India has always been silent on the matter of homosexuality and the LGBTQ community.
So what better way to grab the attention of the silent society, than by making a silent movie only?!
Sisak, India’s 1st LGBTQ love story will be making its premiere in Delhi on July 1st, 2017.
The film has been well received internationally, with it having been selected...
Remember the good days when celebrities used to be all charming and well behaved?
Well, it is no more the same now thanks to politics and a special mention to the present right wing government.
In the past months, we have seen tremendous shifts towards the Right by people who used to be unbiased and centrist. Some of them have gone...
Fake Friendly Fridays is a section where we pick a famous personality and throw fake questions to him/her and in return receive fake answers. Why should you not take it seriously? Because it is fake. Duh! Put your hands together for the talk of the town: MILEY CYRUS!

I opened the newspaper one morning and was shocked when the headlines read that a woman, a Khasi woman, was thrown out of a golf club because she was wearing her jainsem dress and was told that she “dresses like a servant and looks like a Nepalese.”
There are just so many things that are wrong with...
Anand Pal Singh was shot dead by Rajasthan Police a few days ago. Rajput community is boiling since then, his family has refused to take the body and protests have become violent with people burning government cars and buildings.
This calls for a ED special Demystifier on what exactly the issue is.
Who Was Anand Pal?
Anand Pal was from a small...

After imposing a naval blockade in the aftermath of the Qatar crisis, one which left the tiny Gulf nation not only politically isolated and with severed ties with its neighbours but also locked out of maritime trade, Saudi Arabia has given Qatar an ultimatum to fulfil 10 conditions.
Onerous List Of Demands
The humongous and non-negotiable list of demands includes that:
Doha must close...
To buy something you’ve never checked for defects and haven’t tried on for size. Little scary, right?
Of course, most of us are used to it. Online shopping is convenient.
Who has the time to wander in and out of different shops, trying out clothes, spending hours in a stuffy mall in between large crowds? Why not just sit in the...

One of my first memories of surviving on junk food is of a good old Happy Meal at McDonald's.
Every time I went out with family, I pestered my parents to dine at McDonald's. My childhood was all about McPuffs, McAaloo Tikki Burgers and McChicken Burgers.
Even now I visit McD for a cheap or economical meal on broke days. Not...

We are back with FlippED! And this time our two Bloggers are fighting about the much-debated issue of Aadhaar card. While it seems there may come a time when one will be commanded to be born with an Aadhaar Card but the real question is: Will Aadhaar be a game changer?
Aadhaar will bring about a revolution in...
So, at the time of writing this article, admissions to the elusive seats of Delhi University are taking place. Thousands of students line up like well, I can't even draw an analogy for this because the main analogy for desperate people who are hulked out over something & are then flipped off by life, is DU students.
There is a...
In 2004, Air India rejected a lot of its applicants who had applied for the recruitment of 400 new flight attendants. Reason? They had pimples and scars on their skin.
The airline industry flourishes on sexism, which it so blatantly uses that people have absolutely no problem with it.
Do you need a pretty-looking person or a perfectly well-trained one to...

Harassment is nothing new for women across the globe.
It is a sad, sad reality that practically every living and in some cases even dead woman has faced some form of harassment in their life, atleast once.
Be it walking down the street, in front of their college, inside their home, inside the market, inside a mall, inside a toilet. You...
In Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, you can buy a gang rape video at a mere price of 20-200 rupees. Rape videos for sale in India have become a booming market where one can buy these 'local films' over the counter and jerk off his way to pleasure at seeing women and children being sexually violated.

What image comes to mind when one says, traditional girl?
Probably someone wearing a suit and salwar, hair pulled back in a braid and visiting the temple every free second. Someone timid and who can practically do every housework without losing breath.
When one says traditional girl, they automatically believe that she is not modern in thinking.
But I ask why exactly...
“I don’t ever want to have a baby.”
This declaration has raised many an eyebrow in my social circles. Why would any woman say that for god’s sake? The impression remains that once I get a husband and have a child in my arms all my maternal instincts will automatically kick in.
Not.
Look around you. We are a dying species. We...
