“Oh, did I say 6 feet 2? No, I meant 5 feet 6”.
Huh! This kind of ambiguity often arises in case of blind dating.
But for many eligible bachelors, internet dating seemed like a gift from the matchmaking god.
As per wiki (Wikipedia), a blind date is a social engagement between two persons who have not previously met, usually...
“As I look outside my window, I find myself staring at the people outside. A mother tending to her son, her love, pure and holy. A gang of children playing football. Some youngsters, leisurely, sitting and talking. I stare at myself. I stare at the person society used to perceive me as. They say I’ve changed....

We all go through hectic traffic schedules. Waiting for hours in the traffic, going to different places, working for hours, meeting deadlines, running the rat race, yes life is tough! But it is no excuse for not eating healthy. If you know you are going to be travelling, do what you can to prepare in advance. The key things to...

Everybody’s journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Indians consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality. But Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code has been under scrutiny for a while. The relevant section, which says that "carnal intercourse...

The moment a child is born in India, his/her fate is decided and sealed. There is a joke that is doing the rounds about Indian fathers who tell their sons that “Beta, you can study any field that you want as long as it’s engineering.” Parents nowadays don’t want children but mechanized robots that are good at everything. This double...

As the traditional, conventional job paths are becoming scarce, youth entrepreneurship is gaining importance. According to a NSSO report, jobs in the country have been growing at a languishing rate of 2.2% per year. Hence youth entrepreneurship is the need of the hour. These ventures are also important for the young generation to be economically independent in this age of cutthroat competition.

As India is heading towards an awaited general election, one thing that is concerning both the parties and the citizens is 'jobs'. The reason being that the job scenario in the country has been immensely grim over the past few years. A layman would probably associate growth in the gross domestic product with the growth in employment in the country. However,...

Music is to the soul what words are to the mind.
You might have whistled along the “Good Life” tunes in your college days or you might have counted enough stars by now or you might have heard your own heartbreak story in their song “apologize”. One Republic in a broad sense is a truly entrancing group.
When asked...

Now that everyone loves to write about their life a lot, why should we too wish to be somewhere behind? Yes, open any newspaper/magazine where the sense of life is given the utmost importance and, you will also observe how each of them seems to be a bit distinct from each other. Arguing on those lines, it...

Sheer fabric is made by using thin thread or low density of knit resulting in a semi-transparent and flimsy cloth. Though sheer clothing had emerged in the world of fashion from the 1920’s but our fairly popular sheer stockings didn't emerge as a trend until now. The see through fashion came in much before but the sheer material was covered with opaque garments underneath....
There are many many things about Indian classical music that I would love to talk about. But there are many concepts about which all of you should know before proceeding any further. This article will be based on such terms and definitions which are widely used in Indian classical music.
Before going on further I would like to tell you...

India has reached the point at which its growth rate should accelerate. Is it because of the capital inflows that the government and economists always worried about or is it because of some miracle which has suddenly set everything alright? Of course not, it is because of its internal factor only that is the demographic dividend.
“Demographic dividend refers...

For a country to develop, its industries must grow. Its manufacturing capability should increase. It should be able to export more and import less. Self reliance, they say.
But when India decided to adopt this path, who would have thought it would be taken to the World Trade Organization (WTO) over this? Yes, the United States of America...

I was born innocent
I wanted to live as an immortal Scent
But some gourmands
fade away this thought
I am named as a prostitute
I am looked as a matter of defame
In the valley of darkness
Inside the monster walls
where the hope crawls
I dream to live as a free soul
Prostitution, going by the meaning, it is the business or practice of engaging...
Money, money, money, must be funny in a rich man’s world! Excuse me for quoting the lyrics of the song but they were apt for the topic in discussion. Ever wondered why only the “It-Gang” in school had all the cool gadgetry while you were still fussing with your parents as to how you deserved an I-Pod let alone...

“Good artists copy, great artists steal” One of the greatest CEO of all times replied quoting Picasso, when he was accused of stealing and ripping Xerox of its technology. Many of his employees including his close associate Jonathan Ive said that Jobs would often take credit for his ideas and present them as if it were his...

Although a month is very insufficient to judge a person’s capability but with the mountains of promises made by AAP, let’s figure out the areas & the contribution made by our outright winner party. Arvind Kejriwal, the mild-mannered former tax official who leads the Aam Aadmi Party, announced on December 23, 2013 that his party would form...

The census report, 2011 brings forward a skewed sex ratio of the country: 933 females per 1000 males. This means 933 couples in India and 67 boys without a girl; bachelors for life! Of course, this is a very illogical interpretation and a stupid one too. But what I intend to convey is: ‘Boys, you better find...

Ask any finance student what they want to do when they pass out, and you’ll hear terms like: hedge fund management, Investment banking and Portfolio management. It sounds like a bunch of heavy words, doesn’t it? One question that does not leave the mind is, if the finance students are going to do all of this, then...

Girls and shoes have a love affair of their own. A one-sided love of course, for shoes do not have the power to love you back. But, a good pair definitely has the power to speak for you. You can be sexy, charming, witty or shy, just with your shoes. So if a girl loves her pair...
Dear Arvind ji
Well, let me start by congratulating you. Your sudden claim to fame is seriously surprising. Your “idealistic” though a bit unrealistic plans for the upliftment of the society seem to attract everyone’s attention.
Your ‘supposed-gandhian-behaviour’ seems to make you believe that such attitude will make the government bow to you. But wait, aren’t you the government yourself? Aren’t...

The greatest fad in the financial sector these days is 'financial inclusion' with almost everybody talking about it — be it in seminars, press conferences, articles in newspapers and magazines, research papers, television debates, parliament, and whenever there is some time for other things beyond scam discussions. Financial institutions are the catalyst in the economic development and progress in the modern era....

Arvind Kejriwal, as we know, is a former civil servant, leading the ‘Common Man Movement’ i.e. the newly formed ‘Aam Aadmi Party’, which has been greeted by all with curiosity and skepticism. Kejriwal turned down Rs. 50 crore because it wasn’t clean money, he says. Some months back, politicians wondered whether he would be able to create his influence on the politics...
