Elections are upon us and its hard to not get drawn into a discussion over one's preferred prime ministerial candidate. Everybody is busy deciding and debating the pros and cons of the major parties manifestos and tearing down the ruling alliance UPA's defenses. However, while economic development has emerged as the contentious issue that will decide NaMo and RaGa's...

*This is a work of fiction. Any student, who gets inspired by reading this, should try not to indulge in such faraway ideas. Simply, because in a country and society like ours, dirty politics and cheap tactics exist*
Being the Prime Minister of a country. WOW! Awe, respect and power. The image of a Prime Minister always conjures in the...
Honey Singh, The Gunday Star-Cast, Singers Papon, Arijit Singh, Neeraj Shridhar and many, many more such Bollywood entities swarmed into the national capital this spring. Why? You ask… well, isn't it obvious? It’s that time of the year when Delhi University and various other colleges spend their big sponsorship amounts on entertaining students with these star-studded attractions solely to...
India has been majorly hit by corruption charges in various sectors and scams involving tons of crores. Filling pockets of some and depriving others of it, such has been the work of the country's political and economic functionaries. Here are some of the 'popular' ones, though this list is in no way exhaustive, merely indicative.
Coal Block allocation: Popularly called...
The Four Year Undergraduate Program- four words capable of luring out anger and the bitterest cynicism out of any first year Delhi University student. From some admittedly creative abbreviations like “F***ing Youth Under Projects” to wall graffitis and even the nowadays oh-so-common Dharnas, FYUP has been spared of no medium of criticism. With the first year of FYUP almost...

As if the time zones and the world fighting wars over boundaries wasn't enough, we now have these ghastly and often heart-wrenching areas called FRIEND zones!
Its like being stuck between a nucleur blast and a black hole. End is certain.
What's even more bothering is that often we have no idea which end of the rope we are...
In the past few days, two of my beloved and favorite television series have come to an end, How I Met Your Mother and Raising Hope. Although HIMYM was, in terms of popularity and time-frame, higher on my list than Raising Hope, both of these series were close to me, and the finale of each was much awaited.
First off, I...

RAP. No its not what Eminem and Honey Singh do. Its what Miss Rakhi Sawant, the item girl of our very own Bollywood is doing these days. Yes. Its true. Bad girl has indeed gone political with her brand new “Rashtriya Aam Party”. Its commendable how she hardly ever stays out of the news. After numerous publicity...

Elections. This is one word that has somehow managed to come up each day that has gone by, whether it’s the newspapers, casual discussions with friends, family or teachers. It is everywhere. And of course, the trend will follow.
Every day the politicians have something interesting to say or do. These elections have even forced the usually humble Rahul...
Phailin, Helen, Lehar, Nina, Katrina and more are some of the names of cyclones we have heard of. I am sure a lot of us would have wondered how and why they are given these names.
Well, the practice of naming cyclones started years back. With the purpose to ease the communication between the forecasters and general public, cyclones are...
Oh the slogans, the publicity and the raging popularity. Narendra Modi has become a little bit of a stalker. His campaigning doesn’t seem to leave you even in metros. Every way you turn your head, voila! It’s Narendra Modi. And the slogans. WOW. They’ve become somewhat of a fashion statement. It’s crazy but at the same time it’s working....
Captain Steven Rogers A.K.A Captain America is back in action. Well this time its high stakes extremity you should expect. Fast paced action sequences, mind blowing twists and unbelievable cinematography is something interestingly noticeable in the film. With the winter soldier being a villain who has been groomed in the same manner as the cap (yes that’s what they...
The Bahrain Grand Prix is scheduled for the 6th of April. It is the third race of the 2014 season. It's going to be broadcast on Star Sports at 8:30, yes it is going to clash with the cricket T20 world cup final. I strongly suggest you call dibs on your television sets asap.
The first race in the country...
The upcoming general elections are going to be the toughest that will be contested in the last 65 years of our independence as a republic. No stone is being left unturned by any political entity to steal the show this time. The best part is that every single citizen in keenly interested in whats going to happen over the...

Let us talk about the counterpart ‘BOLLYWOOD’. Politics and Bollywood are two things that never go out of the repartee circuit. The two complete the gossip columns of Page...
Dear present/ future love interest of my life
I am a typical girl in love. Any act I do to shirk off that image like pretending to love action movies, starting a conversation about how well Dhoni played, smiling upon seeing a picture of you with your ex, acting cool after seeing the “online” status on whatsapp and no texts...
Here’s presenting you a list of a few things you should never ever ever ever (Arnab Goswami style) say to your Ex.
1) I Love You: these three words have the power to make or break your relationship. Save these words for someone other than your Ex-lover. Give yourself another chance to go out and look for your other half,...
The Aam Aadmi Party's manifesto for the 2014 general election is akin to a tossed salad with a new dressing i.e. while it has a few predictable ingredients, the novelty lies in its stark ideas.
The 2014 manifesto is similar to the 2013 Delhi assembly election manifesto in that it focuses on ending corruption and decentralising political power by passing...
The one consistent trend this week has been the bitter cold. More style-oriented trends began to emerge as designers paraded out collections for Fall/Winter. There are some early indications that cowgirl chic might be huge next fall. In fashion industry, that trend (fortunately) never materialized. But others emerged, such as the deconstructed boot, which is heard to be coming...

The elections are just around the corner, and the enthusiasm can be felt everywhere, be it advertisement on TVs to random surveys in colleges. At this time, it becomes imperative to evaluate the legitimacy behind this ‘Modi Wave’ before we cast our precious votes. Will ‘Abki baar, modi sarkar’ actually do anything? Let’s see it from an...
