it going to happen.
How am I going to benefit from any of this fancy gizmo-do...
I am a comic-book fan. I am a popular television and movie fan. And I’m also a huge fan of anything and everything in pop culture that catches my eye on page, or on screen. And it is this particular eccentricity, a little something I’m sure I share with a lot of other people that has me burning green...
One is ice, the other is fire. Actually, that's about it.
They really don't need any introduction and just their names are enough for anyone to start quaking in their boots or sandals. OK, so they are fictional characters, but that doesn't mean they don't have feelings or a mind of their own.
I present the fierce and humongous Drogon, son of the...
There has been a sudden disturbing frenzy caused amongst the people of India after the recent deaths of people related to the Vyapam scam. But with this there has also been a lot of speculation and confusion in the air about what the whole scam is all about and how has this large scale scam unfolded in the years.
