BACK IN TIME is ED’s 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.
My mad crazy F.R.I.E.N.D.S lunatics… How you doing? ;)
This one's for you...
22nd September, 1994: Today, Monica gets a roommate. Should you really...
Women in India have been told for ages to not go out at night because it is unsafe, you know how men cannot control their sexual urges at night and go all berserk. If that wasn’t enough, our ministers are even considering asking female tourists to abstain from travelling at night for safeguarding themselves of course.
But what about women...
I’m sure you have come across some kind of porn including children over the internet, and you paused and mentally screamed because of what the world has come to (unless you are a pedophile).
Even if you wanted to do something about it, you didn’t know what to, because reporting it to the police is too time consuming (does that...
When a record 31 Indian universities make it to Top University Rankings, one has to wonder if we are doing something right.
The Indian education system, has never really been the best, no offence.
For all that we give importance to our cultural education and the learned beings that India boasts off, who have invented great things, we very often, misunderstand...
Ok, so I will start off with the fact that although I'm pretty comfortable with technology and am usually quite interested in all the new innovations in this sector, I am also quite simple in my tastes with it comes to technology.
See, I am not one of those who take a million selfies or even normal photos and send...
Pregnancy has serious effects on a woman’s mental health and life. In times where a woman’s body is treated as a reproduction machine, this judgment clearly explains that a woman IS the owner of her body.

That is definitely the question to both feminists and misogynists. Listen up, everyone, Bombay High Court has...
With that green tie, black suit, golden specs, shiny forehead and irrational mind, Nawaz Sharif rocked, surprised and mocked the UNGA with his speech. A speech so well formed that he should be the 2nd person to be given a Nobel Peace Prize for delivering a speech (1st being Obama).
Following are a few paras of the crap said by...
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt decided to part ways and the world knows about it! People are going crazy thinking about how the ‘power couple’ can separate because apparently, they are the next best thing after GOD and supposed to be perfect.
The sheer obsession the media has for couples breaking up is in some ways nihilistic because more than...
Inchal, a village in Karnataka considers teaching to be the noblest profession, so much so that in a population of 6000, 600 of them are teachers. Parents insist their children take up teaching as their profession (probably because they are in the same profession too!), and agriculture is only a second preference in this village.
The profession is valued so...
WhatsApp is one of the largest messenger app right now in India. And ever since it’s joining with Facebook, it has come out with a lot of updates that might reminisce one of Facebook only.
One of the biggest change to WhatsApp was the unlimited subscription, wherein WhatsApp was turned free for life, and one would not have to buy...
Watching live on television as the riots broke out in Bengaluru last week had me thinking about an old story I heard a long time back. As most of you must now by know, the dispute over the Cauvery isn’t a new one.
In fact, it dates back a century. However, as was evident last week, tensions between the two...
After all the time, energy and money spent on various climate summits, France has become the first country to actually take measures to make a difference with action and not just words. A bold move has been taken by the government as a part of their Energy Transition for Green Growth plan, to ban the use of plastic cups...
Amitabh Bachchan wrote a really heartfelt and seemingly progressive letter to his daughters, and people were applauding his creative talents.
But perhaps more deserving of those praises is this Indian jawan, who gave the most apt and kickass response to the militants and Pakistan, on the topic of the Uri attack.
And that too in a wonderfully written poem.
It had rhythm,...

Any ardent football fan would know how young the FIFA Ballon d'Or was. Before its introduction in 2010, there existed two separate awards for the best players in the world: FIFA World Player Of The Year and Ballon d'Or (not associated with FIFA).

A controversial legislation concerning concealed carry silently went into effect just last month in the state of Texas in United States.
This new “campus carry” law allows students and faculty (21 years and over) with valid Concealed Handgun License (CHL) to bring their handguns to all public colleges and universities in the state with a few exceptions. This law only...
Not everything you read on internet or watch on T.V. should be believed and definitely shouldn't be tried! How on earth can a polythene bag serve as a substitute for a condom? You and me know it cannot, but a couple learnt it the hard way (pun intended!).
The incident took place in Vietnam after a couple decided that they wanted...

It was a match of tactical prowess and an exhibition of bravado as Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool ran riot and won against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with a brilliant strike from Jordan Henderson.
