Sport is one of the greatest aspects of modern life and is something that millions of us partake in on a daily basis. Whether we’re watching or playing, those activities can have a vast impact on our lives. But it’s not only personal enjoyment that can be enhanced by embracing those activities. There’s also a fantastic chance to earn...
This poem is written by Shefali Vaidya, and has been viral since yesterday morning. Because of it's accurate satirical take, we were encouraged to construct a picture story around it.
On a dark Delhi highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of beef pakoras, rising up in the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a candle march
My head grew...
Remember the time when you were in 12th grade and your dad was tying your shoe lace because he spoilt you way too much to teach you the bunny knot? Ah…good old days. The sad bit about it is, that I still can’t tie those damn lacey things without tripping and breaking my neck.
So, for spoilt brats like me...
What movies like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Queen forget to point out in the travel diaries of the lead role is that travel isn’t always pretty nor exciting. What really helps shape it is the terminal spots of the journey: the “points” A and B: they are the first impression and the last memory of the "voyage".
After PM Modi...
“I was wondering what would break first. Our country or its growth estimates.”
Economic ratings and growth estimates are a “bane” to any economy if the numbers are watched closely.
Well, I am not saying that our economy is utopian (thanks to the failed attempt to speed up reforms called Union Budget 2016-17), neither am I saying that we should jump...
Spring has arrived, spilling colours over the otherwise, monotonous lush green landscape. The sky, with its own kind of blue, and the ground, with its assorted hues and flowery bloom, is turning the a compound inside the Rashtrapati Bhawan, into a feast for the eyes.
The manicured lawns of Mughal Gardens have transitioned into an eclectic, heterogenous fluorescence in the...
Not a lot of people miss a chance of going through the dawn of sexual attraction, the almighty Puberty. These are the times when our body goes through certain hormonal changes which help us determine who we are attracted too, be it romantically or sexually.
A Few Handy Explanations:
Here we present you few definitions of sexual orientations that will not...
It all started with a six on the first ball and a Wicket on the next. The match between the blacks and the blues was bound to be enthralling and an energetic one. Sadly enough, the only form of energy we got to see from New Zealand’s side and our beloved nation was all ready to leave the ground...

Once upon a time, there was a king who owned India’s biggest liquor company, a private jet, an Airbus and many other riches. In the year 2005, he launched an airline to match his style and flamboyance. This tale I’m about to tell is of how he went from bang to bust.
By now you must have guessed...
Ever marvelled at the infinitude and beauty of the night sky? Standing under the moon lit sky and gazing at the stars, feeling lost and found, at the same time? Seeking answers, especially on an exam night? (Well, that escalated quickly!)
Stargazing is beautiful, evoking a sense of contentment. It is for people with a sense of wonder. Enter TECHNOLOGY....
Societies crumble when it starts to decay from inside. The recent findings on the treatment of women and children in conflict zones shed light upon how apathetic we have become to the sufferings of others. War is not just limited to combats, it has taken a broader meaning including psychological warfare.
Sexual assault is one such tool which is being...
Aim:

Pre-Requisite:
A fair idea of the measurements of the place, purposes the space will be used for and your budget.

Coming of age, we realise the freedom that comes with having the dichotomy of our own room. There is this one physical space,...
it was not about Modi Ji. It was not about The Art Of Living Foundation. Neither it was about the damage to river Yamuna. Those topics can be left for the news channel debates.
The World Cultural Festival was all about the experience.
Day 1:
8500 musicians and many more dancers took their positions on the stage, majestic in its grandeur and...
“There is sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s greed”- Mahatma Gandhi
The rise of Rajat
Another Indian had made it big. Born in Kolkata to parents of exiguous means, Rajat Gupta had been handed the baton of the Indian dream at a young age. Having attended IIT and subsequently Harvard Business School, he began his meteoric...
Rightly said, the T20 fiesta has begun and so has the excitement (people have started conducting pujas for it more often). As the world cup is ready to launch into a new galaxy altogether, this time, around in a new country, some new players but with the same old spirit and enthusiasm (as they say cricket is the evergreen...
“If anything can make me win an election, it is Photoshop.” – Rahul Gandhi.
Instead of relying on the leaders and party members, political parties now completely rely on their technical team. A team made of experts who are from head to toe involved in photoshopping. Because originality is such a cliché. Be it BJP or Congress, use of unfair...
Orange is the new black; black is the new black, hell maroon might be the new black but nudity, that’s the new normal. Does it make sense? Absolutely not; but then again, has mankind ever?
Over a million years ago, when we accepted nature as it came, rocking that mammoth skin crop-top while feeling the warm breeze on our bare...
Welcome again to my weekly desi take on the top trends and news of this week.
Yes, people say stupid stuff, and some go ahead and DO even more ire inviting stuff. My goal is to be unbiased to their degree of stupidness and bring to you the top 3 mentions of the week that can induce a migraine even in the most...
The intentions are not malicious but harmful. The issue is not political but environmental, as of now! The cultural festival organised by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s Art of Living is a beguiling initiative according to me and I shall explain my stand.
Organizing a cultural fest that has a huge threshold and displaying India’s cultural diversity to the world is...
Are you tired of having to sit through DD's lethally boring news broadcast to know which country PM Modi is taking his next Air India to? Look no further because digital India is real, people!
Free 13 MB in your smartphone and Prime Minister Modi is as approachable as the nearest grocery (Grofers).
Narendra Modi seems to be taking care of...
The Trigger
The clock was 6 minutes away from declaring the beginning of the next day, the day I had chosen to keep a fast. To set the record straight, I am not a religious person at all, I don’t visit temples or chant mantras. But desperate times call for desperate measures and when you are one of those few...

Holy Mother of God.
HBO dropped the first trailer of Game of Thrones this morning, to the shock and surprise of all its fans. Season 5, which ended with Ned Stark’s bastard being stabbed in the back (and in the front, too), was the most controversial of all its seasons with questions being raised about its use of sexposition and...
