The era of feminism! On my telly, at my college, on my Facebook, anywhere I go, IT’S THERE.
Back in middle school when I first heard about feminism, all I could think of was that if it stands for equality, why is it called ‘FEMIN-ism’? Why not ‘HUMAN-ism’?
But that obviously couldn’t stop me from being engulfed into the vibe of...

Meerut, a small city exactly 70 kilometers from Delhi is the “cricket capital” of West Uttar Pradesh, famous for its sweets like Gajak, Rewri and Nankhatai! Is it?
Not much has been said or written about this place, except the sepoy mutiny and the First War of Independence of 1857. Apart from all of this, there is something...
Scientists over the ages have tried to incessantly discover more about the human mind. Most of that discovery has been through experimentation.

I was invented by some lazy people for they found it difficult to walk long distances. I'm a poor man's vehicle. I'm made of steel, have a pair of wheels, a seat, a handle and a pair of pedals.
I have been a companion of common man since ages.
I used to be every kid’s dream. Of all the things, they...

Science has always been an extremely interesting and unique field, one which has barely been scratched and still has loads more to explore.
In the name of that only, these Japanese students have managed to do the unthinkable and that- hatch an egg without its shell.
Yes. They broke the egg, took out the egg white and yolk and then hatch...
So Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai Take 2 is out and after having watched the 1st episode of season 2, and the many reviews about it, I believe I can safely say that can everyone chill out?
Making statements like how it’s ruining the show, it’s a bad start, how it should never have rebooted in the first place and more are making...
I recently came across an article which said the Bangladesh tree man would soon undergo surgery to get his warts removed. He is the 5th man ever to suffer from epidermodysplasia verruciformis, or "tree man," disease.
This results in branch-like growths on the body, especially on the hands and feet. It is caused by exposure to the human papillomavirus (HPV) for people...
Values, ethics, and morals are a complex interconnection and remain mutually dependent. The culmination of what they preach and the essence of these terms is commonly captured by the phrase ‘core values’ in an organization.
Science is testimony to the fact that every action that creates a resonating impact stems from a strong focal point or origin. Thus, similar to...

Recently, as I was sifting through the pages of a national newspaper and trying to assimilate the bland and boring developments, I stumbled upon a news article about an Indian doctor, Ramamurthy Kosanam being rescued from the clutches of ISIS after 2 years of captivity.
That’s such a rare happening considering the general consensus that ANYONE captured by...
Admission time can be extremely confusing. There are new rules and regulations, forms and more to fill out, cut-offs to keep track of and understanding that college works vastly different to school.
To combat this confusion and doubts that many students have, DU will likely be conducting a 10-day counselling session before the start of the new academic year.
This seems...

In fact, the MP is quoted to having said,...
While going to office can be really good and has some of its own perks, there are also the cons with having to go to the office every single day.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, getting the salary, working on exciting projects and if by any chance you get a good boss, a fun work environment too.
