The God of Cricket, the living legend, master blaster are a few words to describe a personality named Mr Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. There has not been a single Indian, who has not loved this man from the core of their hearts. He is one of those wonders, which India has to its account. Brain Lara called him 'Cricketer of...
Why is being alone once in a while so bad? Why do we always complain about not having enough people around? I mean haven’t we all feared the deadly loneliness hovering us if, say, we break up or when our friends are not around or when our families have to go on an outing etc.? But what is the...
How many times have you found yourself in a situation where you had to do things despite your own will or desire in order to please somebody or to sustain a relationship or even to prevent somebody from being hurt?
What actually happens through all this?
We give away a part of our own happiness just for the sake of the...
You wake up and the constant nagging of your mother begins. Tidy up your room! Don’t sit in front of the TV! You’re good for nothing! is all you hear.
I am sure most of us face this. And well you just sit and ponder about why the hell should I do all of this in my vacations? Why on...
1. It’s the best feeling when you adopt, not buy, but adopt a pet. Adopting a pet mean that you are not buying him/her based on their breed or pedigree, you are not getting the pet for status or show-off. You are getting them, because you want to give the animal a good and better life, a loving home,...
I’ll admit it. I love celebrity gossip. In fact, it’s one of my guilty pleasures. When I was reading through news stories this morning, even I had to face the brutal truth: the paparazzi has gone too far to get a story.
I read two different articles online about a “journalist” (yes, they want to be called “journalists”, not the...
After the deadly Isla Vista attack by a man that used social network sites (including YouTube) to announce his manifesto to kill women for rejecting him, the good side of Social Media fought back…with a simplistic hashtag: #YesAllWomen. Elliot Rodger carried out his brutal plans. He killed six and wounded thirteen, prior to his own death that rocked the...
7 Stages of taking money from elder relatives
Original Author- Team Orange
In Indian culture, many a times, elder relatives give their nieces / nephews / younger relatives money as a blessing. Which, honestly, is quite cool. But it’s the whole process of give and take which isn’t so easy always. Receivers are supposed to say no, act like they don’t...
Wedding has always been an important affair in our country but the states, which are just famous for their culturally rich weddings, are Punjab and Rajasthan. They don’t just spend too much but make it really fat and big. The Punjabis have always been a synonym for fun, frolic, and vivaciousness. They know how to celebrate and what else...
I am one of those boring old fashioned souls who never seem to have a taste for popular music and this holds especially true for Bollywood tracks. I simply cannot fathom my head around the senseless lyrics and the soulless music. It all seems the same and none of the chart busters last longer than a year on my...
The recent Smriti Irani row just took me back to my class 8 Social Studies textbook. The book said that there is “no minimum educational qualification required to contest an election.” I mean how astonishing is the fact that you need to clear the toughest exam of UPSC to govern a single city and that too with some limited...
We all, sometime in our lives, have dreamt of graduating from high school and moving into the most amazing college in the world. College days are all about friends, fun, happiness, learning lessons or I should say 'a new life' altogether. However, it is awfully sad when you move a step further in life leaving behind your college days....

I have tried my best...
25th May, 2014 was a sad day indeed, as far as Indian Motoring history is concerned. Production of the Hindustan Ambassador has been stopped. The King of Indian roads as it is fondly know, started its life a Morris Oxford in 1956. It was produced in India under license on behalf of Morris Motors. Despite it's British origins, it...
The all new Toyota Corolla has been launched in India on the 27th of May. Prices have been announced. 10 variants in 7 colours are on offer. 6 variants in petrol (2 automatic) and 4 in diesel. It's been a couple months since the previous model went off the market to make way for its replacement. Toyota badly needed...
Now, before you all come at me with pitchforks and knives, saying how dare I compare Game of Thrones to Mahabharata... just listen to me. I am a fan of both Mahabharata and Game of Thrones. Really. Big Fan. Me.
So, I know that if we come down to it, then these two shows are very different, one is the...
She sat with her eyes glued to his every move, completely aware of nothing else around her because all that mattered was whether he could make it across that canyon. She could almost hear his heart beating faster and faster as his deep blue eyes widened with the realisation of the enemy's approach. The horses got closer and closer....
From the track record of recent HRD ministers, it is clear that academic qualifications have nothing to do with performance
Article by Sandipan Deb
Smriti Irani, a college dropout, is India’s new human resource development minister. The appointment has got a sneering tweet from former United Progressive Alliance (UPA) minister Ajay Maken. Joining him in this scorn attack is activist-journalist Madhu...
While talking to my 8 year old niece the other day, I realized how time has changed so drastically. Just 10 years younger to me and yet that Tommy clad girl seemed a century ahead. With more shoes in her closet than I ever owned, she is aware about every brand she wears. And that too not vaguely but...
When Maya Angelou was 16 she became not only the first black streetcar conductor in San Francisco but the first woman conductor. By the time she was 40 she had also been, in no particular order, a cook, a waitress, a madam, a prostitute, a dancer, an actress, a playwright, an editor at an English-language newspaper in Egypt, and...
The Board Exams are going on and soon enough, the results will be out too! A new phase of life will begin. New places to study at, new people to meet, new friendships and new targets to meet! But, our very dear Indian Ma hasn’t changed since times immemorial. She still thinks the “nalaayak putt” could have scored a...
Out of the hundred things seriously wrong with this generation, sleeping habits is one. We all boast about being in love with sleep. Yet, no matter how early we make it to our beds, our eyes don’t shut until the clock strikes 1 or 2. For some really talented teenagers, the time the eyes finally give up is even...
A bucket list.
This term 'bucket list' was originated from the 2007 film 'Bucket List' starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Although till yet, the origin of this term is undetermined, it is said to come from the phrase 'kick the bucket' which mean, well, to die. The bucket list is a list of the things a person wants to...

This site gets the majority of its views from all of the jaded 20-somethings out there looking for where we’re even supposed to go next. We’re surrounded by all of these success stories of our peers and that becomes what our parents, our friends, and society starts to expect from us. On the other hand...
Once a chaiwala, now a prime minister. All of us know the story of this great man. He finally takes the oath to serve the ‘entire’ country for five years. I cannot assure you about others but yes, many young voters like me must have stuck to their television sets on 26th to just see him getting a position...
