The idea is simple, here. The more popular you are, the more chances you have of winning an...
Disclaimer: This is a personal piece, so feel free to contradict. Also because I don't care.
All the articles on the internet compelling "7 Powerful Poems By Rupi Kaur Everyone Should Read" or "15 Times Rupi Kaur Made You Proud of Being A Woman" never interested me - precisely because I don't like handpicking poems from a collection.

It was also a positive for the...
More often than not, you may have been a part of a social gathering where extra food might've been ordered and if you're that one friend who gets the unused food packed for your reasons, I can understand the number of eyes rolling in your direction and giving you a stinking look.
But fear not, champ. Don't worry and don't...
In this day and age, where a sense of humour is equated with the number of racial, sexist, homophobic slurs you can use in a punch line, I present to you, some wholesome hilarious shows to keep you company in this hot summer -
Brooklyn Nine-Nine:
"Do I even weigh anything to you?"
Where else can you find a show that...
Mother's Day.
A day to show your love and appreciation for your mother.
But, the other days (except, if she's lucky, her birthday) are to treat her like a household help and shout at her if she's not conforming to everything you want.
*slow claps*
I love how your idea of loving your mother is restricted to posting a photo of her on...
The celebrity world as glamourous as it might be is also filled with dark areas that many of us brush aside.
Celebrities have an addiction.
And that is a fact that we all must stop being surprised at. The fact that the majority of celebrities out there, whether from Bollywood or Hollywood have addictions is just a truth of...
Breakfast Babble: ED’s own little space on the inter-webs where we gather to discuss ideas and get pumped up for the day. We judge things too. Sometimes. Always. Whatever, call it catharsis and join in people.
This morning when I woke up, I knew I could sleep more, and more.
Why?
Because my prestigious End-Sem examinations just ended. It's like completing the last...

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”
Here at ED Times, we think out of the box. Then why shan’t our experiment be something out of the box? Have you thought of spending a day at Lajpat Nagar with just 100 bucks? No, I’m sure you haven’t.
Now if I ask you to give it a...

Indian Journalism is going through a phase that I wish I hadn’t witnessed in my lifetime, especially being a student of Journalism.
In all seriousness, I want to close my eyes very tightly and wish to see this madness gone when I open them!
The past three years have made Indian Journalism a topic of regular heated discussions and conflicts in...
It’s rightly said that there’s no love like that of a mother.
It’s conditional, selfless and you actually never even had to earn it. She pampers you right from the time you step into this world to the time she takes her last breath. And thus, she deserves everything amazing and more.
Mother's Day isn’t just about gifting your mom a...
A district court in Haryana just awarded a seven-year jail sentence to a woman who had accused three men of gang-raping her.

Here's what...
FlippED is An ED Original style wherein two bloggers come together to share their opposing or orthogonal perspectives on an interesting subject.

SRK or Shah Rukh Khan is the King or Badshaah of Bollywood, and say whatever you might of his films and how mind-numbing they might be, but one thing you cannot deny is the absolute mastery he has over oration.
SRK is akin to Mark Antony, a great orator knowing exactly how and when to use his words to capture...
Let me tell you a story. Circa 2007, a Canadian-US Stock market trader started out his day in a predictable manner. Grabbing a cuppa, he went to his desk punching in orders on behalf of his clients. This trade, however, didn’t turn out to be the way he expected, something felt amiss.
The hero of this story is Canadian Brad...
The entrepreneur sector has never been as enigmatic as it has been for the last decade or so.
Earlier always considered as a dangerous and non-profitable venture, being an entrepreneur is the new hot profession especially for the youth of the country.
And the economy and even the govt. for that matter is beginning to understand the massive potential that lies...
Harry Potter is probably the most famous character of the 21st century. While the books are filled with a myriad of characters, some of whom will forever be etched in the history of fiction literature, one cannot help but notice that some are quite underrated characters.
Maybe, just maybe, Rowling could've given a little more importance to some characters considering...

This article was written long back and is being republished again. I no longer possess the same views or ideology.
After so many years of advocating women rights on social networking sites, I finally am relieved from this harrowing debate. Feminism means to bring women at par with men in a male dominated society.
However, there are certain notions of feminism...
Nothing seems to be able to deter the Shahi Imam Barkati of Tipu Sultan Mosque, Maulana Nurur Rehman Barkati as he stated on Tuesday, "Even if PM Modi himself comes to me and asks me not to use the 'lal batti', I will not oblige to him."

The loss of a loved one is a very sad affair. Nothing can console the family or friends of the deceased. To ensure that the deceased souls have a safe journey to the afterworld, every kind of ritual imaginable is performed. Nothing is left to chance.
Utmost care is taken that their spirit does not come back...

So yeah, animals are no different than us Homo sapiens when it comes to getting high. You don’t believe me?
Here’s a list of 5 animals who are natural...
