  India is a cricketing nation. People eat and sleep, talk and walk cricket. Agreed. It is often proclaimed that cricket is the only sport in India. With this statement, however, I beg to differ. Cricket was one of the first sports to be commercialised in India. Or in other words, it was the driving force for several sports to be commercialised...

Imagine you are in 2015 (no imagination required there)! Take a time machine and travel back to 2000. If the transition you experience doesn’t make you feel like a Stone Age human, then please go and kill yourself. Such has been the change!

Never in his wildest dreams Ahmed Mohamed would have thought that trying to impress his teacher with a home-made alarm clock would make him an internet sensation and also get him an invite to the White House and Facebook headquarters. Imagine the excitement and anxiety he would have woken up to to exhibit his engineering skills in front of his...
Bunking classes, the word that wakes up the laziest bum in the class, is the holy grail of every college going student. Backbenchers swear by it and our teachers hate us for it, bunking has united many people together. We believe that college is equivalent to fun and what’s some fun, without risk (=bunk). So here’s why we bunk classes: Sleeping:...
If Internet Explorer made you lose all hope in technology, if you only paint the toenails that show in your shoes and if the refrigerator is always too far from everywhere at home, welcome to the gang!  In the technology driven world today how taxing it can be to visit a relative when you can simply Facetime. When Siri is the...
  The US Open is my least favourite Grand Slam. The reason is much too obvious. Live streaming comes through the dark and lonely night hours and the choice between sleep and tennis is one I hate making. More often than not, currency serves its second purpose as one-too-many coin tosses make the life threatening decision. Regardless of what it is though,...

Whenever you hear the word howler, the first thing that’ll come to your mind will be the magical letter that shouted at Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. But, in actual, a howler is referred to a very stupid or glaring mistake. So here are a few howlers that prove how “sensible” some Indians are: Hey! You’re...
We talk about everything through media, and reflect on various aspects of living as a law-abiding and responsible individual.   But more recently, we have seen how both electronic and print media have started focusing more on one single issue, and broadcasting it till all the other news topics got sidelined in the minds of the public. The Whys and Hows A...

The phrase, ‘A picture is worth a thousand words,’ has become a cliché of sorts in today’s Instagram-happy world where a single photo, selfie or otherwise, can be circulated among across millions around the world. However, as overwrought as its use has become today, it was only too correct when the now infamous image of a young, three-year old boy,...
Out of all the many cuisines I have ever tasted I have to say, that Italian is one of my favorite ones.  The smell of ripe tomatoes, meat, and fresh vegetables and that smell of olives, and that typical sauce which can be had with anything, smell of fresh pasta, bread or pizza. It’s like you get transported to...
While the 2016 Presidential Race has already turned out to be one of the more interesting and unpredictable ones of recent times, the 2020 Race easily trumps (no pun intended) the former. Why?
