Back in Time to November 1621: First Thanksgiving Is Celebrated In America
Back in Time is ED’s newspaper type column that reports an incident from the past as though it has happened just yesterday. It allows the reader to re-live it several years later, on the date it had occurred.
For this incident, we go back in time to 1621 where...
If you love being put to sleep then this Netflix inspired website is an absolute match for you. Napflix- a video platform, curates some of the dullest and most boring content online, to help you relax and doze off peacefully.
Napflix is the brainchild of two Spaniards Victor de Tena and Francesc Bonet. When asked about how they came up...
Akshay Kumar is apparently at a hot streak right now what with him giving some really great films liken Airlift and Rustom recently. Both the films have had a very serious atmosphere and focused on some very important incidents that India has gone through.

MCU, or the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become one of the highest-earning movie franchises of all time. Be it their focus on amazing CGI or lighthearted yet equally intense superhero characters, the series has gone on to give us some of the most spectacular movies in the past 8 years.
What builds their command on the top spot every time...
Oh Maneka Gandhi, when will you learn?
As much as Maneka Gandhi seems to do for the animals and a person whom I used to look up to, it is quickly becoming apparent to me that she might not be the brightest bulb out there.
Confused as to what even am I talking about?
Well recently, at a women's journalist workshop, Gandhi...

500 ka nahi chalega, khulle do!!
We all are aware of such lines now. Its been lika a "Mantra" now for us. Did we ever think that a "pink patti" of 1000 which 'was' a proud gift for a sister or a life saviour for many of us is no more of use now.
The demonetization of currency...
Out of all the demonetisation stories you've heard, this might be the most bizarre.
Midst the growing startup culture in India, someone has used his/her mind in the craziest way to come up with something as cool as this!
Ladies and gentlemen, hold your breath and welcome the coolest of cools among startups. Your very own company, it is..
*drumrolls*

That's...
A while back we wrote on how Facebook is spreading misinformation either intentionally or unintentionally and the whole concept of keyboard heroism.
The recent news of how Facebook might have played a big role in the win of President-elect Donald Trump has shaken not just the world but brought forth the major issues that media is dealing with these days...
Liv’ED 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.
This time, we narrate our experience at the Indian International Trade Fair (IITF), 2016.
The Trade Fair is something a large number of people of Delhi look forward to. Apart from being...
Aahhh… the wonderful wonderful paparazzi. The one source of joy in many millions of people, who bring their favourite stars to their level or even below it by putting out incriminating and even embarrassing moments to the mass public.
We hate them, but we also love the small little glimpses into the life of our favourite celebrity and we especially...
This is Deca
Chances are you haven’t heard of this dude before. Matter of fact, you didn’t know if this was a dude or a lady. That’s understandable, there are just so many good artists out there right now. Now if the Billboard Top 40 is the only thing you jam to, then you definitely missed out on Deca.
A bit...
There has been something which has been bothering me for quite some time and after hearing the latest news by DU and how it plans to go digital after the success of its Campus of Open Learning (COL), has been brought to the forefront.
Ok, so let me lay down the actual news which prompted me having to pen down...
Warner Bros.' Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, scripted by J. K. Rowling and directed by David Yates, is like a door between adolescence and adulthood for Harry Potter fans.
It takes the world-building from a narrower school backdrop to a much vast Wizarding World, complete with adult characters living in an adult world with adult problems. Yet, a...
Week 2 of demonetization was none the happier than the first count. While people in India were metaphorically discovering hidden stairways to heaven via their banks and ATMs (55 people a lil too literally), the world didn't fail to enjoy their staple dose of the bizarre.
Here are some highlights from the news this week that went by!

Bollywood has always had the nasty habit of 'taking inspiration' if you must say, from Hollywood.
Now this inspiration is nothing more than literally taking the entire concept, script, and everything in between, putting just the slight bit of Indian masala on it and then releasing it.
Since the past decade or so, Indians which include critics and audicne alike, have...
The day Narendra Modi announced that 500 and 1000 rupee paper notes will no more be in circulation, the country went into a whirlwind. It’s been about 10 or more so days since the process started and while there have been some disappointing events other stories have inspired the nation. We bring to you a brief run down of what...
On Tuesday, 15th November, Twitter announced that the social media platform will be introducing new features as well as policy changes in response to the ever growing cyber bullying problem.
With the advent of the digital age, we got instant communication, data storage and retrieval, and shared information. But, along with the creation of this global village came a side-effect...
The Delhi University or as we all so lovingly call it has just brought up another problem.
I swear this university has more problems than anything I have ever seen.
The latest news is that 900 teaching positions and permanent at that are lying vacant, yup, just lying there like sad little jobs with no one taking them up.
Yes my friends, the...
WWE established itself as the top rated sports entertainment brand in the world and continued its reign for decades. But since the last few years, the excitement for WWE and its gimmicks has faded away.
Redundant concepts, "family-safe" shows, lack of iconic superstars or just a shift in the fan-base?
What caused this change? Let's take a look for the when,...
Beauty and the Beast. That is all that I have heard about for the past few days now. And frankly, I am not as happy as I had hoped to be and seeing everyone else jump around in joy is getting on my nerves.
Ok, let me explain a bit that sure, the story of Beauty and The Beast has...
Back in Time is ED’s newspaper-like column that reports an incident from the past as though it has happened just yesterday. It allows the reader to re-live it several years later, on the date it had occurred.
16th November, 1938: Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman has successfully synthesized an unusually interesting ergot alkaloid at the Sandoz laboratory that might prove to be...
LeBron James has all but cemented his place as one of the all-time greats in the NBA history. Comparisons to Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson are nothing new to him but "King" James is unfazed of the hype and delivering for his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers time and again.
But we're not here to talk about IF he should be...
The premise of this article might look almost self-defeating- how can a blogger on social media question the very influence of social media? Am I not, from my very first word, indulging in keyboard heroism even if I am critiquing it?
Let’s leave this question to hang out in the open for a while here because I don’t intend to...
GTBIT, or Guru Tegh Bahadur Institute of Technology has developed a rather controversial and mysterious image in the past few months. The media hasn't allowed the college to breathe and the reputation of the college has been put to stake.
But is the situation really all that bad with the college? Or have rumors spread like wildfire to an extent...
My journey with this bizarre machine called computer began in the early 2000s. I believe I was one of those guys in 1st standard who had a computer at home.
16 years of my life I have used a Windows Operating System. SIXTEEN YEARS. Beginning from discontinued Windows 98 to the free update of Windows 10.
Recently, I switched to Mac...
