Liv’ED It is an ED original style where we write about our personal experiences on visiting and reviewing any place which gives us a feeling of coming back for more.
The world of technology is ever changing. Even the developers keep throwing us updates to their already popular apps. Abiding by that, Google recently launched its brand new instant messaging...
Manchester United dragged themselves to a sloppy victory as they overcame a feisty Zorya side to win 1 - 0 in a dull Europa League fixture.
The match started brilliantly for Manchester United as they looked to pile on early pressure on their minnow opponents.
Chances fell to almosy all the 10 outfield players, with Paul Pogba at the heart of...
Unnecessarily dragging artistes into the critical Indo-Pak politics after the Uri attack and surgical strike, the Indian Motion Picture Producer’s Association has banned Pakistani artists from working in Indian films, “IMPPA in their 87th annual general meeting passed (a resolution that) no Pakistani will be hired by their producer members forever,” producer TP Aggarwal, the president of IMPPA, said.
“The...
We all watch sci-fi movies and we'd be lying to ourselves if we said we never imagined ourselves in a fictional world of a different planet. If I said to you a little while ago that humans might actually be able to lead a life on Mars within our lifetimes you'd probably call me a lunatic.
But if Elon Musk...
Use of chemical weapons is a war crime, and sadly the Sudanese government has been raging a chemical war against its own citizens ever since January 2016 and has destroyed almost 171 villages.
The use of chemical weapons is not new to Sudan, who has been rebelling against its government ever since 2004. The situation had been brought to light...
Even if you have never been to Goa, you must know about the beach shacks in Goa. Beach shack or the temporary coconut-leaf thatched eateries is what comes to mind as soon as you think of Goa beaches. They are enormously popular with the hundreds of thousands of tourists.
While Goa has been known to be the “coolest” place in...
FlippED is one of ED’s exclusive content styles wherein two bloggers come together to share two different points of view about one common topic. A battle of wits and sarcasm, we see the two sides to one coin.
Don't you enjoy Celebrity Gossip? Ah, what if there were no more paparazzi on earth? *sigh* While the gossip culture is in no...
An American activist group, The Satanic Temple, has inaugurated and commenced operations at its international headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts on 23rd September. The activist group though ‘satanic’ does not justify its name through its work but is a classic example of how one must speak in the tongue of another, to ensure proper communication.

The organization is like...
We've been called millennials, the failed ones, the blip in the society, the Snapchat generation and what not?
But are we actually as bad as the society brands us to be or is this just another hoopla to cover the society's own fallacies and loopholes? We find out :
Social media and its itty-bitty (and titty, thanks to Kim Kardashian) nature...

When you think of the word “nerd” what’s the image that comes to your mind?
In popular media, a stereotypical nerd has very large glasses, braces, and severe acne. He will also be physically unfit, either overweight or skinny due to lack of physical activity.
Exhibit A: the 1984 movie Revenge of the Nerds. But that was more than three decades ago.

If it is possible for us to move over the news of India killing 38 terrorists and shutting up Pakistan for some time then on the other end of the globe continues a fight that “decides the fate of the world”.
Yes, it is the Presidential elections in the United States that are taking the world by storm.
On Monday was...
Policemen come under some of the most underrated individuals that work for the country. They are generally despised by the public, they work under whimsical politicians and are considered sub-military by the army. If only one of them is caught drunk by the security cameras, then their whole species are misjudged.
In a time where we are aspiring for smart...
Our Prime Minister is hell bent on giving us 'acche din'. While the introduction of new trains, with “world class” facilities has certainly helped his motive of the betterment of Indian Railways, they never fail to live up (rather, down) to our expectations.
A passenger of Shatabdi Express, travelling from Malda to Howrah, claimed that he found a spider in...
Children are the symbol of a carefree life. As annoying as they could sometimes be, their zeal and the vitality that they showcase provides happiness to everybody around them.
Could you imagine what a child goes through, when it is struggling to fight against such a deadly disease as cancer? No? Neither can I.
Every year around 1,75,000 children are diagnosed...
This section is Friendly Fridays, where we ask fun and weird questions to cool and famous personalities.
This week we have with us Sumukhi Suresh a.k.a Anu Aunty or Behti Naak.
Let's get this rolling:
ED: Hello Sumukhi, welcome to our section Friendly Fridays. To begin with, we would ask you a very generic question: Why Comedy?
Sumukhi: Why not! I am doing comedy...
The very idea of jewellery always invokes the image of a fashionable woman adorned with all things lustrous. Right? Not anymore. The winds have changed and brought in a generation of gentlemen who are perfectly comfortable with sporting jewellery. Even though society at large may not be so close to achieving gender equality just yet, the fashion scene is...
Barcelona were lucky to get a draw against a spirited Mönchengladbach side as Pique popped up with a late winning goal in a tight fixture.
The match was started by Mönchengladbach with plenty of intent as they had an 11-game winning streak in their home ground and it was Thorgan Hazard (Eden Hazard's younger brother) who was leading the attacking...

On Sunday, Markandey Katju published a post on Facebook, saying this:
This in turn, pulled the attention of Nitish Kumar, Chief Minister of Bihar, who found Mr. Katju's statements a grave insult towards the state.
And such was his slight, that Kumar and leaders from his party as well as some from the opposition have demanded that Katju be tried for...
We have heard about the concept of ‘wealth from waste’, and have probably used it ONLY during craft classes. However, here is EcoBling, an Australian organization that is working in Nepal to help uplift those affected by the 2015 earthquakes.
A Little Background
On April 25th, 2015, an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 hit about 48 miles to the northwest of...
The recent iPhone 7 launch has created a massive buzz around the world. India is one of those locations eagerly waiting for its own official release. But will that stop the 'jugaadu' Indians from finding a way to get their hands on it? I don't think I even need to answer that.
And what's the best place in Delhi for...

Okay, for some people that one hundred grand estimate will be ever so slightly too high. The point we want to make is that cars are expensive. So expensive in fact that it makes sense to look after them. If your car is destroyed, damaged or lost then you’ve lost a lot of money.
Sure the insurance will...
The recent Uri attack has triggered into many after effects with both the countries threatening each other of their military capability. Where India is shrewdly taking its step cautiously; pressurising and isolating Pakistan through its brilliance in foreign affairs, Pakistan is acting like an immature adolescent who whines for no reason and shows off his yet to achieve "manhood".
And...
Atletico Madrid proved their defensive prowess yet again as they grabbed a narrow 1 - 0 win against Bayern Munich even after Griezmann managed to miss a penalty.
The match started with a mild pace with both the teams looking to carve out chances but with patience. Atletico had a better opening and tried to spin out some opportunities in...
