Another drama  coming from the house of Balaji Telefilms tops the  TRPs again. A complete family entertainer but with a new tadka. ‘Ye Hai Mohabattein’ might have got all the typical Ekta Kapoor’s show’s elements but certain features make it stand alone in the league.

1997. When great was not good enough, whether you ‘Yahoo-ed’ it or not wasn’t sufficient anymore and ‘thinking different’ became clichéd, Google was brought into the world. A small start-up search engine, initiated by two Stanford PhD students, slowly crept its way into our lives and took over the world as one of the top 5 companies. (Courtesy: Forbes...
We rely upon music for so many purposes- to even out our disillusioned, blue mood, to pump up our spirits and our energy, to pass that long train/bus ride or to simply relax after a long day. It is only natural that we need different playlists to suit the occasion. Here are the five absolute must playlists that every...
The Mahabharata happens to the greatest epic in our country. It is story of Satyavati’s aspirations, Bheeshma’s sacrifice, Shakuni’s revenge, Duroyodhana’s pride,Karna’s struggle, Arjun’s courage, Draupadi’s insult and Krishna’s paheliyan. A tale of endless wrong decisions, innumerable adharmas and massive destruction. It has been thousands of years since the country witnessed an 18-day war, which almost ended everything, but...

Fashion historians and observers have always found a direct relation between fashion and the economy. They have gone on to make certain trends as economic indicators—the lipstick index, the rise and fall of hemlines, and most recently, the sale of men’s underwear if Warren Buffet is to be believed. Fashion has been a reaction or reflection of the times. Fashion...
‘Think before you speak’, my dadi used to tell me in my childhood. She would tell that words can hurt a person more than anything else can in this world. However, it seems pretty easy to use the weapon these days. You are doing the best you can do for your country but one day somebody questions and your...
In official terms a Prostitute is a woman who engages in sexual activities for money. Porn star, a female porn star refers to someone who acts in pornographic films. Basically women in both professions have sex for money (where obviously one gets it filmed). Then why is it that we treat prostitutes with a view of disgust and praise...
By Raavi Aggarwal The Indian subcontinent is a land of antithetical diversity in terms of culture, linguistics and economic disparity. Rich and poor households are thread together in a contiguous fashion even in the most urbane and cosmopolitan of cities like Delhi and Mumbai. In times of such rapid economic advancement, which policy measures will definitively ensure an increase in the...
By Ishita Sood Aim for the stars, even if you fall short you’ll reach the sky. And that’s where our skyscrapers have reached. They dominate our skylines and reflect our hopes and dreams- not to forget mentioning our egos also. “A supertall tower represents a meaningful step forward and is a symbol of success and optimism for the future” says...
Ever wondered why your dog gets up seconds before you? Stands there wagging his tail, droopiness in his eyes and then bolts towards you the moment you blink, just to slobber all over your face? Ever wondered why without seeing their cheerful face in the morning, your day just cannot begin? Or wondering how can such a cute little...

By Ishita Sood Well jokes apart, I am a good student. Seriously! That’s the truth. I am a good girl who follows all the classroom rules like keeping my phone on silent during the lecture. And I did the same during the last lecture this fore noon. And just like an obedient student I exited the class after the teacher...
Circa 2014, we came across this line in an AIB video: “Aap log hamesha time pe deliver karte ho, khana bhi deliver karenge, toh humari life sort ho jaayegi.” And THIS is exactly what is happening these days. Right from gourmet food items like Swiss cheese to the mundane moong dal to a pizza from Pizza Hut, everything is available at...
Being a human , might not be easy but being a youngster, definitely not easy. Going through all those mental, hormonal or physical changes gives rise to what we term as 'stress'. We youngsters might have ‘exam problem, pimple problem or pimple ke ziddi marks’ (:P) but there are other grave issues too which require our special attention....
4 years have passed since Delhi hosted 2010 Commonwealth Games but it is still fresh in minds of all Indians. The 19th edition of Games gave citizens of India joy and sadness at the same time.

Someone who gives you more time than he can afford: I read somewhere that the best gift you can give someone is your time because it is like giving a part of your life you cannot take back. Be gracious to your lover who finds time for you, never take him for granted. You may be on his priority...
Ragging is neither a ritual, nor a custom in campus life! It has become a criminal offence and has led to the ruin of many brilliant careers. Ragging originated in the west; the new students were subjected to simple and harmless teasing and mock interviews. Today it has deprecated into incessant torture of the innocent freshers by the senior...
A few months ago, I published a post on the most celebrated and annoying Bollywood clichés. Before anyone jumps to conclusions about my publishing yet another post on the very annoying and very jaded ways of Bollywood, let me say in my defence, that I find the Hindi movie industry hilarious in its stupidity, when I don't feel saddened by its...
Sweet Escape: it has been observed over the decades that shopping is associated with escaping from problems that one faces in life. Shopping for clothes or shoes or home essentials or cars or even gadgets provide respite from a stressful situation.  Who says that shopping to avoid problems is a permanent solution to all issues in life; on the...
With a lot of butterflies in our stomachs, we rushed to our colleges. My experience was simply amazing. Already running late, I rushed along with two of my other friends to college; bag, breakfast, register, everything in my hand. Initially boring, we all sat down introducing ourselves to each other. There were people from all over the country,...
