Gairsain is a small village in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Located in the Garhwal division, it is barely 30 kilometres from Kumaon.
You might wonder how this small, rural village located in some far away district has to do with the election in Uttarakhand?
For us Uttarakhandis, Gairsain was a promise that was never delivered. We have been waiting for...

The official trailer to Naam Shabana, the much-anticipated prequel to the 2015 sleeper hit ‘Baby’ is out and well frankly, it looks much better than I had thought it would be.
Bollywood might not be the best at everything, and for all its faults, that Bollywood copies stuff from Hollywood, is backwards and what not, but this time, I believe...
"First conviction for the crime of money laundering in India." Looks like India is growing in a lot of aspects. Another interesting thing in understanding the crime of money laundering is the concept of Hawala transactions.
Hawala in simple words is "trust". It is nothing but a parallel illegal banking system running in the entire globe with widespread roots all...
Law schools have been over hyped in almost all movies and T. V. shows. In fact, to an extent that a lot of students end up choosing law because of the over glorified image of a law school.
No, I'm not saying a law school isn't fun. I'm just saying that if you chose it because of the shows you...

School is one of the worst times, and sure later on you might think fondly of those days but when you are actually going through it, then nothing can beat it.
Already getting good marks seems to be most difficult thing you have to do, what with a million other things to think about. And now it comes to be...
Now I know some of your jaws are ready to hit the ground doing by the title, but we need to understand why reselling food waste, or even donating, is actually not such a bad idea. I do not wish for any of my fellow Indians to die of food poisoning en masse, that might be good for population...
Patanjali hitting new lows with new products.
Patanjali helps you learn new things everyday.
Gau mutra face pack - who would have guessed? (Obviously ignoring that fact that only 5 of all 800 Patanjali products have cow urine.)
After that fine for 11 lakhs Patanjali had to pay, the hullaballoo around the company seemed to quieten down a bit. But it was...

The tug of war for power between Sasikala and Paneerselvam is getting uglier by the day in Tamil Nadu ever since Amma passed away.
Jayalalithaa's death was a phenomenon in itself which has sparked a furore in Tamil Nadu's politics. More so because no one really knows exactly how Amma died. There were speculations even before her death...
Okay, so in the past year or so, or you can even take the past couple of months, we have seen a flurry of old and in some cases, classic songs being revamped and released all over again.
They could either be in a movie, like OK Jaanu has the awesome and one of my favourites, Humma Humma, Raees with...

The Pakistani-Canadian artist, Maria Qamar, might have started the #BadBeti campaign as a way to defy to the traditional ideals that South Asian girls have to uphold and how they should be etc.
But, recently the campaign has been given a new face and new image with the non-binary drag performer Abhijeet Rane, giving it a whole new look and...

The Indian constitution guarantees justice to all, but only few get the opportunity to vouch for that. There’s no denying that the proceedings of judicial cases in Indian courts can go on for several decades and probability is that you’ll get old and weak and die, and then your soul would have to hurl around the court for justice...

In April of 2014, in an empowering judgment, the Supreme Court of India recognised transgender community as the 'third' gender. This is when the 'foundation' of the empowerment of transgender community in the country was laid.
From the very day of this judgment, headlines never left the transgender community. From a specialised school opening in Kochi to India seeing it's...
Ever since Modi ji has come into power, and practically his entire campaign that lead him to becoming our Prime Minister was that he would take India to new heights. Digital India was one of the things that was sold to us all wrapped up in a shiny package with ribbons and bows and the shebang.
Till now that part...

But the latest ruling by the Delhi High Court (HC) to the UGC that is the University Grants Commission, that they must make sure...
School is not the happy place that many parents and elders would like to think so.
In reality, the happy and actual learning part of the school only lasts till you get to about 3rd class.
Though 5th, 6th and 7th are still slightly easy but very quickly, students are made to understand that marks are the most important and nothing,...
