I moved to Mumbai from Delhi a few days ago for my Post Graduation. It has not even been 10 days.
The process of my admission here had been mostly idle yet draining. My mind was filled with existential questions, the answers to which changed every hour. I was swinging between making extreme life choices. Absolutely not knowing what’s coming...

Italy is famous for quite a lot of things all over the world and one of the most prominent of them is the Italian Cheese. But what most of the world doesn’t know is that the makers of the Italian Cheese, which is supplied all over the world, are not Italians.
In the 1980s to 1990s, the Italians...
A few weeks ago, I was watching this movie called War Dogs, starring a very tanned Jonah Hill, of 21 and 22 Jump Street fame. Alongside him was that guy from Whiplash, Miles Teller. Yeah, that’s it.
So, Jonah and Mike play two guys who have their own gun-selling business. They are small at first, but then get into the...
On Tuesday, North Korea shook the entire world with news of having successfully conducted their 1st long-range missile test and claimed that this missile can reach probably any place in the world.
According to the Korea Central Television state broadcaster, the test reached a height or 1,741 miles or 2,802 kilometers, which would make it the highest altitude that any...
Before beginning with the listicle, let me make it clear that here I am referring to the Congress party and not the past Congress government(s).
As it is already known and has been already advertised by the BJP government, Congress has been at the center of India’s governance for over 60 years. Sixty years is an insanely long period. Enough...
One doesn’t often see hijackers being rewarded with Political Party tickets but then, if you are living in India, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. One of the finest or let’s say, one of the funniest and yet self- righteous hijackers in India served as our representatives.

We are back with FlippED! And this time our two Bloggers are fighting about the clash between Delhi University and GGSIP University (better known as IP University)!
"Do you have 100% cut-offs in IP University? No! Do you have over achievers who are being glorified on national TV saying that they’ll get into IPU? No! Argument finished. DU> > >IPU."

At midnight, on 1st July, 2017, GST was brought to the country as this new reform which was going to revolutionize the country laying its comparison to Nehru's ‘Tryst with destiny’.
How a major tax reform on one hand and gaining independence on another hand can even be compared on the same pedestal is beyond understanding; where one is...
Taxi booking apps have ruled the domain for a long time now, especially coupled with uncooperative auto-drivers and these apps seemed godsend to many of us.
Now we no longer had to stand in wait for that one good auto wallah to say yes to us and take us to our destination and that too without charging an earth shattering...
It's happening. It's finally happening. The modern pop icon of India's youth, Dhinchak Pooja is finally going to grace our TV screens on a regular basis because if rumors are to be believed, she's all set to appear in season 11 of the TV show, "Bigg Boss".
Yes, you read that right. I called her a pop icon and gave you...
This October, Delhi Metro will be introducing a brand new line that will run from Janakpuri West to the Botanical Gardens and will be called the ‘Magenta Line’.
One of the most special features of this line is the reduced wait time that drops down from the earlier 135 seconds to just 100 seconds.
But the faster speed is not the...

Why is the India-China Border Suddenly in News?
The India-China scuffle has always been a contentious issue in bilateral talks between the two countries. Recent skirmishes have come into limelight because India opposed China's attempt to build...
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.

The millennial generation is all about ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’. Armed with memes and a very fragile constitution that might result in a mental breakdown any second of any day, we are obsessed with making sure we impress and at the same time become the object of envy of everyone around us.
A while ago, I read this article...
McDonald's brought a revolution in India when the Vada Pav eating population started devouring on Burgers. Then came Burger King, aiding to a market that was already established.
What was common between these two? That they identified a unique niche i.e. the ‘burgers’, produced a food chain out of it and hence, excelled in establishing a name.
It’s 21st century and...
I am not someone who would ever support any militaristic practice (and my opposition to the Army has grown stronger over the years because of crimes committed under AFSPA).
It's funny how Indians respect the Army only on the basis of battlefield prowess or the hyper-nationalistic notion of defeating Pakistan.
What most people do not know is, Indian Army has been...
To deconstruct the anthropological anatomy of a lipstick would be to ruin the beauty of its power.
Through the decades, the ages, actually the eons considering that the Sumerians were the first ones to invent it, lipstick has stood as the makeup that empowers a woman physically.
Whether it was Queen Elizabeth or Marilyn Monroe, the power of red lipstick resounds...

My favorite thing about the tech industry: It’s always buzzing. Just recently, we had the Apple WWDC 2017, E3, and now Amazon.
Yes, Amazon is getting ready to purchase Whole Foods and no it’s not going to be cheap. This golden opportunity comes with a gigantic $13.7 billion price tag. Whole Foods is the famous American supermarket chain that stocks...

As reported in June, just a few weeks ago, Mukul Rohatgi, the 14th Attorney General of India had put in his papers and started the process to officially step down from his post.
Now, an AG stepping down before the turn of the political cycle is extremely unusual and usually resign when the govt. that appointed them falls or changes with...
There is no dearth of things that can be banned in our country. Whether it is article 377 or the use of gutka and pan masalas, there are too many things that we do not need in our country anymore.
So when I came across this Quora thread, I was pleasantly taken aback! What were the Indian netizens really looking...
