This is not a religious article. This article hasn't been written to offend other religions or faith systems and it certainly doesn't talk about how my religion as well as the culture of Sikhism is better than your faith system.
This is just my experience as a Sikh and how I, despite being skeptical about God (or any other form...
I think there are K-Pop artists who make better music than the American pop we are fine tuned to hear. BTS is no Ed Sheeran but their stage performances have better finesse and are pretty smooth on the ears too.
Don't you think Psy's popularity was probably a testimony of the soft power K-Pop held over the world?

FPL is a craze among football fanatics and millions of people take part in it. The thing is newbies don’t choose players based on strategies and logic but more on instinct and loyalty.
So, here’s a list of 6 bargain buys in the new FPL window which should be a certainty in everyone’s team.
1. Dwight Gayle (6.5)- Newcastle United

Considering the fact that it takes more than 3 gallons of water to make a single sheet of paper, it is high time we go paperless and embrace the current digital trend.
The Digital India initiative is something our Govt. should truly be commended for. After all it's not only giving our environment a time out, but also providing for...
Mr. Pranab Mukherjee has demitted himself as the 13th President of India. His farewell speech was emotional and described an incredible journey of his participation in the political process. The nostalgia inspired moments of utter respect for his almost 40 years old association with the Parliament. That’s a long time to be representing the country.
He did not only convey...
Wednesday witnessed high voltage theatrics when Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar resigned from his post. His timing for resignation was more than perfect.

"It’s not an action film, it's a survival film"
Missing are the huge fireballs. Missing are the spectacular explosions and that the magnanimous background score. Missing is the hour-long exposition.
Dunkirk wins on subtlety and spectacle. A horrifying one.
First, a history lesson. The story of Dunkirk is the story of the rescue of 400,000 soldiers from the beaches of...
Sex education is something our society has been deprived of since forever and it has negative repercussions.
When I talk to people of my age or even older about sex or the human body (particularly the reproductive system), it shocks me that people know so little about the other sex and even their own so many times.
The sheer lack of...
The debate over Talent vs. Networking in any industry is as old as the debate over Nature vs. Nurture. While there are many who say that talent, skill and knowledge are all that matters in any career or industry, there are others who claim that networking, or formal relationships between colleagues in the industry is as important.
There is a...
Implanting a chip inside of a human, sounds to be coming straight from a Hollywood sci-fi movie where the evil government body puts such chips inside of their citizens to keep a track of them.
But perhaps that future is not that far as a US-based company in New York already seems well on the way to bringing that fictional...
When one wonders about what to do with their free time or is making a plan with friends, the obvious place to look at are all the event listing sites like BookMyShow, LBB and more.
Their entrance in the digital sphere has brought a lot of relief to people, especially in the Metro cities as now they can search for...
When one says a budget holiday, a couple of destinations come to mind, but it is Dubai that sticks out more than any other.
Sure there are places like Bali, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok and more. However, they all seem to pale in front of all that Dubai has to offer.
Dubai is not only the paradise destination for budget travellers but...
It seems like Michael Kors has bought himself a new pair of shoes worth $1.2 billion.
Yes, you heard it right! What kind of shoe costs that much? The answer is simple; it is Jimmy Choo of course!
It was confirmed this Tuesday that Michael Kors Company bought Jimmy Choo for $1.2 billion. The British firm has been up for sale...
Status quo might just be opening its regressive wings in the country to welcome feminism with open arms but as we dive into the first phase of its acceptance, elitism creeps in right at that instant when working women start demanding paid leaves for periods and menstrual pain.
And that's when the scales tip and the balance is disturbed. Cometh...
Gordon Ramsay has developed a reputation as the ultimate lord of badass-ery and cuss words and sometimes, that can be put to good use. Great use. HILARIOUS USE.
And especially, given the love that Gordon Ramsay has for India, we decided to put our own little twist to it and came up with a poster series.
This poster series gives you...
Lipstick Under My Burkha has got to be the most controversial movie of 2017.
The CBFC presided by Pahlaj Nihalani had left no stone unturned to curb the release of the movie specifically because it explores a 'forbidden' part of life in India: the sexual fantasies of a woman.
Tauba! Tauba!
Sexual fantasies? Libido? Of women?
You've got to be kidding me. Every...

Reverse psychology is the way you can motivate someone to do something by telling them to do the exact opposite of it. Reverse psychology should only be used on the person’s subconscious mind and not his conscious mind.
Just knowing what reverse psychology is isn’t enough for you to be able to put it to good use. Learning how to...
Whenever a new movie is coming out, after all the glitz and glamour of it, our interest goes to the dialogues of it.
And it is in only rare cases that a movie gives us some precious jewels in its very first trailer, much before the full-length feature even comes out.
Bareilly Ki Barfi is one such film, where the lines...

While the whole nepotism debate has been covered by everyone with a mouth or a keyboard, it's important to also point out that there have been many superstars who have made it big without a (god)father in the film industry. The biggest name among them...
Statutory Spoiler warning for those who haven’t watched Episode 2 of Game of Thrones yet.
‘It’s me, Arya.’
Ah, the heartbreak. It was obvious from the preview last week that we would see Nymeria and Arya back together (Okay. Maybe the wolf in the preview was not her but, whatever). But I for one, had forgotten how sad it could be....
Yeah, you heard that right. Sex Dolls. If you get offended or you cringe easily, please stop reading the article.
The need for Sex Dolls
Now, an introduction. Sex dolls have been around for a long, long time. The first known instance is the use of a very primitive version of sex dolls by Dutch sailors in the 17th century, to...

A lazy conversation with my friend revealed something that continues to haunt me, still.
A part of my private Facebook conversation with someone was leaked to a group. She showed me a screenshot of it and I realized that neither my name, nor my photograph was blurred from the forward.
I was fuming. How could someone ever dare to forward a...
It is quite perplexing that the U.S. continues to fund Pakistan in spite of publicly slandering Pakistan for being a hub of terrorists and also threatening it with warnings of grave consequences.
How Did It All Start?
In the 1980s, the major reason behind aiding Pakistan was to use Islamic warriors funded by Saudi Arabia and trained by Pakistan to fight...
