After 18 months without a coach, the Indian cricket team finally has none other than Anil Kumble at the helm! Personally, I really feel glad as he truly deserves a shot at leading the team.
Low odds in the beginning
Everyone knows about Kumble’s prowess in spinning the ball any way he wanted, usually leaving the batsman stumped (pun intended). But...
Shirish Kunder just came up with a brilliant psychological thriller (hard to believe right? I know!) titled Kriti. It is a short film starring Manoj Bajpayee, Radhika Apte (brownie points for these two) and Neha Sharma. Now isn’t that a lethal combination?
Right from the unusual camera angles to sudden flashes of Bajpai’s imagination that make your heart skip a...
The second International Yoga Day was celebrated on June 21st, 2016 in a grand manner. The Indian method of meditation has got an overwhelming response from different parts of the world.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Cristiano Ronaldo was supposed to deliver as the talisman of Portugal at the time of requirement and he did it in the most Ronaldo way possible. 3-3 was the scoreline for Hungary v/s Portugal and CR7 put on a show to remember with 2 goals and 1 assist.

A morbid disease has been plaguing Japan for years. The Japanese youth is becoming increasingly averse to relationships, sex or any form of intimacy. Social scientists call it the 'celibacy syndrome'. Yes, it may sound weird. But the majority of the Japanese youth prefers to never get married at all. What's more, many are forsaking the practices of dating...
When it comes to launching your own business, you will need a lot of things behind you. However, as with anything, some things are more necessary that others. And, as a business is such a big and potentially costly venture, you simply can’t afford not to know which is which.
With this in mind, there are some essential things that...
Group B in Euro 2016 had turned out to be rather interesting when it went into its final round of matches yesterday. With all the teams (Wales, UK, Russia and Slovakia) having a chance of qualification, it was anybody’s game actually. Here is an analysis of the Wales v/s Russia game:
Arguably the better game of the 2 tonight. Wales...

Dear Bhai,
Aren’t you controversy’s favourite child? Frankly, I do not think that you deserve being addressed as dear, or called a bhai at all, but I’ll try to be formal here.
To be very honest, I used to love your movies once. Andaz Apna Apna, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, what wasn’t there to love? You...
DEvil: Satanic, devilish and evil stories from around the world
Celebrating Father’s Day is a way to thank them for everything they have done for their children. Fathers take up the role of a protector in the child’s life. But if you thought all fathers are the same you are sadly mistaken.

For years, surrogacy has raised ethical and financial issues around the world: why women who opt for surrogacy...
Cricket or Hockey? Nope. Believe it or not, judging is the Indian society's favourite sport. Women bear the brunt of constant humiliation for indulging in all that the society considers as 'blasphemy' or associates with men in general.
People nothing but crave to play the moral police. But who laid down the guidelines to morality? What's morally wrong to one...
The Environment Ministry’s permission to ‘cull’ animals in few Indian states has got a mixed response across the country. Culling is an action where humans are allowed to kill the animals that cause inconveniences legally.

This Father's Day, I decided to think about the first memory that I have of my father.

Dad is the first superhero of his daughter, and the first ever friend of his son. Fathers do everything in their power to make their kids' dreams come true. They act as a shield to protect their children from the dangers of the world. But, their job isn't commended as much as it ought to be. With this in mind,...
Father's Day is here again and this time we asked our fellow ED bloggers about how did their fathers influence their life and the difference he made with his wisdom. Now a fair warning to all, don't you get teary eyed after reading this.

We all are guilty of using the internet a little too much, but for the Chinese, it seems to be a way too serious concern, as it declared internet addiction as a clinical disorder in 2008. “People who spend more than 6 hours on the internet for something other than work and study, are likely to be addicted to...
