A trend comes in, goes viral and exactly when it seems to be a forever fashion trend, it disappears. Years later, that same trend comes back. Or rather, comes back with a Bang and the fashion industry falls for it. Again! This, my friend, is the story of almost every vogue that ever existed. It might appear to be extinct,...
Roshesh's Poems:I am writing two out of the numerous weirdly funny poems written by the momma’s boy: a)momma ka purse jaise hospital ki pyari koi nurse usmain rakha napkin karta hai paseene ka ilaaj aur lipstick jaise hoton ka anaj b) momma o momma tumne mujhe janam dia itna bada karam kia... Roshesh has a great deal of funny poems which Maya believes are out of...
Our country loves controversies. Especially if it’s a political hungama. First it was BJP vs Congress, then it was Modi’s marital status and now its Smriti Irani’s (the new HRD minister) educational qualifications. SERIOUSLY? How low can we stoop just to fill ourselves with entertainment?   She’s a woman, she’s young. Just give her a chance. Why do we have the...
College. These are basically the three most important years of our life when we are most likely to start dating for real, decide what we really want in our life and whether we want to have a comfortable, stable lifestyle or a crappy one. But the bigger question is how one is supposed to enjoy college life without guys....
Have you noticed the open garbage dumping grounds, or people( i.e. men) peeing along walls, or that slight little teeny-tiny hand peeping out of a car window and hurriedly throwing a water bottle or a chips packet out on the road? Well, I have and frankly its shameful that how when it comes to cussing the government the people have...
Browsing the internet, I came across some advertisements. It captured my curiosity and i scrolled further. I was shocked to see loads and loads of  advertisements derogatory to women. These were sexist and downright offensive. What is the point of showing bikini clad girls running on a beach for an aftershave advertisement? Or girls going ga-ga over the new...
The Monaco Grand Prix is held each year at the Circuit de Monaco.

  " It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. " -Leo Tolstoy   You may have known the oft-repeated fact about how babies tend to stare longer at good-looking faces. What is lesser known are a string of researches that prove a bias in favor of attractive faces while hiring for jobs and the greater likelihood of attractive...
Beyond dusty construction sites of Gurgaon, and flanked by the tall glass buildings of Cyber City, there lies a paradise for foodies that goes by the name of DLF Cyber Hub. It holds the same degree of reverence in the hearts of foodies and employees of the nearby offices, as ‘The 3 Broomsticks’ did when it came to the...
This era belongs to the social networks. We are indeed the social generation. Whatsapp and facebook are an integral part of our life today. The corporate world is no different. Although Facebook is equipped with variety of features to facilitate corporate networking, there is no denying that it is loaded with far too much from everything to everything. Thus,...
Last night I was watching a hit flick from the glorious 70s- “Doosra Admi”. It is a story of a young couple in their 20s who have a misunderstanding because the guy gets involved with his middle aged secretary. Rakhee (our very own “Mere Karan Arjun aeyenge” crooning Ma) plays the role of the glamorous secretary. In the movie...
  Emma Watson graduated this year, and so did the batch of 2011-2014 of Delhi University. For an “outsider”, who had not exactly been fond of the city for the last three years, and found the ways of the city too wayward and disorienting at first, the end of the final paper of the last semester signaled the end of something...
  Sonny with a chance: TV series aired for 2 years from 2009 to 2011 on Disney channel. Starring Demi Lovato and Sterling Knight besides others, revolved around Demi Lovato being selected as a cast member in her favourite comedy show called “So Random”. The theme song “So Far, So Great” is a peppy song sung by the leading lady...
Garbage Bin, a comic strip started in 2011 by Faizal Mohd gives us back our childhood. Right from the exam troubles, to playing pranks on unsuspecting beings with our impish friends, to mummy ka paranthas and pyaar, it's truly a walk down memory lane. But when we do walk down memory lane, doesn't Garbage Bin remind us of something...
How do you know what is trending these days? Social Networking.  All things from fashion to books, from TV series to movies, even phrases and trends in ideology can be identified on social networking sites.  One trending ideology which is dying a painful death on such websites is Feminism.

A library is the most lively place on earth. I know I know, most of you are thinking, what the heck am I talking about! Just, hear me out first. A library is, at first glance, a place where quite and silence rule, and the withering glance of a librarian can turn you into the meekest of mouse. But, it's...
What if the world that we live in is not real? What if we are inside someone’s head…a part of some grand imagination? What if all that we go through every day, all that we have ever achieved, all that we see, feel and hear isn’t real? What if we are not who we think we are? What if...
If you go through the following list of songs you'll see that almost all the lyricist at various times have followed a method. The method of repeating the first word immediately to give the song a kind of melody and rhythm. This has worked very well with the audience and is thus still being used.  Listen to these wonderfully...
I would like to analyze the contribution of gender towards the  global trends of inequality. Let’s talk about gender, income and wealth. Let me make it very clear since the beginning that women continue to be discriminated against in different parts of the world. Before starting,  one of the questions that we need to ask ourselves is that, is their any...
Privacy And Personal Space: if you know how it is to be sharing a room with two or three people, you will know how it feels to have your privacy get invaded. When you have to talk on the phone (especially to your boyfriend or girlfriend) it becomes an extremely secretive process. And when you have to discuss uncomfortable...
Garmi And Dhoop: waiting for your train while standing at the railway station is already annoying and this multiplies if the sun is shining right over your head. High temperature makes you sweat alot more than you normally do, plus your hand luggage or your bag pack weights about 3 kg’s more than it actually does. This is what...
The very fundamental theory in time travel i.e. Chaos theory also widely known as the butterfly effect has been reused. But this time the ones who make use of it are none other than the X-men. It is a post-apocalyptic future, where only a handful of mutants survive and struggle to exist. That one small event in the past...
