“What drove you?
“Hate.”
Wow. That was one fine hour (almost) of television. After last week’s largely transitioning episode, Game of Thrones follows it up with much of the same, except with a bit more focused storytelling and one huge reveal (Which I saw a long time ago, FYI). This is Game of Thrones à la the best of seasons...
QuoraED! This is when we pick up a trending or interesting thread from Quora and spin a story around it.
From “Joey doesn’t share food” to Monica’s “I know”, everybody knows what were it like in the territory of FRIENDS. An era where there were no smart phones, they made us laugh and cry, sometimes both at the same time.
Let...
When I opted for the course that I always wanted to pursue: a major in Literature or English Honours, I merely thought of it as Shakespeare, novels, and poetry. Everything in this sphere enticed me, but little did I know that my perception and understanding of the subject was not only stereotypical, but also just a very small spectrum...
British forces are blasting (pun intended) Bollywood music as a weapon against Islamic State (ISIS) forces stationed in Libya.
I agree that Bollywood music today isn't the best and one or two songs would leave anyone on the brink of suicide.
But jokes aside, to think that killing machines like the ISIS would get distracted so easily by songs is amusing...
Trash It, Trend It : Even though we all follow the news (I hope we do), sometimes we are not able to recollect an incident a few days after it has made the headlines. But no worries, I am going to summarize for you, all of this week’s major talking points, whether they are good (Trend It) or bad (Trash...
" You are 18! You have to be doing stuff on your own!" This is what I get when I ask my mother for a favour. But when it comes to me living independently... "Nope, you are too naïve, kid."
Not that I am being specific, but this is what the normal Indian household mind set is like. 18 year...
Gone are the days when man threw a javelin or a discus. With the increasing technological frustration, a time has come that the most overused and possessed equipment, the mobile phone, is thrown – not out of our lives, but just as a SPORT!
The Mobile Phone Throwing CHAMPIONSHIP is the brainchild of a translation and interpretation company, Fennolingua in...
24 teams.554 players.15th edition of the highest pride of international men’s football in Europe. Just look at the 24 teams and I am sure you won’t be able to pick a single favorite or a dark horse. France will open U.E.F.A. Euro 2016 against Romania in St-Denis on 10 June while Spain start their defense versus the Czech Republic...
Money is something that we can’t afford to take for granted. Even though many of us might not consider it one of the most important aspects of life, underestimating its effects can be highly dangerous.
There are all kinds of disasters and crises that can severely affect not only your finances but your ability to get more. From how you...
With over 24 people losing their lives (including SP, Mukul Diwedi and SHO, Santosh Yadav) and 368 people getting arrested, the Indian city of Mathura is witnessing serious violence. Clashes broke out when police were trying to evict illegal occupants of a land in Jawahar Bagh by activists, believed to be of Azad Bharat Vidhik Vaicharik Kranti Satyagrahi, on...
“If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.”
What if I tell you, once there was a 12 years boy who lost his priced possession; his beloved bicycle. He was so sad that he vowed to pummel the culprit. The officer (Joe Martin, who was also a boxing trainer) while reporting the theft suggested that...
Everyone seems to be talking about the UEFA Euro Championship or the Rio Olympics but I have hardly seen anyone discuss The Copa America, South America’s premier football tournament. The lack of people’s interest in the tournament was evident by the fact that many of my friends were surprised when they heard it was happening this year.
I bet even...

Stereotypes exist. No point denying it. Be as open minded and metro personality you can be, you’ll still find yourself forming some opinions purely on the basis on what you saw or heard, in a second, without any research involved. You simultaneously search for an outfit on 3 different sites. A little review never hurt anybody. Applicable...
Rahul Baba, according to reports, is finally all set to take charge of the post of the President of the Congress Party.
*tears in my eyes* (Of laughter)
He will indeed fulfil all the dreams and expectations of people who have hopes pinned on him. The happiest to hear this, apart from me, is the BJP because finally their dream of...
It is not much of a big deal to show my bitch face in the real world. Unfortunately, I can't do the same on any of the social media platform.. It is either ‘rude’ or some others are like, “Kya hua?”
But here's Unicode 9.0 to the rescue! It has been announced that 72 more emojis are to be added...
Vacations are here! And so is boredom. All of us wait for our semester breaks like crazy but ultimately, we end up cursing them because, “Oh! I am so bored. I want to get back to college.” Here are few crazy things you can try out this vacation and probably procrastinate saying that you are bored.
Make a LEGO iron...
Indians : The prime connoisseurs of the tradition of aping the western culture and doing a real bad job at it. We have a habit of taking things a bit too far. Okay, let me rephrase that to “WAYYYY TOOOO FAAAR”. And history doesn’t lie, you know. America gave us Eminem, our response was Baba Sehgal. America made Avatar...
Edwards Deming once said, "In God we trust, all others must bring data". Indeed, the economy of data is here. The amount of data generated by humans every day is enormous. More data was generated in the last five years than in the entire history of our civilisation. And this was possible because of the massive advent in computing...
Do you believe in rebirth? Are you among those who believe that part of a man’s soul lingers after death or those who shrug off such beliefs as ridiculous and stupid? You may be a skeptic but the truth is that more than 50% of the world’s population believes in some form of reincarnation. In fact rebirth is a...
So, let’s talk a little below the belt today, shall we? Do you wear underwear that is “Made In China”? Well, if you do, chances are that they come from Gurao, a small town in Southeastern China.
Underwear Capital
Gurao, if you haven’t heard of it, is the “Town of Underwear”. Its factories produce more than 350 million bras and 430...
Contraception has been deemed as a way to enjoy sex, but a lot of regressive radicals still believe that sex should be used only for procreation and not for pleasure.
Leading this list of orthodox thinkers is Turkey’s President Recep Tuyyip Erdogan, who in his speech, in Istanbul, said that no Muslim family should engage in birth control or family...
We all love mobiles. Imagine that you have 10 Iphones which aren’t of any use to you. What do you do? You go to a mobile store to showcase all of them. The store owner isn’t buying as he already has over stocking. To showcase all of them in his store, he asks you to give 50% of the...
Every so often a news story will come along that claims that technology is harming children. Usually, it's a front to push yet more legislation through. But every now and again, the warnings are worth listening to.
Perhaps the biggest concern that most people have right now is that apps are harming children's health. How many times have you...
Bordeaux has just done a huge favour to its title of 'wine capital of the world' with the inauguration of its first wine theme park, La Cité du Vin, which directly translates to 'the city of wine'.
Growing up with frequent visits to Adventure island and Worlds of wonder (sighs with disappointment), a theme park based on alcohol with a...
