Taking the India story forward, Finance Bill 2015-16 presented in the Parliament this morning was more than just satisfying. Mr. Arun Jaitley, presenting the first full budget of the BJP led Central Government, made sure that the future projections of country’s financials...

After AAP almost literally swept the elections in the capital, it’s now time to examine what their victory truly means to all Delhiites. The AAP manifesto which was issued for the 2015 Delhi elections, made 70 promises in a bid to stitch up an unusual coalition of support from the rich, middle class and the poor. AAP promises us...
From a certain Gandhi making ‘Women empowerment’ a household phrase, to Patricia Arquette’s inspiring, powerful speech at the Oscar’s, ALL of us are well aware of the pressing nature of Gender equality. Gender equality implying that all genders are equal in all aspects.
Just as a modern women have no hand in the perpetuation of stereotypes that plague their daily...
It is scary but today water has been observed to be leaving oil behind to be the world's scarcest critical resource. Of the total water supply on the planet only 2.5% constitute fresh water, most of it is locked under the glaciers. The world’s water consumption has increased almost two times as much as the increase in the population.

It is evident from the title that the underlying theme of the movie is about revenge and forgiveness. It is also about insanity, depression, sexism, and Nawazuddin Siddique.
Varun Dhawan plays a young market salesman Raghu whose wife and son are murdered in a robbery case in broad daylight. The murderer is Laik (Nawazuddin Siddique), and he gets caught, whereas...
When you think “Maratha Mandir”, DDLJ automatically comes to your mind. It’s like yin and yang, you don’t think one without the other. Both DDLJ and Maratha Mandir are part and parcel of each other. A packaged deal you would say.
I am sure many of you have "Watch DDLJ at Maratha Mandir" in your bucket list. I myself have...
What’s the one thing that advances faster than you can pronounce its name ? Not Voldemort, it’s technology. In the age of Nokia and Motorola’s sturdy handsets, no one could imagine touch screens. Then Google changed the scenario with Android (launched in November 2007), that brought about the smartphone boom. In 7 short years, we’ve reached a point where...
A posse of policemen stood ready with truncheons in hand as last Saturday, a political group known as the ‘Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West,’ commonly known as PEGIDA, marched through the streets of Newcastle. The crowd, with banners of ‘Keine Islamisierung Europas’ or, ‘No Islamization of Europe sang, shouted and marched on wildly and, even though...
We have heard of online job recruitments. It is a growing and highly useful trend for new startups. However, the strange thing is the online recruitment going on right now is for the ISIS. On November 15, 2013, 19 year old Aqsa Mahmood bid her father farewell. It was a normal day for the family until they received a...
I remember the first time that my ears experienced the sweet sound of his music. I was around sixteen years old when I first listened to his music. And ‘Soothsayer’ was the first piece of music by him that I ever heard. I remember myself sitting right there, in front of my computer screen, waiting for the video to...
“Corporate governance is concerned with holding the balance between economic and social goals and between individual and communal goals. The governance framework is there to encourage the efficient use of resources and equally to require accountability for the stewardship of those resources. The aim is to align as nearly as possible the interests of individuals, corporations and society.”

“I may not agree with what you’ve said, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
-Voltaire
Sadly, only Voltaire thought so, ages back.
So, what now allows you and me and every citizen of India and most of the other countries as well, the right to speak our mind about the issues that concern us? Or at least...

She had also been crowned with the titles...
“It gives me immense pleasure to announce that the retrospective tax clause in the Income Tax Act 1956, stands removed with immediate effect.”
Ahh...what a start it will be to the budget speech scheduled to be delivered by Mr. Arun Jaitley tomorrow. India craves to experience a golden era ushering in waves after waves of global capital, technology and skilled...
In our childhood, we all heard ghost stories, stories of places where no one dared to go. Books often recited the poems of towns whose population got vanished within a night without any trace. History hasn't always been accurate in answering 'Why'. The remains of such places still haunt the face of this earth, Ghost towns, as these places are called now....
Walking down the street now-a-days gives us scenes with heads tilted down and fingers occupied. Everyone is busy with their smartphones. Companies endorse about their smooth capacitive touchscreens and GUI designed for hassle free use. But one of the biggest frustrations for the disabled community is the technology being inept for them to use it.
But now, here comes the...
For a layman logistics would mean anything related to computer or to keep everything ready for the smooth running of activities and events. Both of these cannot be termed wrong. Logistics can be used in both ways according to the use. However, here we are discussing logistics in a different way. Logistics refers to the maintenance of belongings one...
We have a lot of problems in this country, and this law is building up a major one too. Most of you must already know the general idea behind the very scandalized Article 377, but there’s a lot more to it than what one gets to know in the first glance.
First of all, this is what the legal texts say,...
How many times, in India or Pakistan, a cricket match between the countries is considered a cricket match between the countries?
Not even a single time.
Take that point in time when the schedule of a match between these neighbouring countries is announced, and then conclude at when the results are declared, and you would realize what excitement and zeal mean...
This morning, the Internet broke over a dress. Yes, a dress and no, a celebrity did not wear it. So what was such a big deal then?
A girl took a photo of a dress and posted it online. Following which, a debate broke out over the colour of the dress.
Team blue and black: “Hey, how do you like this dress?”
Team...
A note of clarification to all those who understand the reference in the title : in no way am I insinuating that Mr. Rahul Gandhi and Ms. Amy Dunne share similar ‘brain matter’ traits. And I doubt any of us will be going around organizing search parties to find out where he’s disappeared off to.
This choomantar trick, is an...

We all have grown up reading stories of Robin hood- how he defied the law, robbed the rich and cared for the poor. We all have seen Zorro, Batman and various other vigilantes fighting for what they seem right. We saw and we idolised them....
More than six decades ago, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was shot down in cold blood. The nation sobbed. The world was shocked.
Since Gandhi’s time, there have been many men and women who have tried to mobilize the nation’s human wealth. Some of them were successful, too; but none had even close to the impact that the Mahatma did. None except...
