If you ever wondered how would it be like to be rich, you have arrived at the right place. Forbes recently released a long list of top earning celebrities on earth, because why not. We ought to make the people who can buy physical copies of Forbes feel poorer after all.

Anyway, we did the stupid math, total estimated...
Let me start off with the fact that according to me the current or my generation at least is an extremely flawed one. We choose to live in a bubble where we want everything around us to be perfect or at least be the way we believe it to be right.
Anything other than that is not acceptable, and we...
The HP fandom has grown over the years, it’s one of the most followed series (both the books and the movies!).
The origin of the HP film series was rather humble. Late in 1997, film producer David Heyman's London offices had received a copy of the first book in what would become Rowling's series of seven Harry Potter novels. The book, Harry Potter...

Before you cringe, let me get this straight: some things sound legit dope in translation. Take Gangs Of Wasseypur for example, ever watched it with subtitles? Yes, watching (aka reading) it in English can make you laugh so hard that you'd feel like you just got kicked down there.

We are back with FlippED! And this time our two Bloggers are fighting (we seem to do that a lot) about Competitive Coaching Institutes. Remember your Aakash and Fiitjee days? Yep, by institutes we mean those of a similar kind.
Competitive coaching institutes pose the greatest threat to the bright, young minds of school goers

So, there is this particular...
Arsene Wenger has probably built Arsenal from the scratch and the fact that Arsenal is one of the top clubs in the world is all down to him. His stay at the helm has been filled with many memorable moments, but it's always better to say goodbye sooner than later. #WengerOut
No High Profile Signings
Does Arsene actually think that if...
I have always heard or seen news stories about Mumbai being flooded with rains and people being stranded midway. But this was the first time I experienced it first hand.
Reports suggest that Mumbai is experiencing its worst rainfall in the past 9 years. This is more or less like 2005 or maybe even worse.
I was in college when the...
"Swachh Bharat is a humongous success" - said no one ever.
However, today I'm here to remind you that Swachh Bharat, despite its shortcomings, is not a failure. Of course, it has not been a colossal triumph either. But it has surely affected millions of lives in a positive way.
Now before beginning with justifying my claims, I'd like to clarify that...
Pages like “Nihilist Memes” on Facebook have 1.8 million likes. People think that they can get their daily dose of “nihilism” from there. But it is sad and funny to see how teens who subscribe to these pages think that nihilism means leaving the world for the better and abandoning everything that belongs to you.
Those memes aren’t nihilistic. They...
Children are supposed to be innocent and G rated. There is a society wide held notion that the innocence of kids is of the utmost importance and should be safeguarded for as long as possible.
But that fact is that what is preached and what the children actually experience are two very different things. In fact, there is a threat...

So this weekend my mom turned forty and to get her out of the ‘I’m now old’ blues, my dad decided to take her out of the city which meant that I and my sister will be the queens of the house for an entire weekend! And you know what that means – A House Party of course!
Now since...
Back in Time is ED’s newspaper-like column that reports an incident from the past as though it has happened just yesterday. It allows the reader to relive it several years later, on the date it had occurred.
28th August 2011: Arsenal has been beaten black and blue by Manchester United (8-2) and it was probably the most humiliating day as a...
Divorce cases dealt by the family courts increased by 350 percent between 2003 and 2011 in Kolkata and doubled in Mumbai between 2010 and 2014.
The rate of divorces has increased from 1 in 1000 marriages to 13 in 1000 marriages in the past 10 years. Although this is still low, officials in family courts say that the number of divorce applications...
Just today, I came across this Facebook post by Ms. Shara Ashraf, the Lifestyle Editor at Hindustan Times. What struck out to me and got me to blog about her post was not just her story about Dolly Bindra’s FIR against yet another fraud and scamming God-woman, instead it was her personal opinion on the entire matter, that she...
Death hoaxes are nothing new. We often hear about the death of some or the other celebrity which turns out be entirely fabricated.
The worst of these are the dreaded spams. One click to read about a supposed death and you end up sharing it without your knowledge.
All the sites using this false news as click-bait deserve to be shut...
If you ask me what shows I am watching these days, you will probably hear the names of a bunch of international show. And yeah, I am sure that you all will think that this is another example of too much western culture and that I am being pretentious by only watching foreign shows.
But let me be perfectly honest,...

I don’t drink and drive as I don’t drive. Or should I say I can't? It will be not wrong to say that there are many others who sheepishly, come under this category.
When you can't drive it feels like you are a buffoon among a bunch of smart people .i.e. those who can drive. At least if I...
