Breakfast Babble: ED’s own little space on the interwebs where we gather to discuss ideas and get pumped up for the day. We judge things too. Sometimes. Always. Whatever, call it catharsis and join in people. First up, this is not a long rant on unemployment and bad career choices, pinky swear. Just a little chat over coffee. Read along! So,...
I often saw some people in my friend list were tagged in beautiful candid pictures. But these photos always happened to be by some restaurants, clubs, bars etc. I tried to look up if these people were friends with or known to the owners or the photographers, but NO. In fact, when I looked up these restaurants or bars, I...
mountaineering
Liv’ED It is an ED original style where we write about our personal experiences on experiencing and reviewing any app/place/website which gives us a feeling of coming back for more. Situated on the highest point of the 692 km. long Aravalli Ranges, Mt. Abu is a popular hill station in the desert state- Rajasthan. For most of the tourists, Indian...

U.P. vs Delhi
What things do you notice when you live in U.P. and travel to Delhi or vice versa? U.P. and Delhi are situated next to each other but the ideological difference is huge. I have lived both in Delhi and in many cities of U.P. This is what I think after juxtaposing both the states. Tobacco Fever Both in Delhi and U.P. there...
It's fair to say that almost every one of us was saddened by the news of McDonald's being shut down because some of us have our childhood memories attached to it while it was a go to fast food restaurant to fulfill our undying appetite for many. Whatever be the reasons for its shutdown, all of us want it to...

chicken pox
By Shivansh Gupta I recently recovered from 11 days of an encounter with chicken pox. 11 days of being bed ridden, detached and resisting the temptation to scratch the itches which is impossible to do. In fact, I would succeed if someone told me to try not to think about sex for a week but resisting the urge to scratch is...
movies from UP
Recently I reacted to the trailer of Bareilly Ki Barfi and in it one thing that jumped out to me as pointed in the article was how well it captured the UP quirks and habits. And it brings me to the fact that in the past few years or especially since 2010 or so, Bollywood has slowly been gravitating towards...
Bigg Boss Dream Team

smartphones
The one quote that often circulates on mother’s day is “My mother taught me everything, but not how to live without her”, and in today’s world, the same seems to apply to our smartphones. From its simplistic presentation to its highly complex circuits, the smartphone in many ways can be like a mother. Are smartphones really smart, or just...

The recent crackdown on drug use in Delhi revealed that eighty percent of children in Old and New Seemapuri areas were victims of drug abuse.

ranbir kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor’s Jagga Jasoos seems to be doing pretty well. Even if it might not have broken any records or even the 100 crore club, it does seem to be well received by the public. However, considering the amount of time this movie took, almost 3 years, the expectations from Jagga Jasoos were much more than what we got given...
ghosting
There was a time when relationships were extremely simple, in India especially you had your parents choose a partner for you, you got married without much ado and then lived with that person for the rest of your life. I know it might seem backward and boring to many, but in many ways, this was much simpler and uncomplicated to...
It was a Sunday night. One of the worst Sunday nights in my life till date. The pains started just after lunch and I put it off thinking them to be nothing but acidity. After all, the Sunday brunch was a pretty heavy one. However, by the time evening came, I had to  be rushed to a hospital. At the...
comedy shows

Don’t we just love to doodle? We love it so much that our notebooks and textbooks are filled with them. Mine is. Pages and pages of mindless scribbling. While the onlooker may think that they are mere scribbles, recent studies have proved otherwise. (By the way, the above picture is not from my copy. Sorry.)

Bareilly Ki Barfi trailer
Making a good trailer is not easy, it might not seem like much, it is just a 2 or 2.5-minute video after all, and should basically give a brief synopsis of the film. But that is not what all it is all about and for some time now, I have seen a plethora of badly made trailers filled with unoriginal...
Raghuvir had only gone to fetch a pail of water. Water that was essential to sustain his two children during the hot Rajghat summer. Raghuvir never came back with the water. He became food for hungry gharials lurking in the Chambal waters. His body was never discovered. To this day, his wife regrets not being able to perform his last rites. Ashwin...
Cricket
In the words of India's former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi “Take the case of Delhi (DDCA). It is a ‘company’ under Section 25 of the Companies Act.” Well, only the Delhi Cricket board might ‘officially’ be a company, but all of the state cricket boards and the BCCI do act like a company. Held by a few. Focused on profits. And screwing...
hiv positive
HIV is a very controversial and taboo topic in India, like every other important and necessary topic is. But no one can deny that this problem exists in our country but very few people are ready to talk about it. A large majority is still unaware of what HIV is, why one should be careful with it, and what can...
