Demystifier: If You Love Sleeping, Then We Need To Do Some Mattress Talk
Chirali Sharma -
Mattresses are like those neglected coconut bars in a candy bag, that no one ever really looks at. But if one tries them, they turn out to not just be good for your health, but also quite tasty.
Same way, people tend to spend more time on their pillow, bed sheets and cover-ups rather than giving attention to the main...
I have always detested the fact that why weren’t we taught about income taxes and related stuff in school. Why should I be a commerce student to learn it? I will need it in my life, no matter what.
Because as exciting as it is when you start earning, you also have to pay taxes. Who knows people don’t pay...
Steve Forbes revved up quite a dialogic storm when he point blank opined in his feature how demonetization in India was an immoral move. Harsh at the very worst, the judgment might have been a little too blunt.

It based the judgment on the fact that such an appeal would impact the secular foundation of the Constitution.

It’s Not About All Men Being Pigs, Or Women Being Sluts: Bengaluru Mass Molestation
Kanika Kalra -
During New Year's Eve celebrations on MG Road and Brigade Road in Bengaluru, a mob of drunken men harassed and molested numerous women present at the venue. The event has been termed a "mass molestation".
How weird does that sound? Sadly, terms like molestation and mass murder have become commonplace in the news, but mass molestation is proof that our...

Who Says Befikre Is Not Representing The Actual Indian Youth. I Think It Is… To An Extent
Chirali Sharma -
Okay guys wait, before you think this is going to be a blog saying how great a movie was Befikre, or how it was a pioneer for Bollywood, well… that won’t be so.
Having watched Befikre and been sad about how they took an otherwise fun and modern plot but still twisted it back to the same tried and tested...

Fiction is my preferred form of books when it comes to reading, somehow non-fiction have never truly interested me unless they come from a very trusted and credible source.
But the autobiography by R.K. Somany 'Bringing The Rainbow- The Hindware Story' is one I am glad to have given a read to and believe it could be a really good...

Going to a restaurant is one of the most common past-times of ours.
Whether it be with friends, family or even a work related thing, restaurants offer that balanced environment where you can find everything, good food (well… occasionally) , spend time with the other people, and just have a good time in general.
But the frustration and bulging eyes come...
The New Year has kicked off wonderfully with a new season of BBC Sherlock and, true to its reputation, the show has once again sent viewers into fits of frenzied speculation.
The third season aired three years ago, and although we got a Christmas special in between, we didn’t really see any significant plot development in The Abominable Bride. Therefore,...
